[QUOTE="Darraketh, post: 337223, member: 847"] La Bete, not a problem, I agree we can disagree.:) I dislike the line drawing capabilities of HexMapper. So I gave it a try in PSP and to my surprise it was quite simple and I'm very pleased with the results. With the success of this little experiment I'd like to leave the style of rivers and roads up to the individual mapmakers. With that said, I don't see a need for tiles specifically depicting rivers or roads. The tile set has nearly doubled in size and it's on the verge of becoming unwieldy. I'd like to reserve room for other possible interpretations of new terrain or overlays. Possible overlays could include; cemetery, cavern, portal or additional resources. At first I was racking my brain trying to come up with tiles to include in the set. Now with the more than welcome addition of the seacoast tiles I feel the need to be conservative with the real estate that's left. ---- BTW I'm using Paint Shop Pro v7.04 for titles and line drawing. To create the rivers and roads, I used the "Draw" tool, the color choice is up to you. [u]Settings[/u] Type: Single Line Width: 4 Line Style: #1 Solid Antialias: checked Create as vector: checked Close path: checked ---- PS For the record anyone may distribute the tiles I have made in anyway they deem fit. They are for gamers by a gamer.:D So go ahead put them in the downloads section of your website. Upload them to your favorite download site. Alter them, delete them, change the order, add more if you will but please share your efforts with me.;) [/QUOTE]
