I really like how the T2A swamp looks, it just says swamp to me as where the other swamp regions just say "slimy grass"

I was wondering if anyone has ever recreated this without directly copying it, and if so, how you did it.

I spent a lot of time trying to do that very thing awhile back (probly a year or more ago ) and this is what I ended up with..

Now that I look around, I know I can do better.

all I see are little white boxes with red x's in them? pasting the image location in my browser manually didn't return an image either.

Yeah, that's a lot like my most recent attempt, only mine involves adding jungle terrain here and there at +10 on the z axis

What's so hard about it? I've had the scripts out for that for a while.

What scripts, SC? and what do you think we are talking about? A standard swamp painted with just a swamp color is boring, and somewhat ugly. Just swamp tiles, and some trees.. Thats what we were refering to.. how to improve it.

What I've called "moss" and Ry has called "rough grass". To make a swamp the same as the OSI map, along with a better item placer script that puts down the cypress trees, lily pads, animated tiles, etc.

the moss, or rough grass you see there is not static tiles..

its just grass lines drawn in with the swamp.

prety easy to do.. and requires no mods to standard dragon scripts etc.

Found out placing small mountains in the swamp area looks pretty nice too (surrounded by a 1 tile range of grass ofcourse). Just thought Id mention it O.O;
