Dungeon tiles - a small project

[Thales]

Hey Torstan, just wanted to say that your tiles are my absolute favorite -- I use them like crazy! Thanks for the great stuff!

[torstan]

Thanks! I'm really pleased they come in useful. That's great to know.

Just shows how many twists and turns and little corners the guild has now, I've only just come across this thread....great stuff, Torstan!

[torstan]

Yep, this was a real beast to get through. The final zip file has over 300 files in it I think! I won't be updating this for a while... but I'm really pleased it's getting so much use.

This look fantastic. I had all but given up on maptool for actually making the maps, because it was a pain in the arse having to try and line everything up, instead of walls actually snapping to the grid like in CC3/DD3.

Forgive my ignorance, as i am only new to the mapping side of things, but with these symbols, should they be just added as is, as in if i want a wall longer then 1 unit (5 ft), i should put down the 5ft wall multiple times in a row, instead of just resizing the 5 ft wall to be longer?

Yeah I did a sample dungeon using these tiles here.

You should use them as is. You can download them within maptool now by going to Add to Library -> RPTools -> Art Packs (I think).

Then drop the walls on the background layer. No need to resize them - they should just work. That's why there's larger wall sections to avoid the need to repeatedly place single wall sections.

Ehm...I'd like to share my work. I did this a long time ago, but I stopped this project because I had no time to continue it. I think that it can fit with Torstan's awesome tileset and if Torstan likes it I give him permission to integrate it with his tileset, even with the brilliant maptool (there's no condition in using it, it's totally free). Anyway, here the stuff with a little example:

[torstan]

They're very nicely done. Good job! As for having them as part of the pack - I think it's best for you to set up your own zip and send them in to Dorpond at rptools. The packs have their own licensing - that require attribution if reposted - so it's not a good idea to mix authors. Also, the pack has a note that directs people to my site if they like the tiles, so I'd prefer the tiles and contents that people see to be mine, or I'd be dishonestly trading off the work of others. I think your stuff is great, and very useful. Even a small pack should be welcome on the rptools boards so I'd send this to dorpond and put up a thread with these in User Creations forum over there.

Really good stuff.

Torstan, these are really great looking tiles. I don't know how I missed this thread for so long but it makes me worry about what other cool things I'm missing. Anyway, I think these will get me back to working on Maptool sooner than I had expected.

I was wondering since I haven't downloaded your zip yet if I can build a dungeon in Gimp and then save it and use it in Maptool or do I need to build it directly within Maptool? I would prefer to create it in Gimp because then I can customize it more.

Thanks again for this huge labor of love
