Tutorial Using different tiles

[Insane!]

Using different tiles.​

By Insane!​

Ok we all know that we can use different tiles for our maps, but what about the tiles that we often ignore? Well I’m going to show you that using those tiles can improve your map!

Ok compare these two tile sets

Lorderon summer

And Black Citadel

“Wow”, now that’s different. Who would think of actually combining these tile sets? Me, the guy who wrote this tutorial! Hopefully this tutorial will show you to not be afraid to combine way different tile sets.


Now lets make a forest, Well how about Ashenvale? Nah for the purpose of this tutorial, lets pick something a little less suitable. Now with my option, “Lorderon summer” at hand, we shall look at all the tiles that I choose
From these two tile sets.

Now these tiles don’t look right together, So Far.
Ok on the top left tile, we know that it will not match with the grass (or the other tiles) so we set it at a lower level, and surround it by grass.

Spoiler

now that’s a whole lot better! To me that looks like mud, or rich soil.
which adds some realism to your map .
so now lets look at my example of using all of these tiles together.

yeah ok the animals wouldn’t be near that path (I probably should have made it look more abandoned) but do you see, that those tiles don’t look as out of place as they did before. Now do they? (Ok the path tile does, but for this tutorial, I needed to use the tiles I chose before.)

happy terrianing

Edit:
ok this may not be called a "tutorial", but maybe it is.

EDIT2:
Bent the rules to get a better grassy dirt
and to include all the grass tiles in the pics

Not bad. You should to other tilesets too. Maybe add elevations. Although it seems a bit wierd that there's a bunch of grass right next to dried dirt... Like where the racoon is standing. I also noticed you only used 1 type of grass, out of 3.

yeah but i only picked 2 tile sets for the tutorial that look pretty opposite.

and the other grass was cropped out of the pics
im gona fix that

EDIT:
yeah i didnt do my best at the end

Edit2

What is this random edit statement doing there? Please, remove it. Fix some grammar mistakes too.

> Me that’s who, and ...

You might want to provide more examples of tile combinations. I'm not so convinced.
You should also tell the user how to use different tiles. What if he doesn't even know that?

This tutorial definitely needs some more polishing in addition to the above points.

 

[Insane!]

yeah its my first tutorial
it has problems

and also i was wondering were that edit statment went

p.s.
I often use no good gramma

Edit:
So far all i got polished was 3 areas

Edit4 -_-

>>You should also tell the user how to use different tiles. What if he doesn't even know that?<<

do you mean how to add the tiles into the tile set?
sorry im so dumb at times

I guess useful but it still kind of doesn't look that good =(

I am not all that impressed by the end results either, to be honest. A good try but not that great end results.
