Is there a great forest tileset?

[Legacy_Tonden_Ockay]

               

Hi all

 

I like Mountainous Forest is a very nice mountain forest. However I'm looking for a very nice low land forest. I like the looks of Worms forest but it loads really slow. I have been looking around of the vault but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for in a low land forest tileset that does load really slow. So I thought I would ask all of you for I'm just getting back into NWN and have been out of the loop for years.

 

Thanks for your time.

Worms Forest tileset does a lot of what I want out of a forest tileset and it looks great. However it is so slow loading and working with compared to the standard tilesets  or even other great tilesets.

 

Thanks for your time

Try the following:

 

Toro's Rural Override: http://neverwinterva...-rural-override

Before you say " I asked for forest tilesets!", I recommend this as it'll help merge transitions for rural to forest better. (I.e., your rural areas will better match the texture/feel of newer options).

 

Toro Winter Rural Override: http://neverwinterva...-rural-override

Yeah, I know. This isn't a forest set either. Trust me though. If you'll be creating snowy areas its worth grabbing.

 

Alright, now for some actual -forest- stuff. '>

 

Bioware Forest Tileset Override: http://neverwinterva...ileset-override

This changes textures in both standard and CEP versions of the forest tileset. It works fairly well with many other haks based on the Bioware Forest as well, though oddities may at times arise.

 

I would also reccomend adding the Project Q tilesets as they'll add -six's- "Wild Woods" as well as expand the TNO options. If you're not already using the CEP, I'd reccomend using the complete Project Q as your base hak set and add the above haks/overrides to it along with anything else you desire.

Have you tried the versions of Worms Seasonal Forest where each season has been separated into its own hak? If you read the description you'll see that this has been done to improve loading times.

Six's Wildwoods is a great forest tileset. I don't know if it has been transfered from the old vault to the new, but if it hasn't, you can find a version of it in Project Q.

Thanks for the help I'm checking all these out right now. I'm checking out Six's wildwoods right now as I am typing this. Is there a way to turn off the white things that float up from the ground?

 

I'm going to check the others out in a minute.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions

What I usually do is -select- all of the tiles on the map and open their properties, then disable all animations. Then I go back and enable those effects if/when desired in specific tiles.

I tried that one but it still felt slow loading. However I found an old copy of the only summer and that one seems to load pretty good.

 

Thanks

I tried worms all seasons and even the separated one but they both loaded way to slow for me. Both of these are on the new vault.

 

I tried to find a copy of worms only summer, but was unable to find a copy of it on the new vault. Fortunately for me, I was digging around on my hard drive and found an old copy of only summer and  it loads really quickly. I can't change seasons with it but you can't change seasons with any other tilesets any way.

That one still loads a bit slow, because it uses SENs addon, too. That makes it still quiet large. BTW, higher RAM speeds up loading time.

 

There was a project, which used WORMs set only split into seasonal HAKs and just by changing the order of these HAKs, the seasons would change. Anyways, it loaded pretty fast (if I remember right).

 

It think, it was made by Friedeyes, but I can't locate it atm (a link to download). Have to check my older PC. If I find it, I'll let you know.

Hi Tonden Ockay,

 

Although it has not been migrated by Friedeyes - they've recently created an account and started uploading their content to the Vault - it was created. Sadly, the mined data did not pick up all the required files for this tileset. You could contact Friedeyes on the Vault and see if he's going to migrate it over himself.

 

Description:

 

"This is a summer only version of WoRm?s Seasonal Forest. We removed all the Winter and Fall tiles from his set. This tileset should be good to build with. Consider this a gift without reservations. The wrm_Summer.txt file has more information on what we did. December 15th 2009 Added most of Senemenelas' add-on for WoRm's Forest. sen_summeradd must be above wrm_SummerV10, in the hak list to work."

 

FP!

Found it!

FP is right: Friedeyes is "Summer only".

 

The other one was SEN's Trinity project for Cormanthor.

 

Will try to upload both this weekend, if it has not been done by someone else.

Sorry! Did a double upload. Sen has a project page:
