jcsnider Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think you did great, there is alot of detail and stuff, if this is your first, you have a great future in front of you in mapping maybe…If you make your own game you can know that the maps will be kick@$$and if you want to join a game you can know that you will be hired for a good one in less that five minutesGreat work10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzman170 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 tyvm :D that gives me the curage to work harder on them and do more. i hope to improve as far as i can, so that i can start making those nicely detailed maps that i have seen some people do. tyvm for the compliment :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaming ace Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Very nice and detailed for a first, yes, however I strongly encourage you not to mix tilesets. If you fix this, the map could be much better. Still, for a first its impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzman170 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 the problem with my tilesets is that some of the buildings are in different sets, so all my tilesets are just a big jumbled mess all over the place lol. its a little harder for me to not mix them as i need tiles from 3 or 4 tilesets. well maybe 2 sets actualy. but thanks for the comment! ill definatly keep that in mind and see if i can fix it with using only 1 tileset.

Soljah Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I give this map a rating of 5/10.Reasons being:1\. You have mixed tile sets. (-2)- Do not ever mix tile sets, this being said, it is smart for you to edit the tiles you do not wish to use, out of your tiles.- Personally, I would instantly logout from the game, were I to see the map upon entering.2\. The 'detail' in which you have used, needs to be more natural. (-2)- The plant, rock, tree, flower next to the house on the upper left, needs to be changed. It isn't often you would get such a 'variety' of different objects, right belong side a house, natural or not.-You can make the detail much nicer, by placing 1 theme of vegetation among the whole map, be it shrubs, grass, flowers or not, but try not to mix everything too much. Sometimes too much detail, can be **too much** detail.3\. You need to fix your transition areas. These can be found: (-1)- The road, next to the top left house (the one you shouldn't have there).- The long grass in the bottom left of the map, bottom left of clump.- Top, big house, the right hand side of the path leading towards it, does not have a corner piece.I do applaud you for your first map, you will get there eventually. Practice makes perfect.I'll rate any other maps you wish to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Very good first map, the only problems is the tile mixing. and the inconsistancies with the house sizes. Unless you have something like hobbits or dwarves or something, then it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheatking Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 First off your top left house. The one with the red roof. The second window going left to right is too high. It shouldn't overlap the beam.The area behind the door is darker than t needs to bee and above the door is black. Thats a no-no.In front of the house with the plants trees and rocks. They seem to have been put ther for no reson. There not even decorative.The east wing of the red roofed house the window is the wrong type. It comes too close to the bram. And the left side of it theres a bit going down. There shouldn't be.The maillbox goes into the flowers It shouldn't.The next house, Yellowroofd one. Wrong tiles mate and again weird plants infront.The road seems to go into the hoses.The tree to the front ov the map overlaps the house eventhough itscloser to than the middle than it would appear.Tats all I can be bothered to say right nw. But I'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
