CODI's Legacy or Let's all make some more Planescape content!

[Legacy_Morikahn]

               There is the unfinished texture on the Inevitable that needs to be done, for CODI.

               It's just a thought but does anyone know of a free-standing spiral staircase placeable that they can point me towards. Otherwise how are you supposed to implement the infinite staircase? Planescape isn't just Sigil you know.

               Tell you what would be nice, either a placeable for the Infinite Spire, or possibly an Outlands tileset with potential for stuff like the various Gatetowns and such. I spent hours once trying endlessly to stack boulders and huge rock placeables one on top of the other in an attempt to create a convincing Infinite Spire, and all the graphic lag was immense, not to mention it looked horrible. The aim for such a thing would basically be to create a large Spire that you can see from a distance even if you make the biggest area possible and place it in one end of the map, and start on the other side. A placeable would probably work the very best in terms of making it so that you can actually place it a bit 'outside' of the map, making it so that you can walk around it across several areas. Plus the possibility for small walkways, caves, etc, for the barmies who might attempt to climb it.

Just an idea, at least. I just think it wouldn't be the Spire if you were able to see the whole thing from a distance.

As I always think that it is a good idea to know exactly what is available, if you are going to ask for more, I have compiled the following. It is a list of the non prime material plane tilesets that can be used for planescape modules. Where there is more than one version of a tileset I have tried to list the most complete and more fully debugged version. If you think I've missed a tileset please let me know.

The first 2 are the most obvious.

CODI's Sigil Exterior and Stem Interior By Friedeyes
Planescape Baator 1.0 By FAST_Rex

Next we have 4 Fire-Plane variations,

EtherPlanes - Fire Desert v1.0 By GuS
EtherPlanes - Rural Fire v1.0 By GuS
Hellish Caves By Tiggsie
The Fire Plane version 2.0 By spoonmerlin

and a general diabolical one.

Abyss By Elesias

Most numerous are the shadow plane tilesets the best of which (in my opinion) is -

Shadow Plane Exterior Tileset v1.0 By senemenelas

The reason that the shadow plane is the most numerous is that TheMountain found a method of creating shadowy versions of normal tilesets and ran with it. As well as the tilesets listed here TheMountain also created creatures and placeables for the shadow plane.

Shadow Castle v2.0 By TheMountain
Shadow City for SoU By TheMountain
Shadow Crypt for SoU By TheMountain
Shadow Dungeon for SoU By TheMountain
Shadow Forest for SoU By TheMountain
Shadow Interior for SoU By TheMountain
Shadow Mines for SoU By TheMountain
Shadow Plane Tree City By TheMountain
Shadow Rural for SoU By TheMountain
Shadow Sea By TheMountain
Shadow Sewer for SoU By TheMountain

Now we come to the weird stuff. One thing to note is that the two tilesets by Stilgar are different from one another.

The (Elemental) Plane of Cheese By Sir Attilla
Organic Mines V2.0 By Stilgar
Organic Mines/Caves (Flesh) V0.8b By Stilgar
MGS Rural 'Over The Rainbow' By MGSkaggs
Floating Roads Tileset v1.1 By Gaia_Werewolf

Finally we come to the works of Plush Hyena of Doom. Personally I think anything that PHoD produces is worth a look. I have made an exception here and included a link to the corresponding placeables because they add so much to the relevant tilesets. You might also want to take a look at the creatures that PHoD has produced.

PHoD H.R.Giger Tilesets and Placeables
PHoD Metal City Tileset
PHoD Metal Crypt Tileset
PHoD Metal Vault Interior Tileset Thing
PHoD Metal Placeables of Doom
PHoD Metal Wastelands Tileset
PHoD Sinister Spleen Surgery

So there you have it. So far, I make it that there are 30+ non prime material plane tilesets that are suitable for planescape. Anyone care to do similar lists for creatures and placeables?

[Legacy_Eradrain]

               Thanks for compiling that list.  It's worth mentioning though that you left out a few pretty excellent offerings.  You included some Abyssal/Hellscape tilesets which are basically just reskins of the Bioware rural, while neglecting to include LordofWorms' very excellent, from-scratch take at that kind of landscape.

So the list is welcome and much appreciated, but there's other great stuff out there too.  Maybe given time we can add to it and make a complete, definitive document.

               The "nothing to see here" version of my Spectral Woods tileset is what I used to use for a shadow-plane like environment. It's hiding here. Not sure if it's that useful but it does have raise/lower and water as far as I recall, which the regular Spectral Woods doesn't.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tarot Redhand]

               Thanks for the input Eradrain. Perhaps you could post the name of the tileset in question because I thought LoW had done something along those lines but couldn't find it when I looked. Oh and a link would be nice as well.

               @_six heh! We must have been typing at the same time. Anyway I've only just downloaded that tileset of yours half an hour ago and hadn't yet checked it out, so thanks for the heads up.

[Legacy_olivier leroux]

               Thanks for this helpful list, TR! :happy:

I think the tileset Eradrain refers to is WoRms' Scorched Earth (also included in the Arbor Falls hakpak but the versions seem identical).

One screenshot showing Scorched Earth and two other "extreme" tilesets also has a space/astral plane(?) kind of tileset by WoRms but I couldn't identify it yet. Not sure if WoRms ever made it available to the public.

Everyone, feel free to add more suggestions! '>

               OL, the space/astral looking one is part of Extreme Tilesets (ARCHIVED) - scorched earth, planar and desert oasis tileset which are contained in a single hak. One I left out was City of Brass By MGSkaggs. I left it out because it is not complete - you have to have the author's Desert City tileset installed in order to use it.

               To whoever it may concern. I realise that what follows is not strictly speaking custom content related but this thread is the most obvious place for it to appear. This illustrates why I beleive we need a seperate general builders forum. If you disagree with my placement of this please tell me where I could put it (Anatomical suggestions will be ignored).

In the same vein as my previous list, I present what I think are the 19 pre-fab areas most suited for use in a planescape module or campaign. Not all of them were originally intended for such use but I think they are suited for such a use nonetheless.

When researching for this list I realised that there were in my opinion 2 glaring omissions. I couldn't find a pre-fab for the City of Doors, Sigil, itself. Less surprising but still missed, the City of Tanelorn. For those that don't know Tanelorn (in Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion books) exists on all planes where humanity is present. It may have a different name on a particular plane, but it exists nonetheless.

Note some of these use CEP 1.5+, some use CEP 2+ and some don't use CEP at all.

This 1st one is actually a Forgotten Realms pre-fab but surely purple dust is unusual enough to be of use for some other plane.

Plains of Purple Dust By StrawMan

Amongst the 6 areas of the next one there is one of the Abyssal Plane.

18 different looks from 6 Areas By Borden Ha'elven

These next 2 are in reality demo modules masquerading as pre-fabs. They may still be useful however.

Planar Travel System - v1.0b By Kieron Scott
Organic Tileset By Jing K. O. B.

The next 3 are obviously planar.

The Hall of Destiny By MasterM
A Little Taste Of Hell By Ralph Stadig
Gateway to Hell By Vasteel

As are the next 2 by a single author.

Hellscapes I By MachalaS
Iron City of Dis By MachalaS

Again a single author has contributed a pair of elemental plane pre-fabs.

TomG's Elemental Plane of Fire By TomG
TomG's Plane of Shadow By TomG

Finally The most prolific pre-fab author who has produced 40% of the pre-fabs in this list and all to at least a good standard.

The Heavenly Court By Chaos_Theocrat
The Dead God's Castle By Chaos_Theocrat
Red Dragon Cathedral By Chaos_Theocrat
The Drowned Palace of Dagon By Chaos_Theocrat
Tower of Stratos By Chaos_Theocrat
Kali-Yuga the Lost By Chaos_Theocrat
The Gates of Hades By Chaos_Theocrat
Crimson Forest By Chaos_Theocrat

You may not agree with some of my choices. You may think I've missed an obvious one (or more) out. You may think I've included one (or more) that don't belong. That's fine. Just let me know. This list can always be altered.

               *Hand-raise* Um, the Arcane Haven one is for NWN2..
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tarot Redhand]

               Dang, so it is. My excuse is that it was posted in the wrong section (nwn instead of nwn2). I have now removed it from the list.

Does anyone recognize these heads? They're part of the haks from the Gatecrashers PW (which sadly doesn't seem to be very active anymore) and I'm curious as to who is the author and if they were ever released to the public.
