i was bored, so i made this tileset. it resembles the Winter tileset (what i based it off of), but there is a feel of festive-ness to it.
It would look better if i could get my hands on new models (like presents or a statue of Santa)

this is my first tileset, and i hope you like it
-
No pic? get one plz.

not the greatest quality, but good enough for the upcoming holidays!
-
Candy canes! Change the dead body objects into candycanes, gold boulders into presents, and the statues into huge nutcracker guard things.
-
i would, but i cant model...so for any modelers who are bored, can you please make me some Christmasy stuff?
-
I'm bored. I'll model a candy cane, and some presents!
I'll try to texture these, although I've never successfully textured..........anything.
-
PSsh dead bodies fit right into chirstmas. (A christmas faction would be good with this XD)
-
the gold should be red presents with gold/yellow bows and stone should be blue presents with green bows...
-
Zoythrus, I think I'll only try to texture the Candy Cane.
I'll also export itto G3D so you can just stick it right in.
-
thank you archmage!
-
Aww crap, I don't know if I can texture the Candy Cane, although I will try!
-
It might be easier to texture it if you unwrap it as a rectangle, and then bend the model into the shape you want.
-
God, texturing seems to be a pain in the ass, is there any way that I can just color the model, and then save that as a .tga or something, if not, then I will try your unwrapping idea...
-
Actually I'm just going to make the model, someone else can texture them, since they will be very low poly they shouldn't be anything to an experienced texturer.

Like me! Ill texture it, and Ill make a pile of presents.
-
Hey Elim, I just made some very low-poly ones, go ahead and bump the polys up a little(your choice), and texture them.
-
Hmm, I must admit, this could use a bit more work (no offense). Firstly, dead bodies are done in the TECH TREE, not the tileset and no body is going to want to modify that (pain in the ass to change back). Same thing for resources like gold and stone. So what do you plan to do with those models? Statues should be fun though! We can have a nativity scene and a santa, and so on...
Trees should be done with modified evergreen trees instead, or at least make the lights look more realistic. Also, a 'glow' effect to the lights will go a long way. You can make the candy cane's the small stones. Perhaps you can think of other ways to fit the stuff in well.
-
Uv mapping is easy if you want anyone can pm me a building or tree and uvmap it. I can only map my own human models
-
Omega, keep in mind, that i am a horrible texturer, so that's why the lights look cheesy. and i used the winter forest trees because they have snow on them...
and why cant the gold and stone have different models? the Moon tileset messed with the trees...
-
Looks good! I look forward to playig with the finished tileset
-
I made an update to two of the tree textures.

As you can see in the pic, I added yellow and gave decorations a simple glow.
-
DANG!! you guys get things done quick
-
The glow is nice, but the lights are pretty huge. Could you make them smaller?
-

I think they are large, but not too big.
They are actually the same size as the original lights, you're just seeing the strong glow around the light as part of the light. Look at the texture, maybe that will help you see what I'm talking about.
-
The original lights were too big too!
-
Oh, well I'll let Zoythrus handle that, I'm a bit busy.
-
Ok here (http://www.soft-haus.com/jacob/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/c_candy.7z) is the download for a pile of presents and a candy cane (All textured.)
-
Candy Cane: The texture needs to be improved, have a fade effect between the red and white, and more importantly, the stripes are diagonal, haven't you seen a candy cane...
-
i think the lights are just fine! they look good at that size
-
ok re download it I made the stripes diagonal and a fade effect between the red and white.
-
I'm going to make another update to this tileset if nobody minds.
Adding in Elims models, after I edit his Candy Cane a little bit. And a few other things.
Edit: Zoythrus, please change the link on your first post to point to the newest version.
-
i am waiting for everything before i make a "newer version," i hope you dont mind
-
I am making new versions.
-
ok then...
if you take this over (please do, you seem to be more on top of things than i am), please say it was my idea (it's all that i ask...)
-
No you keep this, just come up with some ideas.
I'll do the work if you want, you just keep the first post updated, k.
-
ok then, the next time someone gives me something else to work with, ill re-upload it. OK?
-
A new christmas update is available!
ENJOY!!!

Use the winter tileset instead of winter forest since winter has evergreens
-
Yeah, I know, I'm not going to put that much work into this, I've already thought about switching to Winter, but I put a bit of work into those textures.
Lets just stay with this unless someone is willing to kinda morph this tileset.
-
Couldn't you just make the evergreen models re-skinned like you did with the regular trees, and then add them as one of the models in the christmas set? No need to start over from scratch with the other tileset altogether, just use what you need.
-
Why don't you do that, your not working on any mods, are you?
-
Mods no, 2 jobs (65 combined hours per week) yes. I get on the forums from my phone, not even a computer really.
In fact Glest isn't even installed right now. I had uninstalled it for more space a while back since I wasn't actively modding. Still got the installs...
Maybe another time.
-
We need this to be updated a bit, and I'm awfully busy, can't someone update this besides me!
-
Problem?
-
tomorrow is Christmas....woo!
-
Archmage, any chance that this will be fully finished?
-
I'll redo the whole fricken thing for next Christmas! 8)
When? I dunno......
-
why are you making a Christmas tileset It is almost spring! :O
-
Because Christmas happen once every year, it's going to happen thousands more times, I'd obviously release the tileset around Christmas-time. ::)
-

When? I dunno......
I say November or early December. :|
It's pretty good already...I guess it could improve, but everything related to Glest could also improve too... :| ::)
then again nothing is perfect. :)
-
Thee shall shall see when...........I dunno....sometime. :P
-
hey, last time i heard, Archmage was continuing the idea i had for a Christmas tileset. Well, since Christmas is right around the corner, i say that Archmage should revive it and finish it! who's with me?!
-
Shhh, no telling, hes maybe waiting for a special release 24th ;)
-
I regret to inform you all that unless a beautiful girl askes me to finish it then I won't. :|
-

Oh goodie!

:cheesy:
I don't know, I might finish it I might not, I'm a busy kid. :P
-
well, arch, we've asked nicely. :angel:
could you please get off your butt and improve this awesome tileset? :angel:
-
...We're not getting anywhere with this...
Also, did we really need a new thread for this? You could have just edited the main topic... :| I would merge them now, but this thread is kinda OT...hmm...that's ironic.
-
I like the tileset at the first but it would be cool to see the Santa statues' and the gold/stone to presents and i would think it possible because the moon had funky trees.
and also if someone could help me with it i would like to make a Christmas faction for next year if your interested. :)
-
Gold could be gethered from presents halfway opened, with gold in them.
(http://static2.bigstockphoto.com/thumbs/8/9/3/large2/3985045.jpg)
like this, but filled with gold.
-
yes that is kinda what i thought would work so you would have the gold/stone there but in the present.
(i think red for gold w/a gold bow and blue for stone with a silver bow :D)
-

(i think red for gold w/a gold bow and blue for stone with a silver bow :D)
that is exactly how i imagined it when i thought up the idea! :O
-
COOL!!!!! i thought from how i read it it was closed boxes and diff colors and if someone could get me the tools i could try to help make the boxes.
(the reason i thought of red and blue is it is the first 2 colors in Glest :))
-
Er, again, my reply to when that was first thought of in this very thread:
You cannot change resources in the tileset!
Resources are a techtree object, since every techtree uses its own resources. Thus, having a tileset to change the resources is not possible.
-
ok then how about someone tell me how to change the g3d and i will fix it so there is a megapack that has the stone and gold with presents on them. >:(
(P.S. I WANT PRESENT ON THE GOLD/STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
-
well, if the presents are still wrapped (as in, not open), then they can be whatever we want them to be. so they can be gold and stone, or whatever the objects are...
-
ok then how about someone tell me how to change the g3d and i will fix it so there is a megapack that has the stone and gold with presents on them. >:(
(P.S. I WANT PRESENT ON THE GOLD/STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
You'd have to replace gold.g3d and stone.g3d in their respective folders in the resources folder of the megapack. But, that's a fairly permanent change, and means all megaglest factions will see those presents on any map and any tileset. Also, I think your "!" key is stuck...
-
that's why this should be built for GAE, they have a ticket for this sort of thing.
-
If so, too bad...no Christmas-ish games for MG then... :/
But anyways, it doesn't look like Archmage is going to work on this tileset again...
-
Also, I think your "!" key is stuck...
yes it was stuck and if someone will tell me how to change the g3d file i have an idea that might work but i am not telling what it is untell i ave done it and been successful.
-
make blend file and convert to g3d file.
I want this for MG on MP! :(
-
But anyways, it doesn't look like Archmage is going to work on this tileset again...
Don't get too convinced of that, Santa has a weird way of surprising people. :P
-
make blend file and convert to g3d file.
how do i make it a blend file?
these were my basic ideas
