Mapping Tutorial: Forest Tileset.

This is a mapping tutorial for the RTP Forest tileset.  This tutorial is pretty basic, so bare with me.

*Note* Remember, the first rule of mapping outside: Nature is random. 


Here we go:

Start out making a new map, mine is 25x40.

Step One:

On the first layer add some grass.

Spoiler for:

Step Two:

Still on the first layer, lets add some dirt.

Spoiler for:

Step Three:

Let's add some trees. Do this using the second and third layers.  Remember the third layer will overlap the second.

Spoiler for:

Step Four:

Now, we need to add some plants and rocks around to make it look more like a forest.

Spoiler for:

Step Five:

Next we'll add some animals.

Spoiler for:

Step Six:

Add some fog and some weather effects, if you wish.


Here's what it will look like in game.

Spoiler for:

If you're unsure of how to add the rain effect, read this.

Spoiler for:

Step One:
Make a new event in a random area on the map.

Step Two:
Find the Set Weather Effect button.


Step Three:
Select the weather and power.


Set the event to parallel process, and your done. :]

All feedback is appreciated, more to come. 

Great tutorial. You basically covered what a small area of a forest should look like(probably didnt word that right) I dont think we have a forest tutorial yet so will make a great addition.

Alls we got to do is just do that over and over on one map and, lo and behold, we have a fabulous forest map. Nice tut!

Thanks for the comments. Glad you guys like it.

nice tutorial. 

You have just recieved a comment from the mapping GOD himself... you should feel blessed he hasnt smited you, j/k. Is there going to be any more additions to the Mapping Tutorials soon...hmmm, hint hint

Sooner than you think. ;]  He requested the tutorial, I would hope he would comment on it.

Looks great, well done. I was acctully going to post my Sunny Forest tutorial, but that is not nessecary anymore. Great job.
