Okay, check out what I did HERE

I'd like to put the credit of the person(s) beside the name of the tiles, aside from Tobias', are the others a collaboration of Nov & Scott? or individual... let me know and I'll update it the listing!

oh, one other thing, if someone could please test the zip file using WINZIP and the unzipper built into Windows/Mac, I'd appreciate u letting me know if it works okay. I use Winrar to compress it and most ppl don't have that.

The way the credit is given now looks right to me. The scoring track was a collaboration because I did a bunch of initial graphics work. Any custom tiles, I would probably never be contributing anything more than inspiration. I leave the Photoshop work to the qualified people like Novelty. I do better with pencil and paper.

Actually I made all the tiles.  Tobias only gave inspiration for the two roundabout tiles.  *shrug*

Hmm... is there such a word as "inspirations"?

Also, my mistake for not including it, but it's missing Rivers4 expansion tiles.

Thanks for all the work Gantry.  It's nice to see all the tiles I've made so far in one go on one page!

So yesterday I go to make the edit to the zip file, and my eval copy of SmartFTP "expired" and I had to download a new version. I download it, but whenever I try to run the installer, nothing happens except a splash screen that says it only works for 2 days at a time.  Bang head

I switched away from my old FTP software because it didn't work very well,  smartftp is dumbftp... gah.  Gotta head out for the day, will have to upload it using the good old command line when I get back home 2nite.  Angry

Apparently "inspiration" can be pluralized, but it sounded awkward so I changed it.  Smiley

I switched to FileZilla after getting frustrated with SmartFTP. WinSCP is also supposed to be good.

I switched to FileZilla after getting frustrated with SmartFTP. WinSCP is also supposed to be good.

for many years I used ws_ftp, but it didn't meet some obscure technical requirement one time so I switched to filezilla.  Filezilla had its own minor transmission bugs, plus i hated the interface (sad, because I love open source). The I switched to SmartFTP a little over a year ago and have been more or less happy with it, although now their trial license is getting so short you have to reinstall it far too often.

Might try WinSCP or NCH's FTP. NCH is a very interesting Aussie company that makes a lot of freeware, and an interesting revenue model. The CC site administration module has an http upload feature so I can use that in the meantime. Sorry didn't mean to take the thread off-topic! The download has been updated to v02 which includes the missing rivers!

Novelty, I have some comments about your custom tiles:

First though, I would like to thank you for them since after the
Graf, König und Konsorten I have a second edition of the City of Carcassonne
that I don't need, and the King & Scout also have 5 tiles I don't need.

But, how come almost all custom tiles are river tiles (23 out of 29).
Isn't there enough river tiles already, especially now when many will be
getting a second edition of River II because of Graf, König und Konsorten.

Why aren't the tiles in the correct size (45x45 mm)? Every one that downloads
them will now sit for an hour or so to change them into the correct size.
Wouldn't it be possible to have them accessible in the correct size directly.

And I really don't see the point with a forest.
Do you know of any other site that has GOOD additional tiles for free download ?

Cheers

There are mostly river tiles because I was making them for my variant Row, row, row you meeple in a boat which needed a lot more river tiles than there are currently.  The forest tiles are for Scott.  I have no idea why they don't print out in the actual size for you, but the tiles I print out are actual size for me (but then again, I have the original images... I wonder if Gantry did anything to the images to get them zipped and ready for downloading...).  I was going to pdf the files (one for row, one for forest, one for others) once I have all the tiles for any one variant expansion ready, but that's not gonna happen for a while yet.

As Tobias said, you are free to use or disregard them if you wish.  Or you can also request your own custom tiles in this thread.  If you want to download other tiles, you can try www.carcassonne-welt.de or whatever is the german equivalent of this site.

Edit: I see now that the forest images are wrongly sized.  My mistake.  I'll have to correct it sometime...

I wanted forests as a landscape feature because they exist in the real world, and they help to break up mega farms.
