Phill Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi guys,I installed Eclipse a couple days ago and have finally (almost) finished my first map. Any suggestions on how to improve it are welcome. I'm currently using pre-installed tiles which I plan to change after I start working with vb6 and scripting. The graphics are basically place holders to test my code.Here's my first map; it's a mining cave. The left side is for the general public, access by the stairs (soon to be rope) at the to left of the map. The public's side features tin, copper and iron mining nodes, the current rocks placed throughout the map are place holders for the nodes. The right side of the map is for Mining Guild members only, the wooden "arch" is guarded and requires you to have a guild membership to get by. The guild's side features a couple rare rocks not easily found in nature. The door at the top (middle) leads directly into the basement of the Mining Guild's building (WIP).>! Here is the 1st floor of the ancient ruins that lead to the mine, the stairs lead to the basement of the ruins:>! Here's the basement of the ruins, leads directly to the mine:>!

Phill Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I forgot to mention I'm looking to add some water to the mine, however I'm having trouble finding a tileset that will fit in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annahstas Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I really like it so far. I think it looks like your an experienced mapper. Yet don't overcrowd it and make it look cliche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudsky Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The map looks pretty decent, but make some of the pathways and doors a little wider (let say two or three tiles) too avoid being stuck up (unless you will implement walk through player and NPC). It is missing (or over) with a thing or two, but with a minor retouch I think this map will look really good.The torch thing on the second and third map should be lowered by a tile (or raising the wall by one tile), since it doesn't look good if the flame is higher than the wall.I suggest that you connect this two parts using a lavasince caves usually have more than one path but some are blocked with an obstacle or two. It adds a "it's connected" feel.._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
