Nice! The stairs in the bottom left corner of the second one look a bit wonky, but other than that it looks great.

"Tyranny is a quiet thing at first, a prim and proper lady pursing her lips and shaking her head disapprovingly, asking, well what were you doing (wearing that dress, walking home at that hour, expressing those inappropriate thoughts) anyway? It's subtle and insidious, disguised as reasonable precautions which become more and more oppressive over time, until our lives are defined by the things we must avoid. She's easy enough to agree with, after all, she's only trying to help -- and yet she's one of the most dangerous influences we face, because if she prevails, it puts the raping, robbing, axe-wielding madmen of the world in complete control. Eventually they'll barely need to wield a thing, all they'll have to do is leer menacingly and we fall all over ourselves trying to placate them." -godlizard

Some of your buildings have no shadows at all, or the shadows go off in different directions. Other than that, these have good potential.
By "fully playable" though, do you mean you've also created the tilesets, wall outlines, search/height/light maps etc. that go with playable areas? If so, that really is great work.

Well, from what I understand they're created automatically with IETME.
The best way to create an area, IMO (besides modelling it, of course), is to create it in Photoshop, where you have a lot more power over what's actually happening, and then use DLTCEP to make it into an area. DLTCEP is deceptively simple to use in this respect, it just takes a bit of reading up and practice.

Compton's occlusion mapper might be an improvement over DLTCEP, for wall mapping at least.DLTCEP is deceptively simple to use in this respect, it just takes a bit of reading up and practice.

yes the maps have walls and search maps so the npcs can go where they are supposed to go and there is shading behind the walls. there may be a few walls or search regions i missed i only quickly went over them.Some of your buildings have no shadows at all, or the shadows go off in different directions. Other than that, these have good potential.

Those are very nice areas. Good job.

no probs K'aeloree this new map is in jpeg and is a very old and overgrown graveyard long forgotten i will also post this in the saverok romance post as requested, this is the first design and may be edited:)Can I suggest you save them as jpeg rather than .gif? Chances are it'll look much better, and might even load faster, as well.
another new area post snowy town

Is that just me or does the "snow" look more like "Ice" in the last map? Could be an explanation why the snow seems to have a blinding effect ( on me at least. bright. so bright. )

yep your right there, reason is there were three available snow tiles i choose the ligthest with the least detail as i drawn the tiles to the map. the darker tiles of snow had more detail and when drawn were more clearly repeatative and looked unnatural.Is that just me or does the "snow" look more like "Ice" in the last map?

Because I've do not wanted to make new topic, I'm posting my area here:
It's almost fully playable (I've don't made regions, and exits yet, but walls, lightmap, search regions etc. are prepared). If somebody wants to get full area, please PM

Great work!Cheers,

I've been thinking about making some areas, without any quest, and maybe some monsters, and make from them mod, that could make BG2 more like BG1. It means, that traveling from Athkatla to Trademeet, Windspear, etc would require to travel though 3-4 areas. But it will take much time, and work, so I'm going to post also other areas (when i'll make them of course 
) and maybe somebody inspired by them will get idea on some cool mod .

Very nice work on both areas I particularly like the building in the second one. And "transition areas" would be very cool indeed. Plus, it would allow modders to use relatively uncrowded areas for their NPCs/quests/whatever else, since some of the existing areas are getting pretty packed.
