The Pharaoh/Cleopatra game has a editor that lets you make trees and a whole bunch of other stuff. It has it's own unique files so it probably isn't useful. Makes nice scenery.
Seeing the initial responses, the Hickory Branch MOD Under-Entrance map will be a couple of similar shades of gray...teaser pic removed and to be posted later.
That's either the entrance to a secret underground disco, or the lair of a powerful sorcerer with a gender identity crisis!
Makes me wanna sing: "Fire at the disco! Fire at the Taco bell!" These are really good looking krunch.
***** SAMPLE TIME ***** I made the ISO 2D tiles for (kicked it around alot) and here is the initial artwork effort to make a burnt down building. This is a part of the main map...more artwork effort still required. PS: Notice the texture of the rocks, grass, and dirt? [EDIT] You can see the actual building details better as you get closer to a full view at a 1:1 ratio, and being able to see the detail fades away as you are farther from seeing the full texture. The picture below is smaller [looks farther away] than a full view and, thus, you will not see sharp details of the texture.
Krunch (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) the way this is expanding, maybe it should be a seperate module? We have the technology to do these things now.
oddly enough... I just downloaded the newest version of the mods 5.0(?) in hopes of playing Hickory Branch. Now I know why there was nothing about it in the notes. Bummer but I will gladly wait for this mod to finish. At least I get to play in Verbobnoc for now. Best wishes on your endeavors.
The Hickory Branch MOD is available starting in Co8 CMF 5.0.1, was updated for CMF 5.0.2 and remained unchanged in CMF 5.0.3.
