"Rich" tileset

Post » Thu Aug 22, 2013 6:34 am

This is an observation, a suggestion, and a request, unless what I'm looking for actually exists. In which case, please point me to it.

I have been irritated for years that the only real difference between the rich and common interior tilesets is that the walls for the rich are wood paneled and the walls for the common are stucco.

It is my belief the common baseboard, for instance, would be the existing texture, but it would not be carved, the same with common wooden pillars. The baseboards for the rich tileset, would be carved, but would be of a nicer, less weathered wood. Possibly even polished, if one assumes slaves and servants do more than stand around in fields and cages. Floors, in particular, show no difference whatsoever.

If you want to see what I mean, open up a common center and a rich center. Even though there is a single different texture, they still look exactly the same.

I have a fair working knowledge of Nifskope and the CS, but GIMP, Blender, and certainly photoshop are beyond me. If there is a rich tileset out there that even just uses a less worn, gray wood, I would be eternally grateful if someone would point me to it. If not, is there anyone else, with the skills to actually fix it, interested in doing so?

Since there are a lot of complete change replacement tilesets, I'd prefer to see one that is true to the original, just with the subtle changes I mentioned above.

I know what you're saying now that you mention it. It would make a bit more sense to have a little bit more difference between the two.

Yep, a difference would be nice.

I always RolePlayed it, thus:

Imperial Depot imported the cheapest, factory-seconds trim they could. Marked them as two grades to up the profit margin, although both Common and Rich orders were filled from the same rack in the back.
