Made in a similair fashion as Dwarras Mapping Tutorials for RPGXP : House and Cave Interiors. I see a lot of games where the Inn interior is either neglected or dead boring. So I came up with a idea featuering my own Inn for Town 1 XD.
This Inn features 2 Floors and is rather large (at first glance)
What layer serve what purpose?

The First Layer
The first layer is used for the floor, walls and roof.
The Second Layer
This layer is used for putting some detail in your Inn, like couches, decorations, windows, desks, closets and of course blankets (not beds).
The Third Layer
This layer is used for finer details, like putting stuff on top of the registration desk and beds
The Event Layer
This layer is not for mapping, but for making events like NPC's (Innkeeper, miads and guests), doors and teleporation between the maps.
[Step 1 : Making your map]
Okay, to start off with make a map 78x42 called "Inn" (XD) and select the Castle Town Interior tileset
[Step 2 : Creating the Inn Entrance Hall]
Okay, we start off with the first layer by building a stone floor, carpets, walls and ceiling.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg157.imageshack.us%2Fimg157%2F1864%2Finn11l3hn.jpg&hash=4f6df18389cbb3605ee15cc914f394466c7dbe2f)
That empty space can be used for a bathroom, dining room or a store room which you can decorate yourself.
[Step 3 : Decorating the Inn Entrance Hall]
Okay, start using the second layer for decorating the Inn with benches, a huge desk, and several wall decorations (since the entrance must "greet and welcome" a guest.

Use this fase to decorate that empty space if you plan to use it, or just leave it empty and let the players wonder what secrets lie beyond.
[Step 4 : Detailing the Inn Registration Desk]
Okay, now start using the Third Layer and begin adding books, registration paper and drinks to the desk. That way guests will now its the desk to sign up and make them feel that the Inn is high class.

[Step 5 : Populating the Inn Entrance]
Okay, moving on to the Event Layer. Add a Innkeeper Event NPC behind a desk, also add a door event behind the Innkeeper. Also add some random NPC who will be the guests and 1 or 2 maids. Also don't forget to add a teleport even on the top of the stairs.

[Step 6 : Making your Second Floor Map]
Okay, to start off with make a map 78x42 called "Inn 2F" (XD) and select the Castle Town Interior tileset. Preferably make it as a sub-map of "Inn".
[Step 7 : Creating the Inn Second Floor]
Okay, we start off with the first layer by building a wood floor, carpets, walls and ceiling.

[Step 8 : Decorating the Inn Second Floor]
Okay, start using the second layer for decorating the Inn Second Floor with windows, wall decorations, tables, closets and blankets (not beds)
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg160.imageshack.us%2Fimg160%2F7056%2Finn22l6aw.jpg&hash=82836355f7a1bcf868706919fefa3d46b4bd252e)
[Step 9 : Detailing the Inn Second Floor]
Okay, now start using the Third Layer and begin adding beds(make sure you overlap your 2L blankets, also maybe a teddybear or 2.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg146.imageshack.us%2Fimg146%2F2810%2Finn23l2kl.jpg&hash=37a7e944bb0c830121cb98ef6809715153a818e6)
[Step 10 : Populating the Inn Second Floor]
Okay, moving on to the Event Layer. Add some maids, guests and doors. Also very important is to add a teleport point at the center of the stairs.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg68.imageshack.us%2Fimg68%2F3381%2Finn24l2ac.jpg&hash=b5fecfd1487bc7c4a622639407e5019fd67555ea)
[Step 11 :Finishing Touches]
Now make sure that the teleport points are correctly configured by setting it to Hero Touch and teleporting the player at least 3 squares away from the other area Teleport Event. Also add some dialogue to the NPC's, some background music and off course linking the Inn entrance to your own world.
Looks great! Are though the first floor looks like a strip club to me(?)
Quick question...is than an inn or a hotel? Everything is way too spaced out and virtually the exact same. :O_o:
Pretty good! Most helpful!
It is a Inn that also can be used as a hotel, you can copy your Inn and paste it in different towns and making it a succesfull Inn Branch.
That is what I did, I copied this Inn 3 times and placing 1 in every city I made (which is 3 in total).
Well,it pretty good,but in the rooms there are stools on top of the tables.
Its a preview bug, if you start up the game then the stools will display properly under the table
Hmmm... why make it so... BIG! Its more like a hotel. Also I do not like the enterance, it is going over the ceiling autotile!
It is also very repetitive, a sword in between every window? and the some funny straw things on every pillar, just makes it look tacky!
But apart from that your mapping isn't so bad, could be better, but overall, not bad.
big empty spaces
too big empty spaces
if you were here when people bothered commenting maps you would get
"omfg more details"
such emptiness at some spots...
and it seriously is too big
copy pasting an inn btw is a big mistake, it's like the creator didn't bother doing anything new, lowers the game quality of course.
did i say it's empty already?
big... empty.... big...
and that room with the 8 beds...
is that the "i am too poor to stay here" room?
or the "how it would look like if the only things i could put in an inn are beds"
don't get me wrong i am not good at mapping either
but honestly that's just not a tutorial i would use =\
no offense...
Although mapping isn't my strong point, that inn is a little too big.

OMG! ROFL! That was one of the funniest comments I've ever heard :lol:

I guess you didn't bother to read the "Add some finishing touches" Part now did you?

i guess you proved again that you are an idiot mental, didn't you?
No i didn't and i would like to know,How the hell did i prove im an idiot?And im actually using this hotel for my game unlike you.

and the question again..?
lol
i guess it's just for the sake of balance that some are wise and others are... lol
one thing is for sure, you really are slowly but strongly becoming the new blaze, as dumb as ever but with new skills like being drugged gay and listen to crap music
... :shock: Sensless fail? Has anyone actually heard of that band?
Anyway Mental is begginning to be the new Blaze. Lol heck, mayby Blaze will come back acting like a normal person or something XD!
Senses Fail..Isn't popular. They have THOUSANDS of fans.Compared the system of a down and green day and all those popular bands.. That is like an action figure and a baby
Senses fail is the action figure and the baby is the popular bands.
I met them FACE TO FACE. Thats how i know of them.
Stay on topic! ><
I'll try to get this back on topic. Okay this pretty decent tut. The only thing that could be nit picked on the maps is that for an inn they are slightly too big. They look good, but if they were smaller they'd be execelent.
I hope this helps get this back on topic.
