Tilesets for the New Guinea Terrain?

[Spudknocker]

Hey all!  I have been messing around with wrenches New Guinea terrain...Im not a huge fan of the Stock TW Vietnam tiles so ive been trying to find a tileset that works...but theres always a hole in the tiles around airbases and small cities with a harbor... Ive tried Stary's Solomons and Green Hell 3 tiles to no avail any ideas?

Try Stary's HR Darwin tiles.

please, do NOT fuck with my terrains

 

btw, that tileset is a GreenHell, just don't remember which one.

the 'holes' you describe are because I use custom made "specials"

No offense Intended Wrench...  Maybe I did something wrong installing the terrain cause it looked to my untrained eye to be the stock TW vietnam tilesets

[Wrench]

it's a GH *something*. Maybe just plane 3.0. Yes, it's obviously a VN tile set -- the tile names give that away right off.

 

you should have seen the original set -- even worse, just awfull!!

 

the problem is, there exists NO tile set by anyone that can accurately represent the nightmare forests of the SoWePac*. I know this from first hand stories from relatives and people that were there during the war (my main auto instructor at school was Pappy Gunn's mechanic in PNG, and Joe told us of that horrid jungle, with all it's ills. My Dad was in the Philipines in 44/45)

 

The only things that come close would be the MS CFS series, and even that ain't perfect!

 

*or most anywhere for that matter -- take Spain/Portugal at one end of the Med, and Greece/Turkey at the other for examples; the Germany tiles can't represent that properly at all. The closest would be the Israel set, and even those aren't perfect.

 

We make due with the "best we have"

 

Part of my (over)reacting is I've had my work, -well let's just call it what it is- stolen/pirated/misused by "other parties".  I put hundreds of hours into the research* to try and get it as close to Reality ™ as possible. Within the (very) confined limits of the game and terrain engines.

 

So, yeah, I'm a bit overprotective.

 

*hundreds of megs of period maps/charts -real ww2 stuff!

Oh i see Im just using it for personal Use is all... It would just be awesome of Stary's  green hell 3.5 tiles would work on your terrains that would make your amazing terrains that much better!  I just like all the awesome vivid colors in GH3.5 

I dont mean to tell you how to do your work because I think its fantastic!  But making the terrain except other tilesets would make them that much better!

I agree, the original TW tile sets are rather lack lustre. For example, the ODS terrain with the new satellite image based tile set by JSF_Aggie is the dog's bollocks!
