Towns For Newbs-With Images

[Red Eye Dragoon]

Morning class,this morning I will be teaching you how to make maps for towns.

Step 1: Open RMXP
Step 2: Make A new map(about 30x20-for starters) Note: When you get better a mapping you will make map for towns prolly 100x 80

Step 3: Change your Tile Set to castle town for this tutorial.

If you dont know how to change it ,you right click on the map--->map properties,then pick your tileset.
Step 4: Create a border around the town.(Lack of trees in the town set make me use walls.)

Step 5: Lay down floor tiles,like in the image.

Step 6: Switch to your second layer,and add some buildings,like an Inn,Weapon/Armor Shop and an item shop,then add some extra building of your choice. Then add some other things like a cemetary or a fountain.

Step 7: Add some vegetation to your map. Add some trees. On that ,never line trees up in a straight row. Remember Nature is random.

Step 7: Add people,animals,pretty much,add the events you need to have a real town. Your town should end up something like this.


Thats it,your all done with your town. Though of course,once you learn more,your maps will look much better,than this practice map.
Class dismissed.

Note: This is my very first tutorial,i've written. Rate it please.

I should say that other mapping tutorials happen to be a bit more "complete" maps. I see a whole lot of empty space, a graveyard that seems out of place, only 4 houses in a castle town.

Of course, it is a pleasurable read for those who are starting this whole business.
