In any case, right now I'm dealing with [url=http://www.weather.com/storms/winter/news/winter-storm-jonas-impacts-new-york-city-long-island]winter storm Jonas[/url] (I'm in the NY area), so things may be delayed a bit. Two feet (60 cm) of snow is not fun. aww, well, you can try to open the editor and change the terrain to summer meadow, see if that helps Top Quote

Anyway, tell me if these look good: https://www.mediafire.com/?j520ft4p5c5u3kt https://www.mediafire.com/?gajobf1j4496uja Edited: 2016-01-26, 20:30 Top Quote

Make the color match the busy road, the dungeon or the headquarters? The entrance doesn't match the road - rotate the building a bit. Also, the busy road texture is a bit wider than the building entrance. Or maybe closing the wall and giving it an archway/portal like the other buildings have will solve this problem best?

I can shrink the overhang's size, however. As for the flooring, I'll have to take a look. I'll take a look at the entrance as well. Top Quote

So if it's not suitable I'll have to try a different floor. Top Quote

The roads gets stretched and turned... that's why the look this way. So if it's not suitable I'll have to try a different floor. I tried also some things with gimp for the floor. My last idea was to have a main color like the buildings have and put in there some small concentric circles, fe. with grass (the one from the buildings tops) or something like cobbles. Using cobbles the little bushes could maybe surrounded by them. Grass or cobbles could also be used on the outer border of the floor, to better distinguish between the wall and the floor.

We'll just have to live with it then - maybe a pixel artist can tweak this once the building is finished. New screenshot: I think it looks great now - maybe the tiles on the floor could be a bit darker though? I think they stand out too much. Thy to reduce the brightness and the saturation of the texture a bit. You can use the busy road texture for comparison - it should not look brighter than the road, but it can look darker. It might also look good with the turquoise bits being gark grey oir the green of the dungeon, and the grey bits being the turquoise of the headquarters. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote
