My maps :D

Heya, I’m gonna show you some of the maps I have made so far ;D
I have only played PMU for like 2 months, and mapped even less. That means limited experience with mapping…

First map: Mystic jungle

Second map: Forlorn hills

Third map: Ancient Cliffs


This is my favorite map so far! :D

  1. Map: Dry Desert


Added 11 Aug. 2012

5.Map: African Savanna


Added Aug. 15. 2012

It may be some errors I’m not aware of here, since I’m still kinda new…
Also I read Char’s mapping guide right after I finished the map Ancient Cliffs, so the maps coming after that one may have more features and might be more correct.

Anyway, hope you like my maps :D(Critique is also very welcome)

Put the Url betwen them for the pic.

Mystic jungle:Not bad but has some error like the pillar and the “door” in the second cliff from the left.

Forlorn hills:Theres a lot of error on the mountains at the bottom.And personally i think you put too much skull on the map.

Ancient Cliffs:The rock on the top right of the map.But actually i think this one looks awesome. :joy:

I see a nice mapper in you, a few errors, but you’re actually pretty good :D

Thanks for your feedback(s)!

@Xezor
For some reason the whole map wasn’t shown in the map ‘‘mystic jungle’’, I’m not sure if I understood you right, but i don’t think the pillar is an error. I don’t actually know why the cave opening is like that, lol

The map ‘‘forlorn hills’’ was actually just done in a hurry, and the dark tiles in the map editor is limited, so I had to use pretty much the same items as decoration. And yeah you are probably right about the errors in the bottom cliffs…(this map isn’t from the game, just from the map editor you can install)

The map ancient cliffs is my newest map, so its probably also the most correct one…(Clearly my favorite)
But isn’t it just good that the map seems to continue out of bounds?

I think I will be better over some time :)

@Exalted
Thanks ^-^

np~ btw, you might want to add to it, use photobucket, tinypic , imagegur or any other picyure sharing website.

I dont know why but that pillar look strange for me :S It looks like it comes out from the wall…

Try to put something before the cave entrance, but i dont really know how to fix it.

Critiquing? Well, I do a lot of that. ‘A’

And about how the images aren’t working, the links you provided are NOT the direct links. You have to right click on that image and press “Open Link in New Tab” to get the Direct Link. Unless it is provided when you uploaded it.
I prefer to use imageshack.

Mystic Jungle

•Not bad, I like the variety in this place.
•The cliffs seem a bit awkward, sometimes rectangular. Try to keep the cliffs flowing and smooth.
•There seems to be a bit too many decorations on the bottom right.

Forlorn Hills

•The cliffs flow a bit more here and are a bit less rectangular.
•The skulls seem a bit repetitive and the map seems a bit bland, although, I don’t blame you. These tiles don’t have many special ones that fit the theme.

Ancient Cliffs

•I love the combination here.
•It definitely fits the name.
•Watch your cliff consistency. The lower cliff has different heights, and it just seems a bit unnatural.

You should try making cliff holes of various sizes and shapes. Put some decorations in them and combine them with dungeon tiles for a larger variety of ground.

I’ll be looking forward for more maps from you. Happy mapping!

Pretty nice maps.
But you can always improve!
Map better and better.
Mapping has no limits, you can improve more and more anytime.

Xezor: Maybe it just didn’t fit there? It just looked right in my eyes, so i kept it. And i remapped my house some days ago, so i can’t fix that now… Dx

Agunimon:

Yeah i really like decorations, lol… Maybe it gets too much sometimes too, thought too little decor isn’t good either.
I agree the cliffs are kinda quadratic and rectangular in the map ‘‘mystic jungle’’, and i got a tip about shaping my cliffs more afterwards.

I used some dungeon tiles in the map ‘‘ancient cliffs’’ as ground, so is the water.
Thanks for the tips thought :joy:
Actually i just made a map yesterday,(After reading char’s mapping guide) with cliff holes, but something went wrong when i was gonna save it, so i couldn’t upload it… :>_<:

I tried getting it as picture, but it didnt work…

More maps coming soon :D

Those maps are just totally Awesome! :D

@squirtle Thanks :D


New Map Added!!!

DryDesert

Btw, I know that bridge maybe didn’t fit very well, but I couldn’t find any better :x.x:

Your Welcome! :D

Highlight those links, and then click the button that says “Img” two buttons from the left of “normal.”

(In the post editor.)

yeah it’ll be better ^

what do you mean by highlight the url?
it wont show the image…

Again, like I previously said.

Go to: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ci8lky&s=6

RIGHT CLICK on the Image. Press “Open Link in New Tab”. The image in the new tab will be seen via the IMG BB Code. Take the URL of that site, and then type:

[img]http://oi47.tinypic.com/2ci8lky.jpg[/img]

It should show up as:

Anyways, this one looks good.

•There is one cliff near the top right which is longer than the others.

•Not sure if cliff holes on the same cliff are supposed to be the same height, but okay. :S

I suggest throwing in a BIT more green in there. Otherwise, looks fine. P:

Keep on mapping!

Oh thanks a lot it worked fine to upload pics now.
All maps in title post is now in images ;D

And I wasn’t sure about the height of the cliffs as I added cliff holes, but I hoped they were same height lol
I was quite unsure if I should add anything green or not, but I decided to make it without any water or green plants…
If there were any cactus plants in the tilesets I could have done it thought…

Btw, Thanks for the review ^-^

Not sure when next map will come, but I don’t think it will take very long…


New map added!!

Name: African Savanna

Hope you like it :D

Sorry for double posting…

When double posting is necessary, such as in updating topics, I am pretty sure it’s fine. Double posting when it is not necessary such as adding a comment to a recent post, I think, would be considered “spam” and that is why it is frowned upon?

Anyways. I love those tiles. <3

• The top right / top middle seems a bit bare. Maybe try adding the HGSS grass? I love using that stuff.

• Also try adding a path? Those work well. ~

Thanks for the info ^^

Thanks for feedback, i’ll try to add a path next time :)

I don’t have much knowledge about HGSS, as I’ve never played it, but I can sure find it out xD

P.S
If any of you notice that there isn’t any cliff corners, i’ts because i couldn’t find any cliff corners matching those tiles…
maybe it is in-game, but not in the map editor that you can install beside PMU.(At least I couldn’t find any…)
