Re: Free GURPS 3D Dungeons

Yeah thats a great site. I've downloaded all the BSG stuff but have not yet built any.

Started on the Textures

Just to let you all know I have been still working on this project.

Here is what I'm proposing as the base texture (without dirt, grunge, slime, vines, etc.)

Let me know what you think of the texture arrangement.

Looks good to me. You might go slightly lighter on the stonework color (for higher contrast with the mortar and lines between blocks); this version looks like it might get a bit muddy on less than stellar printers.

Look at this picture here. The small curved wall, takes up one hex, works fine. But doing a larger curved wall just does not look right. Now I could do it with a perfect curve, but it would not leave unobstructed hexes to move figures on. In the picture I settled for an angled version. But even that does not look right.

If you have a suggestion I would love to hear it.

I could also do "Thin" walls where its just a single pieces of thick card but it just does not look right for a dungeon. I like doing thin walls for buildings, just not dungeons.

Why not do a curved wall that follows more or less the same path of the angled version? I don't see the obstruction.

Also, in GURPS you don't need a whole hex to put a figure on it, but I see that preserving this limitation will make your tiles more generic and useful.

About the thin walls, and maybe the solution for the curve problem, why put all your walls crossing the middle of your hex? why not this:

Your wall:
-@@
WWW
-@@

Alternative wall:
-@@
@@@
-WW

Placement:
-@@------@@
@@@----@@@
-WW-WW-WW
-----@@@
------@@

I hope the fonts in your browser use the same spacing than in mine, so you can get a sense os what I'm talking about...

BTW, your links are going to the machwarrior section of your gallery, I had to dig a little to find the hex tiles prototipes.
