GRAPHICAL HELP.

Ok, so here is the picutre that I may/may not need advice on:
So if there is anything I should add or divide than go ahead and throw it in. This is the camp site before the plot of the main game begins.

Those dark patches of grass don't make any sense whatsoever. It looks like maybe a road or a path? But why would the road be made of dark grass, and why would dark grass grow in strange lines? Also, it looks like the circle of logs forming a campfire is... ... across the 'stream' from the tents... so they set up tents, and then hop back and forth over the water to get to their campfire? I don't understand.
Also, "the fire's out." Fire*'*s. Like "The fire IS out."

You don't see the clear path to the tent around the tree, Haha? The grass thing and everything else makes sense when you find that all the worlds are f______ together because of a evil from the first game of the series of games I am making because they are a series.
I suppose I could make a more straight path to the tent. Bot other than those complaints, anything else I should add?
Then again, I suppose I could use a dirt road path.

So unless I played the first game, the map just looks stupid. Gotcha.
Also: it still makes no sense, with the campfire. Have you ever gone camping? Or seen a movie in which a group camped together, or the layout of a warcamp? The tents tend to be arranged around the fire, and also arranged in a more circular fashion so that there is a sort of 'wagon circle' feeling of security.
Not to mention bright, living wildflowers RIGHT NEXT TO the campfire; the campfire being built on top of green grass with no scorched earth nearby; etc.

It is bad form to post something, asking for help, then turn around and offer all sorts of excuses for something. Unless your game is supposed to be satirical towards poor use of the RTP, I suggest using it properly. There are tons of examples on how to use the 'Grassland' tileset appropriately.
But to quickly explain, there are tiles around the grass tile you have used that are meant to soften the edges and blend them into whatever they are sitting on top of (meant to be used on the second layer) .
In addition, you have a pink flower sitting in the 'stream'.
The tents should be closer to the fire, and not separated by a stream. Regardless of there being access or not, it's not logical.

No, the whole first game is explained in detail, and the same basic plot happens in the second anyway. Except this game is more detailed and has better pacing.
Well, they got kidnapped by some insane man who blasted the other 8 tents so I mean I can only
do so much with 2 tents.
I do agree I may need to move the flowers.
Yes, I mentioned moving the flowers. The stream made after the first cutscene. Unless I replace the stream next to the camp with a big crater.

How about scorch marks where the blasted tents used to be? Is that so much of a creative stretch..?
The tents blew up, I have to use either a crater, or have the water flow inside the blasted area. The RTP does not have a crater.
Unless you find something more appropiate.
What about 'dirt'? You said there was a dirt road tile. Maybe you can find a charset that is simply a black circle, and set it up as "transparent" events to make it look like a black shadow on the ground? Maybe you can use blotches of the 'dark grass', even if the grass would really have been destroyed, it makes more sense than absolutely nothing.
Stop coming up with lame excuses for having an overly-simple and poorly-constructed map
Edit: find your own appropriate resources

lame execuses? The magical insane guy balsted a large percentage of the camp. Have you played any video games where a guy blew something up?
I mean, I understand dirt, but the grassland dirts it not charred so it wouldn't work. I may be able to use the black circle idea, but I need something in the black circle.
Now, if I was not allowed to use one map at a time this would be so much easier.

I have a hard time taking this seriously.
You can add additional 'Autotiles' if you go to the Tileset tab of the Database. The Grasslands set doesn't use all of them, so you can add more without removing anything that pre-exists. There is lots there to choose from that resembles charred ground, or at least dirt.

Snide comments are not needed.
Well see? Now the problem is solved. Well, as much as it can for the time being.
I mean, I know people at this place are like Rpg Maker nerds, but at least add some realistic shit. I mean a guy blows up an area and it leaves scorch marks? I mean, that's like saying if a terrorist blew up a train, the train would only damge the seats.
But thanks for the eventual help.

Read FAQs and tutorials, browse websites, apply Google-Fu. All of these things will help you improve your designs, work around limitations, find your own goddamn resources, and generally relieve the need to refer to other people as snide when you shirk off their advice.
Also: Yes I've played games where someone blew something up and a circle of dark grass or dirt looks a hell of a lot more realistic as a 'crater' than absolutely nothing, you dig?

i didn't put it in because I didn't have the resources to make the crater, so stop with your absolutely nothing. A lot of you people have this strange habit of not asking any questions and assuming shit. I took all of your stupid ass advice EXCEPT that one part because I needed it to be realistic.
Now stop acting like you're high and mighty please.

Your current map is like a terorrist blowing up a train and doing absolutely no damage to it

That's a great way to inspire people to want to help you and definitely not alienate yourself and your game from the community
I see you are just one of those people that likes to start fights, so talk to yourself.
Afraid to dissapoint you, but not everyone that is here are complete jerks that try to start fights. Like I said talk to yourself.

This is lol. Raekwon is either an amazing troll or just a terribly confused person.
You got your help, Raekwon. So unless you intend to post an updated picture with the changes and ask if it looks better, you may as well just get on with whatever it was you were doing lol.

If you all let me do this than I can actually do it.
