How do you pick a different tile for a guy in a room, like ama or merchant?

[Mitchfork]

Erm... you select them in the "Guys" list?

Go to Data>Guy and select the person

[Phoenix Fable]

no i mean how do you change the tiles for the people?

[Sharon Daniel]

Go to "Quest >Graphics>Tiles" and replace these guys:

Ok thanks, but now the guys are showing up in weird colors... what now?

[Mitchfork]

Abei and Ama use cSet 8, and the Merchant uses the Link palette (a good rule of thumb is to use CSet 6)

At least, I think that's correct.

Oh! You' don't know about CSets!

Try to follow along here. Okay, basically, ZC is limited to 256 colors. Only 192 of these are usable to create graphics. Still with me? Good. Here's where it gets tricky.

The main palette (p-a-l-e-t-t-e) contains all 192 of these colors. These 192 colors are divided into 12 seperate CSets (short for Color Sets), each of shich contain 16 colors. Recap: There are 12 CSets. They each contain 16 colors.

You can press the + and - keys on the numberpad (not the ones beside Backspace) to switch through CSets. Abei and Ama use CSet 8, while the Merchant uses the Link palette, which I won't go into. Basically, just use CSet 6.

In summary: There are 12 CSets. Press + and - to switch through them. There is a small number on the screen that tells you shich CSet you're in. Experiment, and you'll get it. I promise.

Nah i knew about csets, but with the fact that my computer crashed resulting in losing all my data and a computer for a half a year, it took me a minute to understand it again . But Thanks.
