So essentially, we can still make themed holds and such because of the decorating elements. There will in fact be grass tiles, that I'm essentially sure of, so we can have outdoors stuff, and indoors stuff, and underground stuff, and crypty stuff(possibly). The other 2 styles will simply open up a much wider range of possibility. For instance, the iceworks will probably allow you to make icy levels, like the "ice" style. That's my favorite style, personally.

This is something that I've been wondering how people would take.

Yes, there are only three styles. There are no plans to add more. However, as has been mentioned, within each style there will be a fair amount of variation, and you should be able to get tonnes of distinctive looking rooms with what we provide.

Again, what we're doing with the music will also make rooms stand out a bit more - to recap, the music changes depending on whether the room has lots of monsters or only a few, or it's clear.

Matt

Does it take Roach Queens into account?

Back on topic, I've found that its possible to fool someone with spiders outside the palace setting. You take a level with a diffferent lightblue tileset, such as ice setting, and put one or two there. Since theyre not expecting it, you'll kill about 95% of your players the first time they enter the room. Of course it only works once in a hold, and you must put it within 5 steps of entering the room to avoid frustrating them by making them redo something, but I've even forgotten about them myself on my own level.

Really, was so much ranting needed, there IS a extremely simple way to make spiders mastercloakers:

All I did was to completely erase them but the red eyes, works like a charm in all sets, and they get specially tricky on the purple-floored lava set :yes
So you see, it is extremely simple, no coding, no additional images of them, however they are master cloakers and might need to be renamed to chamaleons now ;)
EDIT: Forgot to apologise by bumping such an old thread

I don't know why you chose to ressurect a very old thread, but the point is moot anyway, at least for JtRH - spiders work very different in JtRH.
