I am releasing the first tiny parts of the program I'm working on called RPGui. It's supposed to be a tool for network DMing and gaming, and will support a good few many features that I think should be standard, but due to development time being ... well ... time consuming, I can only work on it...

I thought about making the Character sheet look-alike, but then do I have to get permission from Wizards to use the d20 ruleset, even if it's in a free program?

Heh, It won't even be that complex :) I don't want to charge for it, that's why 1.0 is gonna be bones, but it will work, dern it :D So, I'm taking notes, and I'm almost done with the chat interface's first pass, so I'll have a test program up in a few days.

I had started programming a simple RPG-aimed chat interface for people who'd like to be able to play any kind of RPG online with their friends. I need help identifying some of the key requirements for being as versatile and easy to use as possible. Here's what I know I need so far. (o) A chat...

I bet I could slop something together :D What would the client need to do for you? What kind of interactions would you need with the players? What would you need to do that they shouldn't be able to? stuff like that. It'd have to be more simple than the Fantasy Grounds program ... naturally ...

See, I didn't know it crashed on second maps, lol ... i'll fix that in a day or so.

You can make your own tiles by replacing mine with 72x72 pixel .BMP images. If you don't want the grass to have two tones, you can replace ground2.bmp with ground1.bmp, or your own. If you want to make your own dropping tiles in place of trees, you can put anything in it you want, but don't put...

Oh, it drops a forest.jpg image in the same folder as the EXE. You can make your own tiles by replacing mine with 72x72 pixel .BMP images. If you don't want the grass to have two tones, you can replace ground2.bmp with ground1.bmp, or your own. If you want to make your own dropping tiles in...

Oh, forgot, there's a forest.jpg image in the folder that the exe is in. That should be it :D

Here's a simple forest generator. It creates a printable tile map with a percentage of tree coverage, dirt and grass, with two different types of grass that you can use for optional "light and thick growth". Tell me what you think, and if you have any requests, I'll try to incorporate them, but...

Ok, this will be the first draft. This may be the only draft for a while, lol, so tell me how I did, and please enjoy. http://www.togamario.com/zip/forestgen.zip

Ok, I think I have a better idea of what you're aiming for. I have a great idea! Why don't I make it spit out two maps, one of the floor, dirt, undergrowth, treetrunks and all, then a canopy cover for it, so you can remove it when the players enter, but they will at least know that it's trees...

Ok, here's a quick shot of what I've got so far (about an hours worth of work) I haven't gotten to making it actually draw the image out, but the setup is done (as far as simple goes) Think of anything else you want to add? First I'll have it do just solid colors, then I'll have it add symbols...

I have an idea what I need to do for it, and although it might take longer than I thought at first, I just need to know what exactly you need it to do. Are colored squares good enough, or do you need more detail than that? Is it a larger world-type map, or smaller "dungeon"-like map?

I use a lot of photos that I've taken of many types of surfaces, and run them through hue, saturation, constrast and other subtle changes till they become what I want them to be, lol. To help it look less like one photo, I switched blocks of the image around to make it look like unevenly colored...

::Jaw drops a little farther:: Thank you for all the research! I can order some of this and make a test set to play a game or two with my friends, then hope wizards wants to mass market an official DND mag-tileset, lol. Or, if nothing else, I can hand craft each piece, and charge to cover my loses.

Hmm, I'm on it :D - BlitzBasic to the rescue, i'll have something hopefully by tomorrow.

::Writes down idea:: Excellent idea! Glad we thought of it ... :)

You know, I really didn't think about that ... I'll update it later tonight, lol.

I added a more clean looking concrete-like flooring tile, and I've also added a sample made in 45 minutes that shows the use of doors and other full-dungeon map techniques I use (like for numbering and secret doors).
