a small sample of the 100's (meaning closer to 1000) of new bams that will be in the WTP.
helmets, some blunt weapons, a few sets of armor, boots, swords (some things will have effects) some robes, and finaly a set of bracers

what do you think?

They sure do, that is some fine art work... I also just noticed that those are BG II graphics on BG I. Would somebody explain to me how I might go about doing that? I am assuming I will simply have to download something but I may be wrong...

this is the sub-map for the human city of Elista

it is a reformed map of amn, some edits added more water reflections, grass areas, fixed some flaws, left the bad shadows (eh, sue me tongue.gif)

Now this one is intresting! It looks like you took waukeen's promanade, temple, government, and the docks and rearanged parts of them.

thanks both of you. smile.gif

if you know how to do area graphics it is just a matter of importing the .bmp of that area and saving it as a bg2 area. (or more the oppsit but that explanation is a bit more confusing)
but if you have bg1 installed Infinity explorer can export it. if not the community assets has the maps up for download.
If you do not know I would suggest that you read the IETME tutorial that comes in the download of that utility.

I understand, I used to work on Mods for Neverwinter Nights but as you probably know that was a lot easier with a graphic interface instead of the code. I was usually busy with 2da files and conditions to make servers work well tho... I was a hacker then and im a hacker now. But when it comes to BG Modding seems like a more useful area to specialize in than hacking it for no reason. (sory for the little off-topic)

I quite like it. The water looks a little... 'canvas-y' but that could be a result of the resizing/resampling.

EDIT: Fixed quote tags...

there is also the graveyard and the bridge district.

that is BG seemless tile that you would not really recognize being that you are so close to it, but alas there is only so much you can do with it.... or is there smile.gif I guess that is in need of a fix (thanks for pointing that out) .I did however make the waves near the shore and the breakwater/wall

Nice job! You cannot leave the shadows untouched as that would distract in the transition areas. Redoing shadows properly is a major pain in the a$$ IMO.

to make igi happy I redid the water for amn/Elista. But as I said I will not touch the shadows, if someone wants to, that would be grand.

This is way cool. My question is though (I am dumb, I know) - is that a single map? or will it be divided into a series of areas? It looks awfully busy for just one area.

think of this like the mini map of baldurs gate city or of amn it is sort of actual size. it will be just a sub map of the actual world map.

I have completed 200+ bams of aprox. 1000 or so bams that are needed, about 1/4 - 1/3 of the remaining are misc. item bams (keys, wine, statues, ect.) and most likly will be made on a request based system some base line items will, of course need to be made.

If you noticed that there are a lot of just color changes that is so the item makers do not have to be forced to just pick one thing. I plan to have at least 3 different models of each weapon and armor, and up to as many as 8 models for certin weapons. with about 6 color themes.

this image is at about 25% of the original size and badly jpg compressed.

A side note to graghic people: this image was created by opening 200 sized 200x200 .bmps and converting it to 200 layers, w00t! my best/most yet.

A part of Fort Unity under construction about 10% complete
things will change alot when the finished so it will probably not look like this too much.
