Favorite Tileset?

[Legacy_SuperFly_2000]

               Well...I can't choose a particular tileset that is my favourite as they all have different uses...but in quality and consistency of course the Bioware default tilesets are unparellelled. That said I am of course gleering at other tilesets as well...



The thing is that I want ease of use and also that it preferable is part of a hak pak.



Can't wait to see how Chicos tilesets will look like when put into CEP. That could be a real game changer.



Worms tilesets looks nice of course...from what I have seen so far. Also Maxam's. Six's has some good ones.



I've been interested about hte Babylon tileset but think the download is a little complex. I am hoping for a miracle to put it in the CEP.

               I only get one? That’s just impossible!

Anything by Maxam, Six or Worm (in alphabetical order) they are true artists in every sense of the word.

The Dwarven Halls, Codi/crp Swamp, and City Alleys in the Community Expansion Pack

Castle exterior-Rural and Fort Interior from 1.69

 CTP’s Babylon

 But they’ve all been mentioned already so to add something new and different to the list try the GHI Aethyr Tileset, it is a visual feast and so unlike anything else.

I'm a Fan! :innocent:

I downloaded this to check them out. Some .tga files are upside down.

goolum_02.tga
ford_01.tga
ents_02.tga
elven_tower_01.tga
druadan_01.tga
roan_02.tga
raurus_falls_01.tga
pantanito1.tga
osgiliath_02.tga
shire_03.tga
swamp_02.tga
swamp_dragon_01.tga
tirion_01.tga
tn7.tga
underdark_04.tga
wether_top_01.tga

That's just a random check of the package and certainly there is A LOT more like those mentioned.

For 600 megs, it's a lot of work to fix so many upside down images.

FP!

There is a single download for the whole CTP, or you can download just CTP Babylon and CTP Common (with CTP Loadscreens as optional but recommended).  I'd be happy to help you if anything about that confuses you.  (But it will not be put in the CEP, so please don't hold your breath for that.)

               Maxam's Dungeons (classic and Versatile) are just SO useful.  You can do so many different scenes with each.  As Sixes mentioned, they are also wonderfully done.

Any of Sixes' tilesets are excellent; I appreciate their smaller size, technical improvement, and beauty.

Helvene does some fantastic work, with the White Marble Castle being my favorite, but I also use her Mines and Caverns expansion (a newer version than what is posted), Wooden Elven Interior, and Marble Elven Interior (with Lord Rosenkrantz.)

Lord of Worms does BEAUTIFUL fantasy tiles.

I also have to mention Tom Banjo's Cellar tileset.  It's a great little miniset that works well for a lot of things.

Another pair that hasn't been mentioned are the Snow tileset by Xerx and the Barbaric North tileset done by s030363l.  If you are doing any kind of arctic setting, these are fantastic.  Alternatively, Helvene's new Winter Override certainly spruces the vanilla winter set quite a bit.

And of course, the CTP put so much hard work into fixing some of the best sets that have sprung up through the years.  I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

               Khuzadrepa: how could I have failed to post about Barbaric North?  It was in my mental list of tilesets to mention, but I must've gotten distracted while I was writing.  I use this tileset for all the Rasheman areas of my module.  The geometry is truly different in flavour from standard NWN (while the textures fit in with NWN style perfectly, at the same time).  I particularly love the beautiful tree terrain.

               While I have no favourite tileset (I try to choose what I think best suits a particular area) I do have a soft spot for Dungeon LOK part of the ctp as it's so versatile for such a small download.



If we're going for honourable mentions then what about the tilesets by Plush Hyeana of Doom. Then there's Sen's Seasonal Workshop which is based off of Lord of Worms Seasonal. This latter one recommended by the Lord himself!

It is quite some work.  Personally, I took a bunch of the loadscreens and
created my own loadscreen hak.  I did mirror image a couple of the ones I
found upside-down.  But the artwork alone and having it all in one
package to preview and use what you need is quite handy.  What impressed
me most was that Carlos did not limit himself to just fantasy loadscreens.  He also included a bunch of nice sci-fi ones for all the d20 modern module builders.

               My favourite tileset would be the Seasonal Forest tileset from WoRm; it has a lot of beautiful tiles making it quite nice to use, even if it is a bit limiting in tile combinations at times. If you were asking about my favourite BioWare tileset on the other hand, it would be the Castle Exterior, Rural tileset for the amount of things you can do with it. Also, one of my largest and most game-related areas uses this tileset.

               For the longest time I enjoyed DOA's Builder Base (yeah its a combo sue me). Never used it but I think the most unique and underused may be the oriental set by Coulisfu. There are a lot of sets though that are rather nice such as immersive swamps, codi swamps, rocky mountains, etc.

               Nobody likes Elven Interiors? Great marble work. Also Gothic Exterior and Gothic interior.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Eagles Talon]

               I'd like to find a nice tileset that has a more woodsy look for the elves.  Buildings actually "up" in the trees with raised bridge walkways and interiors that look like you might be in trees...all leafy and such.  Anyone know of any?

Gothic interior.

Think I tried this one. It was empty. While I would like to have one empty tile in the default tilesets (especially for tavern) there were only empty tiles without built-in placeables and I can't build very well with this. When I saw the big empty room I wondered what to place there and trashed this tileset in the end, unfortunately.

               I personally like some empty tiles.  Especially interiors.  I dislike chairs or beds etc. that cannot move and have ho way to efficiently make them useable.  Yes I can place invisible seating etc, but it's so much easier really to place what I want where I want it.  Sure, the more placeables you have the longer the load time for the area, but sometimes it's just worth it.

               Favorite Interior: Maxam's Versatile.  (I don't even know why it's called a dungeon, this gorgeous tileset can be used for damn near anything, and the guy deserves credit for making something spectacularly useful, and spectacular looking).

Favorite Natural Exterior: Diademus' Underdark. (THIS is how any scary subterranean area ought to look.  One of those tilesets that doesn't look remotely like a collection of tiles at all).

Favorite Artificial Exterior: CODI's Sigil. (Severely underrated and underused, I think it's the best-made and best-looking tileset on the vault).

Favorite Overall Franchise:  Six's Wilds_ tilesets. (Six is pretty much at the forefront of blowing peoples' minds and bringing this game in 2010 and beyond.  I think he's our best talent in the modeling community who's currently active in the game).

Favorite reskin of a standard tileset: (...Am I allowed to say my own?)
