HotU tilesets:

Quote: I like the new , small, high quality, tileset.

Yes, the new tilesets, especially the drow tileset, have an incredible level of detail, the artists really put them to a new level. The idea was to have the tilesets build to fit our campaign and I guess that worked out pretty well. Example: we needed a well room - we got it made for the campaign and if you see the reaction to most people when they see the wellroom scene, you know that's the way to go. You will also find that using different lighting and skyboxes can help a lot to make the tilesets look cool for different settings ... The underdark tileset with a clear skybox can make a very impressive mountain terrain tileset, etc.

Use Magic Device:

You don't need to recompile any spells:

I would rather modify x2_pc_umd. It is the use magic device check that is called from x2_inc_spellhook. You can run everything you would change in this file and it would take effect for all spells, without requiring you to recompile all spells.
