Well what if, people would post screenshots with pieces and bits of terrain that can be used for filling it up, that look nice, but a bit for the background. And I dont mean using doodads, but things that come close.
The reason im posting this is, im making an Rp, and I seem to be running out of idea's.
Jungle Dirt
This one is very basic offcourse. But this could be done on every tileset, every type of terrain. This is simply about passing on and sharing knowledge.
Jungle Cliffs
Jungle Water
When Rantent mentioned Tuxedo's work, I thought instantly of his terrain pallete. Nice piece of work. Decided to post it.

The sceenshot doesnt include all. I've added the map so u can take a look urself.

Note: Please dont fill this topic with comments as:
- Meh, that one is blocky!
- Mmh.. 8/10
If its blocky, don't use it.
I got alot of these types of things, but I don't like to share them because of the stealing that happens with custom doodads.
I infact, used alot of these already, good display of creatism.
I hate mirroring! Grahh! lol
:D
Well, just share some easy one's. I mean, basics wich more ''advanced'' people use. U dont have to share your unique one's. Surely u got something similiar I didnt post yet, but u are willing to share.
Actually, I just remembered, Rantent and I were going to do a full doodad list for custom and normal ones...
Keep this post active, keep showing more of your creations. I might post a screenshot of the ones I have so far. I have over 50 full custom doodads.
i got a map full of stuf like this...but i won't post in public

yeah not becuz i don't want to but because i don't know who made it and if i post it he/she can get mad you know..maybe PMed if you ask me to
ADDITION:
by the way

it's blocky

jk

LoL, I forgot about that too. I've actually made some new ideas since I last showed you. But we should make a doodad list.
Allright, new one's added.
Btw, if any of you decide to add new ones, please do so in ur most top post.
ive seen some of woodens custom doodads, the ones i liked the most were the cliff cave and the temple to cave thingy on a cliff...
i would post one of those but i dont think wooden would let me...
I'm noticing that some of those aren't doodads. (Like the cliffs)
A doodad would be something that does not add functionality to a map, and is simply there for adding a personal touch to a scene. Cliffs would not be doodads in that sense, they would be classified under terrain.
And all of these are pretty old. You should see if Tuxedo-Templars badlands map is still around this site. He had a lot of these already done.
is it possible to make doodads?
just like how you make extended terrain?

Or you could call all of cresent dyne a doodad by that definition

Well I didn't mention doodads, just ways to make terrain looks better. Double cliffs dont have a real function, they just look better compared to normal one's.
And I had Tuxedo's badlands map a while ago. Screenshot and map added. I haven't seen him around, and I dont think he would call this ''stealing''.
Pretty Cool! Some Of Them Are Useful Like In Woodens RPG (Very FUn!)
Except I had no resource for my doodads other then making them myself...
I have reached 200+ on the new

Like This.
Looking forward to seeing how the DDB has progressed over the weekend.
This is actually a very useful idea, but I think some newbs to terrain may abuse it.
What exactly do you mean by "spoofs"?
With ''Spoofs'' I mean to make it look better.
What do u mean with abusing? Stealing?

Yes... To a degree, I meant hey use them as a starting point, but never progress to better works.
So you are saying that we should help them until a certain level?
Yes, ween them off slowly.
