I downloaded a groundcover tileset:

Has anyone had any sort of experience loading these graphics into GE as a tileset?

Do you meen like transforme it so it can fit in GE?? If so I can do it.

I got it to work.

Yes.

I'm not sure how to cut it up.

[jazz_e_bob]

I got it to work.

Well done. Now tell me how you did it!

A small tutorial on how its done would be more beneficial than "I Did it"

Hope this is what you were talking about. I made a new actor put the animation on it and raised the horizontal and vertical frame till it was a tile.

[jazz_e_bob]

Cheers. I'll give it a try!

[jj2197]

Ok.

[jazz_e_bob]

It kinda works. Need demo to fully understand.



Yes - Making games == complex.

There is no "easy" way to do it really....

[jj2197]

What do you mean by kinda.

[jazz_e_bob]

Well, the tiles don't match nicely.

What settings did you use for Horizontal and Verticle frames?

Did you need to edit the image first?

[jj2197]

I did 10 and 20. but the light blue color still shows up on some of the tiles.

[jazz_e_bob]

OK.

I have found that Reiners tilesets come in single bitmaps where some tiles are bigger or shaped differently from others.

You need to break the bitmaps down into size groups and add them as animations separately.

I have made an example using the following ground cover tileset:

If you analyse the image, you can easily see that there are 8 horizontal sprites. So that's why I put 8 for horizontal frames. As for the vertical ones, it's very difficult to say. But I chose 16 for vertical frames. Don't ask me why Maybe that needs more observation

Then on CreateActor > Script :

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);

animpos = ( the position you want from the tile ) // say 6 which corresponds to the upper Blue square sprite. Remember, first anim position starts at animpos=0)


The only problem is that when converting the actor to tiles, you loose you animpos condition. Tha animation goes back to 0

I'm gonna make some research on that kind of sprites ...
See you !
