Mapping tut, making a DESERT (fixed)

[:)]

OK so here is my fourth tut, I had this already made forgot to type it out. SO will show you how to make a great desert and not even touch layer three! We will be making a oasis

OK start tut:

Step 1: Layer one lay down the tile for sand (notice the red line it is the outline where the hero will go)You can select two tiles to lay the sand one is darker then the other, I selected the lighter one for this tut


Step 2: Using layer one AND two make this mountain outline. THe light tiles are placed on layer 2 and the dark on layer one. THe first mountain at the top will be where the player enters from, and the bottom two mountains help to show where the player will exit the map



Step three: Using layer one again, make a small body of water..whats an oasis without water, and it will make the map look more realistic once we add plants


Step four: Big step, now using only the second layer add a tree, rocks, plants, footprints, sand waves. Adding some green will really making the map come alive, the rocks and stuff should also be used. Try not placing too much stuff close to one another, spread everything out and try not to leave BIG places where nothing is there.
(also you can make the ground designs in first layer..the sand movement that is


Step five: YOUR DONE! you still have layer three if you need it! And here is a pic of that same in map in game play:

lol, its a new topic...felt like I should just trash the old one. And ya I take feedback seriously, it theres a problem I usually jump it the second I read about it. anyways I kinda redesigned it more green now, thanks guys to who corrected my old one!

[Lord Dante]

yeah, no prob.

I always thought they should've included more shadowed terrain tiles in rmxp...ah well.

[Snickers]

any well..My mapping will improve some think its good, I think its ok, but hey I have only been mapping for less then 6 weeks now thats how long I have had the software..sO think I have mapped even less then that, due to school and stuff...so I'm getting better and thanks to Darklord, and Lord Dante I am seeing my mapping mistakes~

Good! Although I really can't say I understand those hollow logs there...

[:)]

lol, IDK maybe you can use it as an event base, have the player sit on it...w/e it makes the map look FULL
