I made and/or modified more than half of this chipset to make it ultimate!
Here it is.

It's for RM2K3 and under only, but feel free to rip the stuff off of it for use in XP.

Not to be a bad guy or something but it kinda looks like Inquistitor thingy's World Map tileset but then with tons of things removed. Or it may be just me...

That world map is one of the better ones on RPG Maker 2000/2003.  Inquistitor did not make a world map for RPG Maker 2000/2003, his are for XP.

I am not sure, but I think that world map is ripped from a game.  Maybe Chrono Trigger?

But anyway....

This one that you posted here, it appears to be colored and indexed poorly, did you use MS Paint to save it?

Ugh. Not to be ugly or anything- but that is horribly indexed and modified. Parts of it are so horribly scrunched together that you can't even use it... they merge together and stuff. I have the previous version, and I have to admit- it is a great world map- but this version is pretty horrible.

But if it wasn't so scrunched and badly indexed- it would be a great world map.

As for the style- it isn't chrono trigger, XD, that is for sure. I think it is custom made...but I am not sure. So don't quote me on that, XD.

Well I think it's pretty good...
And what do you guys mean about indexing?
And what does MSPaint have to do with it?

Poe, I should delete that as that doesn't even answer his question and is just flaming a program. I'll warn you though that just because I like you doesn't mean I won't take action against you if you make more spam and pointless posts that don't help at all. Good day sir.

I am sorry- I think I was being kinda mean spirited with my last post. I wasn't in the greatest of all moods, so I hope I didn't offend you >.< .

But anyway, indexing is when you change the color depth of a resource to be use of in Rm2k/3.  You can do this in MSpaint by saving it as a 256 color bmp. , but that is usually a bad idea. So you can use multiple other softwares (such as Ifranview) to change it to a usable depth without having to worry about horrible quality changes.

But yah.

The more that I look at the chip set, the more I realize it isn't actually that bad. It could probably easilly be used. The towns just look kinda funky.

Well, sorry for being kinda harsh earlier...
