Do a picture search for Tintern Abbey. That looks pretty Gothic and that's probably what the human temple will look like.

Thank you for the filenames of the tiles with walkmesh problems. I have fixed those and the fixed files will be in the next update

I will now make a couple of doorless variations of several building tiles.

It's unfortunate, but expected. Luckily, spanning archives is easy. It's more of a burden on the ignorant trying to open one for the first time, than anything .

Tintern Abbey is definately gothic. Props to you for wanting to do the work! I like Gothic, but have always had a soft spot for the 'weight' of Romanesque. I just wish I could do more to help than cheering.

You make me want to install Max again and get modelling, but I promised myself I would finally wrap my head around scripting before I got involved in a modelling project.

ADDENDUM:

The doors look great, There are no blueprints, which is easily fixed by a competent builder (I flatter myself), but what is troubling is that while toggling through models to create blueprints, I found there are 5 or 6 blank lines at the top of the list, and what *seems to be* hundreds of 'sewer gate' entries, some of which point to tileset doors, but most of which kick an error because there is no model associated. I examined the genericdoors.2da you included, and found it is a CEP / CTP generic door file with padding and your doors at the end.
I don't know if there is an action item here or not, but I wanted to let you know that the doors are behaving quirkily for those not using your setup. An overwrite genericdoor.2da should fix it though.

I also appreciate the placeables you included. I saw them in the NWNexplorer, and am looking forward to seeing them in the set. I am going to be including those in my placeables.2da overwrite. I would like to block out lines for your future placeables to keep things tidy, would 500 lines be sufficient to capture your current and future placeables?

               Would it be possible to make the 'Window' doors no-walk, even when open?  Being able to walk thru the wall when the window is open breaks the illusion you have created.

               No problem. I'll fix that tomorrow.

I wanted those placeables to be compatible with project Q. I'll ask someone from project Q if I can reserve some lines after the last lines they used.

Put it up on NWN Nexus if you still want folks to download your updates quickly while you're working on the tileset. There is no 25MB limit there.

Saves you from having to use the Vault's FTP site, then wait for the file to go live some days later.

FP!

               You could upload it here, make a project. It give you about 20 gb space and you can have a file as big as 95 mb just make sure to go back into it and click modify and change it to anyone can download it. Just some more options.

If you need help using the ftp upload for the Vault, let me know (there is no size limit on that).
You can always email me, too. For some things I'm quite willing to do a little extra finagling :-)

               Is there a plan to have any building terrain on the waters edge that blocks egress, and/or runs out on piers?

Not really.

Edit:
The castle terrain is the last terrain type I will add to the tileset.
I could have made the building terrain next to water terrain differnt from what I did and put the water right next to the buildings so that access to the buildings would be impossible, but I didn't want that.
If I add buildings now that will end right at the edge of the water, they will appear together with those houses with a sidewalk between the building and the water - and they will block access to those tiles when some builders would want them to be accessible.
So builders would always have to go through the available variations of the tiles to either get only accessible building tiles near water or unaccessible ones.
I don't want to make a different building or water terrain and the docks/piers will be crossers.
The only thing I could do is to use the stream crosser between building and water terrain to make the water end right next to the buildings. That however is very low on my to do list, as is the possibility of making streams run through building terrain. That is one thing I planned on adding, but only after I did a lot of other work on this tileset.

               I have an entire module full of partially built areas with the Medieval City tileset right now, waiting for more of the tileset to drop before I move past set-building and get into the set-dressing and placing the actors and so forth, and am always very happy with whatever you chose to do. If you do or don't include a particular thing I was hoping for won't affect my pleasure with this tileset. All that changes is how I build a few things.


With that said, I was looking at some old photos and got inspired to bang out a quick little area to test an idea, and was so pleased with it, I posted it as a prefab on the Vault. It's going to be a few days before it clears the submission process, but the URL should be http://nwvault.ign.c...Detail&id=1217

Approved. Just sayin'. ;-)

               I just gotta say, Zwerkules, that this tileset is incredible.  I think I'll have to add it to my PW in the near future, then likely rebuild one of the major cities just to use it.

I'm glad you like this tileset.

I came back from vacation on Sunday and didn't have time to work on any custom content until today.
Unfortunately my display driver told me a newer version was available for download and I was dumb enough
to install it.
When I wanted to have a look at the prefab area Leurnid did, I couldn't start NWN any more.
No matter what options I change in the display driver or which compatibility mode I choose, I can't get NWN to run any more.
I don't even know where to get an older version of the display driver. When I search for catalyst 2.1 and try the results they all redirect me to the download page for catalyst 2.4 which I have installed now and which is the cause for all the problems.

               You should be able to roll back the drivers directly from the device manager Zwerkules.  I had to do the same thing with mine.

I found the version 2.1, deinstalled 2.4 and installed 2.1. Now it works again.


Leurnid, I took a look at your area. I liked it especially because it was something I never had in mind when I made this tileset. Most of the the non-city tiles are just there to have some nature outside the city.

But as your area shows, they also work well without a city. A dam was nothing I thought of when creating those tiles.
