Tiles

[Dirk]

Hi there mapmakers,

Is there someone among the map makers who has taken the trouble of creating a definite list of texture tiles that complement each other ?
I really have the greatest problems to get the right tiles next to each other, although.......I must say that I've learned a lot from the downloaded maps.
If such a listing does not exist I'll do my best a create such a list.

dirk,

in the days of stw, tosainu and i did a LOT of work with the tiles and textures. in fact, tosa even made a map that forced all the tile textures on one map to show what yer talking about a bit. this is very hard to do in the current editor.

one thing that you can do is to take screenshots of the textures and load them into a decent paint program and arrange them there into matching groups, then print the entire thing out for reference. i suppose you could even do this by just making a number map layout where you dont even need the textures, just the texture numbers and arrange them according to what fits with what.

in all honesty, tosa and i just got so good at remembering what went with what that it was rarely a problem and in the editors now you can see the textures displayed pretty well at the bottom. and really, that is the best way. it's a little harder now, with the addition of more textures, but not that tough after you've done a few.

still, i know what yer talking about and it would be nice to have a nice color hard copy of the textures with their numbers and what matches up with what. i'd say go for it cause i dont really think anyone else has done anything with it in the newer TW games.
