*New*!

I added some new textures to the map to make it look a little nicer. The textures are from this topic on the TW forum.

I love the new textures.

It looks like you still need to smooth the water out.

Also, there should definitely be a lot of trees around the area where Redwall will be. I think there should basically be a forest on the East side of the path, a forest just north of those hills in the deep south, and a forest among all those rivers in the north.

So far so good. Definitely

niceee I like it.

Like ares said, smoothing out the water would be nice

[Jezze]

Thanks for the comments! The rivers need to be smoothed and the landscape around Redwall abbey needs some work too. Consider it done .

Also, sorry for not pointing out the following details earlier:

Redwall is not on a hill. If anything, it is a large dried up lake-bed. Flat ground should be ok though (sorry if you already have this right. It just looks like you put a hill where Redwall is supposed to be)

Also, don't forget about adding a couple of mountains in the north east of Mossflower Woods

I thought it was on some kind of hill on the map . Will change it.

You could put a band in the mountains b/ Asomudues lair was there in the sandstone mines...

What do you actually mean with a Band? A Band of Bandits?

[raqill]

Yes, In the first book, the Abby recorders talking about what Cluny did, and he talks about him collapsing a badger den there I think... And besides i think the mines would be a nice place to hide out...

[ares007]

We'll definitely try to add in the quarry with tunnels and stuff.

[ares007]

Oh, and don't forget about Riftguard. I can just be at the mouth of the northernmost river accessible on the map.

[Jezze]

I am going to put a list soon with the kind of models I am going to try to make. Also which ones should appear on the map and you are welcome to make suggestions.

- Fort Bladegirt (Terrmort Isle)
- Ruddaring (Teleports you to the Holt Rudderwake, if this scene will be made)
- Lingl-Dubbo Cave (Just for decoration, or the same case as Ruddaring)
- Fort Marshank
- Redwall Abbey
- Gingivere's Farm
- Castle Floret
- Saint Ninian's Church
- Quarry
- Castle Marl

I made, I think, a pretty complete list with special map icons which could be made for the map. The only problem is that you can never fill the map with these few.

If you have any suggestion or additions, please post. I will start first with Redwall Abbey, since that is the most important building.

Update Map Icons

Maybe you have already seen this in our topic on the TW Forums.



It will get some editing, to decrease the faces and the detail and to finish off the walls better. I hope to do this soon.

Also I hope to post more screens of the map with the right locations.

Nice so far, but try to take out all the not neccesary polies there.
