Lava Tiles

These look really awesome. There's not much else to say about it. Could be used for a secret volcano layer or just even used as a moat for a bad guy's castle or something.

A solid 8.5

I like these tiles. Especially the crack.bmp It is a shame there is no version of that which blends with the firey stuff.

Yes it's odd to have grass next to lava without any blackend/burnt area. That's way the crack stuff could be really good if the author did a crack to firey lave version and a crack to grass or rock version.

No real instructions on how to use these for the complete newbies either.

But 8 out of 10 all up.

Lava tiles is a great idea, but it didnt fit very well when i tried to make rivers of lava, and I had to set the hardness of it for myself, which took a long time. But since im pretty good with making tiles myself, i am able to make it fit better and cleaner, but still- this should have been done before i downloaded it. Even though it wasnt as good as i thought, it was still a great effort, and a great idea, so i still loved, and im using it in my own dmod right now-

This file consists of three .bmp files; one is only red-hot lava (copy of ts3x.bmp), one is somewhat solid lava (crack.bmp), and the other one is a tile of lava and grass (ts17.bmp).
The red hot lava is used for the lava and grass tile, and looks indeed like the molten rock and liquid which flows from a volcano.

The somewhat solid lava looks very realistic, and I think it is a shame this one was not used to create another nice looking tile.

The combined lava and grass is, as WC says, not very realistic. But, as AmoebaLord says, Seth has done the same thing with fire and grass, and nobody has ever complained about that.

I think this tile is a very nice add-on and would make a very good sinister area in a D-mod.

While this tiles set is a good idea, it was badly thought out. Has anyone ever seen lava sitting next to grass? No, and why? because lava is very hot and would burn the poor grass. However, the graphics in this pack is nice, and it is a pretty good idea (I at least think someone could find a use for this), but maybe it should have some kind of border seperating the grass from the lava.

Well, I guess I'll review my own tiles. These lava tiles can be good for diferent things. I should've connected it to Dakland tile, but if Seth can have fire connected to grass, I sure I can too. I think these are pretty well made, and I would reccomend them to you if your DMOD has a land in a subterrian/hellish climate. Overall, I could've improved it, but I think 8.0 is fair.
