[World Building][Development] Northpine Isle

[Aryzar]

Northpine Isle lies between the northeastern reach of Kalimdor and the Borean Tundra. Its climate is similar to the one in Grizzly Hills. The island is surrounded by floating Icebergs in the north. There is a mountain range that crosses the Isle from west to east, formed long ago during the great sundering when the blast pushed the what was left of Kalimdor's tectonic plate into Northrend's.
I am planning to make a starting zone for the furbolgs out of it this time.
Here's the top view of the island which spreads on aprximatley 3x3 adts, meaning 9 main adt's and three more corner adts:

Lore: Northpine, an island that stands in between Kalimdor and Northrend has not since recently been a battlefield between the wolvar and northpine furbolgs. But before that, both occupying races lived in harmony. That until, an evil wolvar shaman invoked a fiery spirit from the elemental plane to take revenge on his kin who exiled him for desertion during a naga assault on the Isle. The fiery spirit however was more interested in living in on Azeroth as a divined god. So he banished his caller and ordered the snowtree wolvar to bring him offerings, threatening the villagers that he will destroy Northpine if they do not obey. However, the wolvar barely had food for themselves and were forced to turn on the furbolgs and steal their supplies. Since then, the northpine tribe had slowly retreated into the southern mountain and have been reinforcing their fortress there.

Now i've started adding the detail doodads for the first phase. Gonna do the beaches a little later, gotta think about more.
However remember this is still in Alpha stage: P1St0

I have decided that i will make it furbolg AND goblin starting zone.

Duno why noggit doesn't display the correct shader in areas outside kalimdor but on the same wdt so it looks more nightly.

And here to get an idea of size and location:

This looks very nice. =]

[Aryzar]

Any Ideea where is (treepath if u kno) the yellow grassy-flowery texture used in Borean Tundra?

[LIMEEE]

Tileset\expansion02\grizzlyhills\gh_yellowflowerfield.blp - its not the borean tundra texture but its yellow.
Tileset\expansion02\boreantundra\bt_mossyb.blp - thats the one you want.

Oh, ok ty, found it myself using noggit-taliis combination

[LIMEEE]

Or just load the textures in Noggit and use Current texture and take the name.
Btw what Base texture did you use? the green one.
