What tilesets do you hate?

Recommended Posts

I was just curious what tilesets don't you guys like mapping with. For me, my choices are a bit unusual. I hate mapping with any town map and I also don't like the mountains tileset. Suprisingly, the caves don't bother me too much.

Well RMXP maps are limited in general; as in to small; offering to little to create a unique map. Yes people have made nice maps before with them, but the lack of "stuff" makes almost everyone's map look the same.

The only tileset i hate is the stupid Ship Tileset. Why give us something we cant use? 90% of the ships in 32bit RPG's use side ones.

See to me that wouldn't look right for a ship. I prefer a side view.

 

What games and planet do you come from? I have never seen an RPG use a side view of ship (this includes 3D).

God, yes, the Ship chews ape. I can tolerate most anything else, the Ship sucks. Only thing that sucks worse then the Ship tile? Ship Interior. The walls alone are way more complicated then they should be.

Really? FF6 is the only one that comes to mind for me. Probably a ton more, just can't think of any right now.

ATM, I loathe the FortIn tileset. Why? Simple: There's practically nothing in it. In order to get my map to look the way I want, I had to make nearly all the wall tiles from scratch. (I hate it SO MUCH that as soon as it's finished I'm going to upload the extended version so others can use it too.)

 

That Ship set looks painful, though. And I'm going to have to use it later. *shudder*

You will not believe, but I hate all RTP-Tilesets in RMXP. In particular, due to their limit. What can we do sensible of such a small set of each set?

 

Unless of course you are not super-mapper like Kiriashi. :biggrin_002:

 

I am personally in this situation and make this as a spriter.

I just created a few mega-tiles of the objects in a set of RTP. And it is MUCH better looking.

You will not believe, but I also hate all RMXP tilesets because of the same thing.

 

Seriously. I could probably make a career on making and releasing expanded versions of those tilesets alone, that's how much they suck.

Ship tileset..

I hate it with all my heart. That's the reason my adventures are all located on dry land.

I always mix tileset objects on to one another and re-color some of the stuff for more variety so the game isn't as dry. I totally agree that the ship tileset is no good though. I've never even used it a single time! XD

Wow gary that's pretty good! I also hate the Ship tileset and the Inner Body one.

 

 

I think we all hate the ship tileset, but I LOVE the inner body tileset.

I dont like any of the RTP sets. whoever the artist was, needs a lesson or two on theory, and color conservation.

I use RMVX so I don't really have any current comparances to the tilesets. For me the hardest was the ship. I could do the interior fine but the exterior not so much. Golden Sun and Golden Sun: Lost Age used a combination of vertical and horizontal ship designs, and then managed to pull it off quite well. What I disliked about RMXP games in general is that people had these exterior row boats and interior titanics. It didn't really match up, threw off the realism and symmetry.

 

I am relativly, we lets say quite, skilled with mapping in RMVX. I have been working on mapping with the program for just under 2 years. For me, there are some tilesets I dislike from a design point of view and some other that are just not fun to use. There are three I dislike and that is the pink inner monster tiles, the purple veiny tiles and the futuristic metal tiles.

 

The inner monster tile serves very little purpose to me. If you get eaten by a monster you die in my games, its as simple as that. The same could be said for the purple viens, they serve limited purpose, if any at all. Some mainstream games manage to pull this off quite well, for instance Zelda The Ocarina of Time managed to do this with Lord Jabu Jabu.

 

The metal, furturistic looking tileset is essentially purposeless, there are no tiles in the other tilesets to match it at all, they would have been better putting in, say, a black wall tileset for dark mountains or dungeons rather than having metal and vents and screws and other thing that probably would not hold up in an RPG game.

 

By far though, I find tha hardest thing to map is plains. Trying to create an area like Gran Pulse's large expanse on FFXIII is extreamely difficult to get right.

I hate world map tiles. I dunno why, but I just hate them. I stopped playing Golden Sun because of it.

I love tile set E in VX. It is some wonderful and useful. It's the best tile set in VX.

I hate how WildArms 3 World Map is where you had to search for every thing otherwords you'd end up walking in circles.

I hate both rtp packages for VX and XP (more VX), i know it's hard to create your own tiles and all, but man that's all i see whenever i take a look at a project.

At least take the time to edit the hell out of them, or start ripping some Suikoden sprite work or something..

 

 

Kage Kazumi-

I created an inner tileset fir the tent a long time ago, should still be rolling around somewhere too.

It's one of my older works but still looks good.

I STILL dislike the ship tileset the most.

 

It's like it's going out of its way to mock me and what little skills I have.

VX tiles pissed the heck out of me the first time I used the program. theyre way too squared to look good. theyre impossible to make them look fluid and flowing, and all because the artist was an idiot. I seriously think that if they make another addition to RM, that they need to rethink the art they put in it.
