Test Dungeon with Torstans Tiles.

Those alcoves are great. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, yeah, I can take a hint about Viewingdale users, Redrobes.

LOL, its not just you. I had a few people asking for me to fix up the set into an easy download and the moment I posted it, everything went quiet... I am sure they are being used tho. I'll have to do a second wrap up and also add more icon files to cover different orientations and some groupings as well.

I think an ice tower might be a little tricky with these tiles... But I'm going to be working on an ice setting very soon (see what I did there ) so you never know your luck. Equally, Coyote's idea is worth a try, but I think they'll look a little strange.

Those alcoves are great. I'd certainly be interested in knowing how you made those.

I took a play with maxboy's map:



Doing a colourize, levels manip, then running the free "mezzoforce ice" filter on it (google for "mezzoforce ice plugin" for downloads as the original author site seems gone).

Fairly good ice for little effort, imoo!

Wow! That's really cool. I'll have a look at that filter.

I'll admit that it came out a lot better than I had expected.

Sorry guys, 'Ice Tower' is a bit of a misnomer. It's a castle built of white stone in the Frozen North, so these tiles would only need a slight colour tweak, unfortunately there are only two ways of doing it - I could go RobA's way of recolouring a whole map after drawing, or recolour each tile before importing into Viewingdale - both have disadvantages.

I'm quite sure I'll use these tiles - particularly the generic stuff like lightsources, but maybe not just yet. I'm sure a good many maps will appear over time with these tiles in them, from many users.

Anyway, nuff from me, this ain't my thread.

Nah go for it. Treat this thread as finished maps about torstans tiles and suggestions for maps made with them more than my particular map. Mine was just a test map. If by some natter we can make them better then its all good stuff.

In terms of ice, I think post processing the map is better than getting a full second set of changed tile images.
