RPG Maker XP Map Tutorial 1: Forest

    Hello guys, in this tutorial i wanna show you how to make a good map for RPG maker XP. And this time, I will tell you how to make a map using forest tileset. 
     
    in this tutorial, you'll learn:

•  Guide how to make effective map
•  How to shape a map with boundaries
•  How to make a good forest transition
•  How to place object effectively

   For starters, allow me to say that there are some things that make people often say that a map is good or not. a good mapper usually already know it all (out of nowhere?) and he was able to make it so the map is made ​​to cover all the flaws that usually makes people judge the ugly map.
  
 Some of them are :

• Do not make the perfect box-shaped map. why? because the square map was boring . even if the RPG maker XP only provides a template box, it will not stop an experienced mapper to give depth maps according to their creations.
• Create a map with a lot of empty space is left will make the map feel lonely and boring (of course exceptions to the desert or grassland, but, this time we talk about forest)
• Symmetrical map was not good. it will probably look more presentable. however, if you ever see the forest for the trees are symmetrical to each other?
• Boundary. Boundary is necessary to limit the players who will move out of bounds. Just imagine if there was a map that makes the player stops instantly. there is no such thing in this world, right?

 Part 1:   Making a Normal Forest

  For the beginning, we will try to make a map like this:

  Ok! 1st step, make a land.
