i downloaded 2 or three tile sets and i am i cant figure out how to open them on my zquest. i am using 2.55

[Russ]

All you have to do (assuming these are .qst tilesets) is go to file->Open and open the tileset like you would any other quest.

[chris cervoni]

after i downloaded a tile set when i try to open it it ask to open with what it says get app and there is no app then says media player by it

[Russ]

You should be opening it from within ZQuest. Open ZQuest first, then go to File->Open.

[Emily]

What tileset are you trying to open, and what version of ZQuest are you using to open it?

There are 3 DoR tilesets, knowing which one you are trying to open would help.

 

What are you talking about "importing" or "exporting"? Once you have the `.qst` file from the download page, you open `zquest.exe`, then you `File->Open` and select the downloaded `.qst` file. Then, you edit the quest to make your own quest. At no point in there is any "importing" or "exporting" involved.

the updated version with snow on the trees and ground

...and you completely did not answer the second half of my post. What trouble are you having opening the quest file?

[chris cervoni]

[Emily]

when you go to file and go to open it doesnt have the tiles i downloaded

. . . . What? Where did you place the downloaded file? Do you know how to find a file on a computer?

not sure is the best way, but starting from zero try this :

 

first open whit zlaunch - once open launch ZQ, load your quest ( not the tileset ) - now go on the righ part of screen when you see the tiles, right click on mouse and select "open tile   page", now go more down you can, when you are sure there only pages whit  blank tiles, select one of the empty tiles and select grab - now load the tileset and..grab all you want..of course the colors and style clash is all another story..

 

i think the emily advice is better, is the more correct but if for some strange reason it don't work on you PC you may try like this

Grabbing tilesets is not the proper way to use a tileset, as you won't have the same palette at all. You would need to import SO MUCH from the tileset to use it. When you are starting in a tileset, you should always open the tileset as a .qst and edit it directly. Using grabbing as a way to get tiles out of the tileset is only useful if you are stealing some tiles from one tileset into another tileset.
