Author Topic: Up-to-date tileset packs. (Read 689 times)

Okay, forgive me for being upset. This game is TEN YEARS OLD, yet I can't find a SINGLE goddamn tileset pack in the NWN vault that has been updated to work with the latest version of this game.

Holy crap, what is wrong with people? Sorry, but there's no excuse for that with a game that's been around for a whole decade. Or is there? I don't know.

Anyway, please oh please can someone tell me where I can find tilesets that have been properly updated to work with the up to date version of the game? I simply cannot get all of the outdated ones to work correctly, they just cause too many problems. '<img

I'm most specifically interested in a rural/city tileset, but I've had no luck...

               For many older tilests its just a case of the developers having retired before 1.69 came out...

Try Medieval City tileset by Zwerkules

or Complete Rural/City v0.985 by Armor Darks

CEP 2.4 expands all of the pre-1.69 bioware tilesets as well...

Note if you use CEP2.4 it will usually not be compatible with other tileset addons.

Zwerkules' Medieval Rural should be a great one as it develops this in addition to his awesome Medieval City tileset. And there is Zwerk's Roman City tileset.
Six's Wildlands has a city/rural interface. Six also reskinned the City tileset.
Lord of Worm's Seasonal Forest can do what you need with the city/rural as well.
Fried Eyes fixed up CODI's Sigil Tilesets. They work well as a City Tileset.
Coulisfu's Oriental Rural coordinates well with the standard Rural Tileset Despite its age, I like some aspects of this one.
Lord Rosenkranz's Rocky Mountains has some interesting possibilities for a rural area.
And there is always NWNCQ for changing the appearance of the standard tilesets. I prefer my modular break down of NWNCQ
Babylon City by Community Tileset Project (almost forgot this one)

And thats just hitting some of the highlights. There is much much more available on the vault.

               What precisely is breaking? I'm assuming mostly doors. If so, you'll find its as much trouble getting tilesets to work with each other as with the latest game version. It's not very difficult to edit doortypes.2da accordingly, but it does potentially mean a lot of work if tilesets need to be edited to support the doortypes changes.

That said, I can tell you offhand that none of my tilesets require any custom doortypes. So you can use any tileset of mine in combination with anyone else's without any issues. You'll miss out on loadscreens but nothing else.

               Actually, every single tileset from CTP is 1.69 compatible. Our doortypes.2da is located in the CTP_Common hak and is easily found so it can be edited merged with other doortypes.2da files.

There is another file that you SHOULD also edit which is the areag.ini and file is also located in ctp_Common and has also been updated to include entries for all bioware tilesets and every tileset that CTP has released.

There are links to our releases in my signature.

Are you serious? In case you didn't realize it, the people that created the content on the Vault did it voluntarily - NOT as a commercial venture. They owe nothing to this game or to the Community for whom's use they produced custom content. Lastly, the final patch for the game was released only in 2008 - long after a good chunk of the Community had abandoned it.

Furthermore, your claim that you can't find a single tileset that works with the current version of the game is erroneous. There are many on the Vault - you just have to look beyond the first page of search listings. I'll list a few...

Wildlands and Wildwoods by Sixesthrice
classic Dungeon and Versatile Dungeon by Maxam
Mirkwood Swamp, Seasonal Forest, etc. by Lord of Worms
Project Q
CEP (Community Expansion Pack)
CTP (Community Tileset Project)
Medieval City by Zwerkules

You can also try doing a search on these names: Sixesthrice, Lord of Worms or WORM or LoW, CTP, CEP, Project Q, Maxam, Custom Content Challenge, Zwerkules, and so on...

               <offering a...>

Perhaps the problem isn't in the tilesets, but somewhere else. B E, can you give us some insight into the problems you're running into? Is it problems with doors as _six suggests? Something else?

               On my install, the NWNv169.txt filedate is 7/7/2008.

One would assume that mods created earlier are less likely to work than those submitted afterwards.

Many however will still work perfectly, it just depends on how complex the tileset artist decided to get.

               I know that the DOA city rural from back in the days works! I tested it a few month ago cuz i needed a few features and besides the cosmetic issues I had with (but whatever) everything was useable for me.

Yep!

As far as i know, all the cool addons like roman roads work as well.

I reposted DOA Builder Base Expansion Pack: DLA Trees (resubmitted) as well '<img

As far as DOABB goes, Armor Darks took it to the max, adding castle builder and everthing else there was at the time '<img

Virusman helped with SET files. (and I spammed the poor fella with every single rural vault addition I could find *grins*)

               ah, that is the one with the midlevel hills right? Loved the look of it that time.

Legacy_Carcerian · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2012, 11:35:51 pm »

Yes, it literally had everything (for its era at least)

Sooooo versitile! I used it for all my ultima mods (except pagan), reskinning the castle parts with ultima stone '<img
