EPTNow I've been wondering for a long time why Blizzard took the lazier route and did lots of recolors with their cliffs and textures rather than making unique environments per map (perhaps something they can change going into LotV, or the future of sc2?). Perhaps they expected us as modders/map makers to take into our own hands the creation of cliffs and textures.
Anyway, so I think we should ourselves a favor and make a staple thread of tilesets that could be used for people who want to recreate Brood War tilesets for their maps, whatever they may be.
I do believe Bridgehead is a closed map, as I couldn't open (or even find) it in the editor, so if Semmo could reply with the tileset, it would be very grateful.
I took the liberty of attempting to create a Twilight tileset, and so far I have this:
{Cliffs}
Xil Mandmade Cliffs
Shakuras Organic Cliffs
{Textures}
Ulaan Stone (Low Ground)
Kaldir Ice Dark (Medium Ground)
Kaldir ice Light (High Ground)
Tarsonis Rubble (1*)
Valhalla Cracked Dirt (2*)
Zhakul'Das Tiles
Shakuras Rock
* 1 and 2 create the old ruined bricks-look.
{Lighting}:
Ice World or any lighting that retains the blue color, while keeping the rock white will work.
{Water}
Shakuras Water

For the manmade cliffs I use Protoss Base Lights.
This is as close as I could get to twilight without making my own tilesets (The bricks for example aren't green enough).
Feel free to share your discoveries/ideas. When I make a map with this tileset I'll definitely post a screenshot of it, unless someone finds better texture combinations.
