Very clear, with the pictures included and all. Worked out great. Thanks!
Next thing would be to add texture and color to the ground and walls, maybe some shadows. After which doors and other object can be added. Dont really know how to do so, though. Couldnt find a guide for dungeon creation either. Do you have any guidelines available? or a link maybe to a source of information on this? I have seen you make some beautyful textures RobA is that all done in GIMP?
Well... this would be an ideal candidate for my new script
(Just loose the grid first)
to get a result like this with one click (more or less):
Otherwise, a few suggestions are:
- use layers (they are your friend)
- always keep the file as a .xcf to preserve all the layer goodness
- save as png
Here is another off-site tutorial on dungeons in GIMP:

And a GIMP mod I made of a photoshop tutorial:

Yes, I found and downloaded your script today, although Im still in the figuring-out-how-to-apply phase. But I love the theory behind such things, automating processes by means of programming. Maybe, when I have the basic dungeon making skills under control, I will give the scripting a try aswell.
The tutorials are looking promising. Cant try them out now as im not at home now, but looking forward to it.
The dungeon looks great, some small parts need separate attension (the cave in the opper right corner and the outside area of the temple) but that can always be done by hand afterwards. Thanks again, you helped me through the hardest part and greatly speeded up the learning process.

Welcome Zachariah. Great to have another gimp user here. Well done for throwing off the shackles of lurkerdom and introducing yourself. You'll have a great time here I'm sure.

Thanks guys
RobA how do did you get that floor effect in you example? Im trying to get something similar but dont seem to succeed..
The floor was really easy, but I am quite happy with it ,
and it is simply...(looking into plugin code)...:
- Render Noise (Plasma)
- Desaturate
- Adjust the levels so the output is from 108-148
- bumpmap the floor layer onto itself. The settings I used were height 50, depth 30.
Then I add a overlay layer of rendered clouds to vary it a bit.
