Dedication:
This set, in it's entirety is dedicated to one specific individual (and his overlord). Known in the community as Old Mans Beard (OMB), this person has contributed many useful tools to the community at large, and to CTP in specifics. If you have not checked out the OldMansBeard Henchman system then you really should take a look, you can find a link for it at the bottom of this document. OMB created the first Generic Door hak released by the CTP, some really amazing work on those doors. They can be used in almost any tileset out in the Neverwinter community. OMB (AKA his supreme overlord) also created the Clean Models program , current version is 3.x CM3 is one amazing tool. It really cleans up about 95% of the bugs in a given mdl file. Bugs generated by human error or by import/export utility errors. OMB has kept the team alive in many other ways, and never ceases to give everything he has to help the team along. He created many tools that we use behind the scenes to test all of our tilesets, up to and including macros for ensuring that every tile has been painted and seen at least once in any test module. We have individual tools that are given to each team member when they log into a test module that enable us to report bugs in an efficient manner and with a unified set of descriptions and problem types. In Babylon, we had a problem with a specific set of terrain tiles. They needed special attention. OMB took those tiles and with his amazing Wizardry has created something that will totally blow your mind. Be sure to check out the 'Rooftops' terrain tiles. They have depth, they change between night and day, they have a sense of style that is totally unique in the NWN community. OMB has this saying �Miracles are accomplished daily, the impossible takes a bit longer.� (I know that quote is wrong OMB, forgive me!) and OMB is THE Miracle Worker on this team. When we run into a problem that we just can't seem to solve... OMB passes his wand over it and if fixing is possible, it happens. OMB, the CTP team really appreciates all the work you have done and will continue to do for us and for the community at large. May God bless you and keep you.
Description:
CTP's Babylon tileset is designed to give a builder a wide variety of choices when building a desert area in NWN. Everything from flat desert terrain, or cliffs, or chasms, and several types of water terrains/features. For those looking for wide open desert environments to a very large selection of building types and groups for the desert city enthusiast it is all possible with this tileset. Attention to detail was and remains our goal. These tiles, features, and groups have all been radically changed from their original incarnations OR they were created completely new from scratch by the CTP team for this project. We took over two years to get this set 'done'. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.

Numerous textures in this tileset were created by Simon O'Callaghan (www.simonoc.com) and by David Guerra (www.davegh.com). Although these textures were modified from their originals by CTP staff, it is only right to give credit where credit is due to these excellent texture artists who gave us the originals to work with. In both cases, it is permitted to use their work in games for non-commercial purposes only, so projects like the CTP seem to be exactly where they intended/hoped to see their work being utilised. Numerous free photo sites were also used; of all of these, Link in particular deserves an honourable mention.
CTP Team contributions:
Evil Castle, Good Castle 2 and Poor buidting terrains were largely handled by Estelindis, along with some truly amazing texture work throughout the set.

Although many bugs were provided by Bioware and various members of the community free of charge, we decided we didn't like them, so we squashed them wherever we saw them... Please excuse any bug juice you find remaining in the tileset. If you DO find a bug that we missed, please contact the CTP so that we can kill it as quickly as possible... they tend to multiply without regard for humans.
