I intend to set up an ambush and need a road in a forest setting.
Dorpond did a nice jungle one a while ago, but it had a dragin in the middle (and palm trees are not the usual vegetation in my campaign).
Thelevitator did a great forest campaign (thanks a million for it, I will use and reuse it again, it it the kind of map that can be a lifesaver) but it has no road on it and I'm not too good at stamping (takes me ages to find the images to stamp and when I put it on a map, it looks more like the frankeinstein monster than one of dorpond's creations).
Thanks in advance if you can find something for me.
(and I think it would be VERY useful to have a place where all generic maps could be stored and used at a moment's notice instead of having to go through the functional but not too user-friendly gallery)
Just stamp down your own trees
Control C & Control V are your friends - just select a bunch of them that you dropped and paste a bunch of them at a time.
Okay, I cobbled one together. I've uploaded it as a jpg, rather than a campaign file as you mentioned that you didn't like using stamps. It's tile-able too (though there are a few defects - it's my first attempt at making tiles), however it's 1000x1000 so should be easily big enough for a decent encounter all on its own.
The trees and textures are all from rpgmapshare and I think most of them are directly from SteelRat himself.
<edit> Rotated and recoloured some of the trees to deal with blatant repetition.

Got bored at work so I fixed the trees and a few of the tiling defects. Shout if people want anything else changed (I found some horrible bugs in my code and I'm looking for excuses to avoid fixing them).
I will defnately use this during game. It is nice to have variety when it comes to stuff like this. I don't want to bore the players will my same road all the time
a lot of these look like my older trees. I have newer ones with separate shadow objects, which makes it easy to do tree shadows right within MT. Just browse through here: http://rpgmapshare.com/index.php?q=gall ... temId=2414
As trevor mentioned, the forest really needs some shadows and the flat looking trees were bugging me so I decided to put in a little more effort. Here's the result.
I've been having fun with bump maps in gimp. They are really handy.
