I take it you are talking about the village area as I don't think there are any trails/grass in Amkethran!

What I do is cover the whole area in grass first (leaving any trails if there are any in the original), then I use Photoshops Clone Stamp to make the trail. After this I use the Clone stamp at 20% Opacity on either side of the trail to blend it more with the grass.

I do much the same with grass to blend buildings etc where they touch the ground.

The Opacity slider is your friend in area editing.

Is there a tool for copying what is under the mouse pointer at any point?

In Photoshop it is called Clone Stamp and you can copy any part of the map by setting a radius to be cloned and holding down Alt when your mouse is over the area you want to clone. Then you can simply click anywhere else on the map to lay down the cloned area, by doing this in a line you can create a walkway/path.

I assume there would be something similar in the program you are using.

Another idea might be to find some tiles that are suitable for a walkway path and add them to a new layer in the general direction you want the path to go. Then use your eraser to make the path the proper shape, also blending it with the backgroud if your eraser can be set on different opacitys.

hmmm never thought about that...

"Is there a tool for copying what is under the mouse pointer at any point?"

yes, it's that squiggly shape on there... it works like lasso or you can make a polygon with it(each time you click, is a corner of a polygon.)

Yeah I never uploaded this one. 16mb bmp even after raring!

I just don't have the time at the moment to wait for it to upload. I'll put this up by the end of the week.

Any other ToB area's you might like to see changed/expanded just let me know!

Re: the modified AR6005, that's pretty much perfect, thanks smile.gif. Is there any chance you could do something similar with AR3015?

In case you're wondering, I'm working on expanding the Underdark in SoA.

Rabain is on vacation for a couple of weeks he might be able to take care of that when he returns. Did you want to keep the portals and that blue statue?

What I'm after is for the portals to be replaced with cave entrances. I'm not bothered about the statue either way smile.gif.
