Want to do something useful for the BoA community? Here is your chance!

Currently there are several wallsets that come with Blades of Avernum. Unfortunately, most of these are fairly incomplete. Some of them lack windows and portculli. Others do not even have doors.

This severely limits the Blades designing community in terms of the wallsets for various towns. The solution should be obvious: we should complete the wallsets!

So I have decided to make another graphics competiton completely devoted to wallsets. The focus will be on completing the default wallsets; however, any original wallsets are welcome as well.

Right now this competition is in preliminary stages and announcements including specific rules will follow pending interest. So right now, I would like to know, is there interest in such a project?

I'd certainly be interested in using the results; I don't know how well I'd be able to participate.

I think you should probably have people claim individual wallsets, so you don't end up with, like, ten different copies of one completed wallset.

well, I have no idea how well I woudl do in such a competition, or how well i woudl do in makign walls- it coudl be that I end up sucking mightyll at it, give up, never to attempt walls again. then again, I could rule it.

I guess I'd give it a try- people seem to be pleased enough with my recent PC, and I;d liek to give to the community some.

It's better to have 10 copies of a completed wallset than none at all. Let the individual designer pick which one to use.

I'm thinking of setting categories as:

13 for each incomplete wallset.
6 for improvements on the existing completed wallsets.
1 category for original wallsets.

Also, we should have a category for cliffs for each of the wallsets.

Good idea. Plus I've been working on walls, lately. :P
Would walls or cliffs imported from BoE do, too?

Well, I built a few walls more, but the conversion to GIF ruined most of them.
Following the advice given at The Lyceum boards, I've converted some of these to PNG format. Can anyone tell me if these work? Both to PC and MAC users?

They work for me on my Mac. I'm using Safari. It's not the image format, it's if the browser supports the image format. In the case of PNG, all new versions of popular browers should do just fine.

Of course :D
But by now I've completed only five wallsets. The "variations" under these are just, well, that, variations combining a wall background with a different wall's shape. :cool:
