You do realize that Leki is doing an outdoor town environment for LOG2 Eleven Warrior? He's probably a little over half way completed from his last post on it. Also Skuggs might be doing a similar thing as well. Perhaps you should PM them to see if it's worth converting the old tileset across. They may already be replicating and/or improving on it saving you the trouble (unless they are saving the tilesets for their mods only -- but that's generally not their style).

Eleven Warrior wrote:Yeah imam trying to convert Sx town and Village winter sets over and I am having problems with the textures eg: normal file. I tried hard to look at lekis tutorial on how to convert normal maps to the log2 style but its not going so good and not only that it's going to ttake a very long time to convert the old normal maps over, I think's damm I was doing so good and now I have failed, I am so sorry to let the community down.

Hi Eleven Warrior, how its going ? any news here ?

Hi DrakKan and Grimfan. Yeah I do realize that Leki is doing a outdoor set and I sort of stopped the Sx Town Set, but you are right I really wanted to pm them, but I thought they might be to busy and I did not want to annoy them. I tried really hard on converting the normal map files over to log 2 but will take a long time and with xmas and working 12 hour shifts ATM it's hard. I will continues the best I can with the conversions. The objects are not hard to port over that's the easy part it's just the textures. Some look ok without fixing them and others look kinda 8 bit graphics lol. I would have to say at least a month to finish the set, sorry about that guys. I really want this set in my mod as well badly ahy.

Ok I will do the right thing and Pm both Leki and Skuggs I really am a big fan of thiers, I love their works and what they have done for the community I will get back to you.

thansk for news. I think you do need not to worry and continue with town conversion. I know Skugg / Leki preparing some buildings, however I do not think they either of them is making city. And even if yes, it will be still a nice to have more different town tilesets for making different styles of cities.

Hi guys I will have the set out in about 2 weeks now, I have just made progress ahy Thxs for your patience.

Has anyone converted the original tilesets? The core temple, prison, and dungeon tilesets? I feel like I read about it earlier, but I can't seem to find anything to that effect. Nice job with the re-textured ones, though!

Hi guys a update on the Sx Town Set. It's coming along quite nice now, just need to learn a few things. Everything is working so far, but lights and particles are funny, still working on them ahy. If you check the posts Blockage Problem, I need some help on things please lol. I have to say thank god AH released the Assets Scripts, a huge help. Ok that's it for now will post when things are finished.

one week left before presents delivery ! keep working :d

Hi guys well I have completed a demo dungeon for you to look at and tell me what you think. I have got most of the objects to work eg:

Wall Lanterns and pillar lantern, wall fountain with water effect, floor trap etc..

-- Problems ATTM ---
1 - I cannot seem to get the Secret buttons to work maybe someone can and I hope so.
2 - The stairs I have got one set working, but not the best. The indoor stairs I could not get working, I mean the textures and model, which I used the (dark_elf_temple stairs) from this forum.
3 - I have not included a Ceiling shaft yet.
4 - My understanding of creating drawing tiles is bad lol, maybe some else can have a stab at the file (sx_town_tile_set.lua).
5 - I had to use some textures from LOG 1 as the sx set required them, they are in the (textures folder)
6 - I still need to include sounds for the fountain, butt I think there are already water sounds in the editor.
7 - Mysblade had some extra town objects that are part of this set and I will include them soon in the next update. eg walls, people, church, etc...
8 - I want to know if anyone wants me to add farm houses, fences, fence pillar, bed, toilet, more tables and chairs, mine beds, winter village set to this demo?
9 - I had to put (--) in front of the normal textured maps because it will take me to long to convert over. The textures are still in the mod if someone wants to do it.
I think the models look ok ATM lol, have not seen them in the dark....dammm...I forgot that....

I have tried really hard on this and hope you like the set ATM, when I get better at doing this stuff I will upgrade it. Now to get the objects from Mysblade sx town set.

perfect ! Huge thanks for sharing a progress. Few observations in case you are not aware:
- some objects (so far I find it for sx_town_wall_chain, sx_town_table) are clickable and when you click on it, it "open" the objects so it start to levitate up. please check
- sx_town_wall_lantern has weird particle, I suggest use regular one like it was (similar to torch)
- missing some objects (fireplace, flowers...)
- please make object sx_town_housewall also for 0 elevation (curently it is in height 1 by default so can be used only for two-floor houses)
- perhaps too late, but adding some tag for all sx_town objects could be fine for easy search in editor


I played with it a little and man this tileset is like a one fu*king puzzle Now I remember how many hours I spent editing with it in Log1. Not sure if you saw this tileset in action or if you have Log1, in case you want check here is link.

I do not have any other comments, perhaps just one small request - I do not remember how (if) roof exactly was solved in Log1, however I desperately need some to use it for this tileset. I think just adding regular ceiling (or flooor) object with roof material in certain height will do the job.



as for your problems
6 - I still need to include sounds for the fountain, butt I think there are already water sounds in the editor.
I think every modder could add water sound easily just with sound object. I do not think there is ambient sound for stream however, you can add perhaps which was used in log1 (sx_stream)

7 - Mysblade had some extra town objects that are part of this set and I will include them soon in the next update. eg walls, people, church, etc...
sounds interesting !

8 - I want to know if anyone wants me to add farm houses, fences, fence pillar, bed, toilet, more tables and chairs, mine beds, winter village set to this demo?
I think I could use some probably, but not sure if mixing all together is good idea. Maybe in worst each modder could delete what he / she do not want to use...
