RE: Interactive World Map

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Something I've been working on for several months - an interactive world map for my upcoming module Karek Norn. This project consists of a micro tileset and several placeable icons. Right now the tileset is limited to the geography of my module setting. I have been toying with the idea of doing an alternative tileset using the grass, hill, and lake/moat tiles from  the TNO tileset, stripped of any features that rise above the ground or water planes.

Oooh! I like the look of the trees :-)

Tarot has a bunch of miniatures he's working on that I said I'd help re-texture.
Maybe we can get together (*Big* fan of Dropbox, incase anyone missed it ;-) and build a versatile lilliputian hak? =)

               I do the same thing with LR's Rocky Mountains with grass turned off. It has been a lot of fun so far.

               Interactive World Map Version 2



This version uses a stripped versions of the grass and q-marsh tiles from the TNO tileset. The mountains are placeables from TheGeorge's SoZ NWN2 MiniMap Icons, retextured and resized. I have also resized several of the icons and made series of river tiles (in the background behind the city).

If I make a public release, these river tiles won't be released with the set as they are specifically for my module. They will however be replaced with a proper river crosser...

Slightly different angle of the ame view, but with the addition of a waterfall where the river meets the mountains.

Lordy! You *do* make a fella want to make little placeable weather effects... <looks at calendar>
Perhaps by march...

Here I've laid in some new forest icons. Sorry, had to replace the individual tree clusters with a larger spread of foliage (derived from _Six's thicket placeables in Project Q). These look more like a proper canopy anyway - which you want for a world "map" anyway.

The town icon is a placeable, modeled to the contour of the tile upon which it rests. Below is a closeup of the town icon.
