will do. thanks joe. btw, you have 666 posts. i feel like i'm taking advice from the devil. =P

[Feenicks]

You can do dungeon door sets with walls that are one combo wide fine, if you look on my FFA tileset, it's no more difficult than with two combo walls really.

Not North/South ones, unless you're wanting non-symmetrical dungeon doors. Bombable walls would look odd as well.
Which is why I've PM'd Akkabus North/South doors (nothing more than a simple edit, though...) to use.

Haha, I just noticed that


And I beg to differ Pheonix

That screen's not the best one to show the door combo sets, but I just checked my photobucket, and then realised I have really open, cave like dungeons in my FFA game.

Although, that one does cheat really because it uses 8-pixel walls rather than 16, so yeah, you couldn't have 16 pixel walls for north/south door combo sets without using freeform dungeons.

Have you used any of these?

sort of, zemious. i try to look at the sprite sheets periodically to see what i've missed. =P

hey, is there an easy way to rip sprites from sites like tsr and vgmaps? because i find myself ripping them one at a time, and it's so time-consuming.

Unless you're making them your self inside of the sprite editor within ZQuest, you have to rip them. :/

[Joe123]

Leech will rip a whole sheet of tiles, but you have to set it up to be twenty 16x16 tiles wide, otherwise it won't work properly, even if the image is smaller than that, add some extra pixels in.

Or you can make the grab box bigger by holding down control or shift or 's' or something whilst clicking. I can't remmeber off the top of my head, sorry.

i uploaded a newer version of the tileset on the first post. it has a prototype dungeon door set, but i haven't tested it rigorously yet.

thanks joe and zemious for your input.

[Akkabus]

whoever's still interested in this project (since the thread is slipping into oblivion), i'm still working on the tileset and it should be ready for submission into the database either this week or the next.

i've added a lot of things since my last reply. all the updates are written on the first post. if you want, you can download it and see if the changes are good/bad.

i probably won't be adding more door sets though, since that's just about the most boring thing i did in my entire life. >.<

[Zemious]

I love your tileset man, it looks like you're getting close to a finish.
be sure to submit it to PZC.

Did you add my water tiles?

Wow, I absolutely love your palette organisation.
Why is Cset 4 on the main palette every single palette empty though?

And you know that 00 is the colour that the system uses for empty spaces, such as tiles with no graphic assigned that are usually a black and red square, right?
Is it completely dependant on that colour being a cream colour? Because it looks rather usual.

yup, should be on one of the last pages. ^_^

oh, i figured the less active csets, the better. that way, there's a lot of flexibility to add your own cset without recoloring anything. plus, there weren't a lot of colors to begin with.

color 00 has to be cream on csets 0 and 1 to make the game over screen look right since tile 0 has transparencies. i made it pink for all the other csets because i love pink! nah just kidding. it's to tell the difference between transparent and black. lots of other tilesets seem to do the same thing.

Akkabus, I just noticed something. On the bottom corners of your OoA Past mountains, the ground is miscolored. Small, but important.

[Joe123]

You know, after using this tileset, I think it would really benefit from a few gaps for the user to create their own combos, I have to keep scrolling to the end of the list already and I've only made about 15 screens.
You haven't got the chimenys from the houses in OoA and OoS by the way.

[Akkabus]

ok ebola, i fixed the mountains. thanks for pointing it out.

joe, how many spaces should i leave for each combo section? and where should some spaces be? one obvious area is the divide between ow and dungeons, but do you find yourself needing space in some other areas?

the chimneys are in there. somewhere... =P

thanks, both. you've been nothing but helpful so far with your suggestions.

----

as a sidenote, i've been feeling that my contributions to the set have reached a plateau, so if anyone would like to take over development of this tileset (preferably someone who really wants to make a quest with it), please PM me and let me know, i'll be more than happy to let someone take over.

the way it stands now, there's still some problems and unknowns with the set. i know it's missing a ton of animations. and also i haven't tried making a quest with it, so i don't know how solid the tileset is from the questmaking angle.
