Im mapping Althea all alone also, and im using raw. But as i said, this hes way to map, not mine.. I map in raw because i dont feel it look good enough with autoborder, but thats my view of it.. You and everyone else can map the way they wont, i just said it looked autoborder because the lack of shapes.. :)

Xedrai, maybe make the swamps larger and maybe some other grounds then grass under? :)
If your suppose to walk through there, its a bit spammed..

Yeah now I just started up the editor with the sprites replaced so the plants are made after the original sprites.
Will make a test area and upload it! :)

EDIT:

Here is it with some bigger ponds.

if you're currently mapping the 'dead marshes' u should experiment with darker grounds/nature ;D the water is perfect but grass seems too bright

The dead marshes are on the wrong side of the map for now, I'm mapping from the west to the misty mountains to start with, then I'll go further south towards Isengard. :)
But this is for the marshes around the Shire. But I have to agree about the grass being too bright, I might make my own version of the grass, but for now I'll go with this one!

I make what I can ;) hehe

Last time I was working on this project I had made quite alot of sprites and gotten sprites from other members too, but sadly some of them are lost now so I plan on replacing just some sprites as of right now.

That was just a test piece so it won't be ingame, but I'll try to detail it as well as I can in the real map ;)

ah okey :) I want to try learn spriting myself, so my server could be a bit uniqe to ;p

oh, good :D
 
It's never too late to learn ;)
I have to relearn everything from scratch now, which kinda sucks...

EDIT:

I thought I should post this:

This is how much I'm aiming to be done with at first, as you can see it's just a third or fourth of the entire map, but it's still quite huge.
I'll try to update the minimap as I go along! :)

Ooh nice! I'll definetly use that at reference too. I have a couple of maps I found on google but the more material I have to go after the better :)

Although I already have the entire map shape done and all the old areas I made are still there. I just blocked them out on this minimap to show what I'm working on now ;)
 
One more boring picture but just to let you know the scale of the world vs. how much I'm doing right now. :)

I will probably update the first post too and make it more relevant to the whole project, but I can't today so I'll do it tomorrow!

Holy sh**t!
 
Good job!

I'll follow this project. It will be very fun to see how it ends up.
I might have some quests ideas for you when you get the map done.

Keep it up.
 
The smallest minimap you know ;)

It turned out I had even more limited time today than I thought, so I'll try to fix the first post as soon as I have time for it instead.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on this:

I've always thought that many of the monsters have looked out of place, so I recolored some of them to fit in better.
