Actually i tried that already (read my post again). It looks black in the tiledit. But when i started a game using it it became plain red (?dont know why?). Thats why i am sking for help.

So i'm still loking foward your file, IW.

Cool, a tile editor.

Mayby this will enable me to change the tile improvements and the terrains.

I was thinking about using unit sprite without movement points, as a workaround for my scen's.

I think this is mayor improvement for the ctp development.

Yes it’s an editor and yes you can make new improvements on it. Be aware that it takes a bit to get used to. Also it is a tile viewer so you see some improvement activsion did not use.

Have fun

Martin the Dane, you already made a *.til editor and a *.sfz reader.

Have you ever thought making a *.spr reader/creator? Something to convert image files to sprites.
That would a great help for modders and would increase the number of sprite artists.

Well I have, but since there is already a (not very user friendly) sprite generator available, I have never done anything about it. As for the reader, there is a workaround involving screencapture, and I gave up understanding the documentation for the generator.

I was thinking in a sprite creator that stands on its own.
Something that does not need to go over text files or photoshop.

Something like: You have the images. So just join all together directing these images and still see how its is going to look like before test in the game.
All without need to quit the program.

PS: For a moment i thought you left the community. Has been weeks since your last post.

I can't promise anything, but I'll se if I can find the time to look into it. At the moment I'm working something like 10-12 hours a day 5-6 days a week, building a house (a man's got'a make a living). This does not leave much spare time, and I seldom touch my computer, except for writing e-mails, wich also explaines the long absence.

I see.

And i hope you have time for this sprite creator . I am a big fan of your work. I'm sure that if you have time you are going to (again) help modders with their work

Anyway good to know you are still with us and good luck with the house .

Time to add a post to this thread: I found a little bug in TileEdit: If I want to switch from non In-Game Color mode to In-Game Color mode by using the hot key that is reffered to in the Colors Menue, I open with the short Cut Ctrl + M the Add tile improvement box instead of changing the color mode. So the key Ctrl + M is reffered twice but only used for the Tile improvement box.

Oops! guess I'm not infallible after all

Well I have fixed it, now the hot-key for changing color mode is [ctrl]+C

Furthermore this is now the official final relese, so unless somone comes up with the right and full explanation for the last block in the .til-file ther'll be no major updates. (I'll try to fix any bugs that is reported)

As usual you can download the newest version of TileEdit and the patch from my CTP-page
Note that the patch only works for build 21!

Another bug has been brought to my attention, but I have not been able to replicate it, and have thus not been able to locate and fix it.

The bug in questiuon is an error that comes up after a number of edits,requiring a save and reload. If anyone knows more about this error, please let me know.

A Request:
Can you make a possibility to add blocks of tiles from a tile file for another?
Ex. I wanted to have the tiles and rules from the CTP1 added in the apolyton tile file (have you seen it?) without having to add one by one.

Well it turned out not to be too difficult to add append to TileEdit, so now it is possible to append either scripts or .til-files to the end of the current TileFile.

There is one important note, TilEdit does NOT check for duplicate resouce names in the resulting resulting .til file.

i'ts rather late here.

Get the new version or the path from theTileEdit Page

• Added image border size on the options page.

(a duplicate request and just keeping it in the tile edit thread)

Martin the Dane Tile Edit Feature Request. If you are looking for a suggestions to add to the tile edit, I'd just suggest these (they arent crucial and Tile edit is great!)

1) a feature to just add the black border to the graphic after a new one is loaded.
2) maybe a cut and paste feture so you can take from the clip board and paste into the picture in tile edit, it would just speed up the process a bit.
3) it might be my settings but when i open the edit->add window it has scroll bars each time so I have to scroll to find ok instead of it just opening to a full window.
4) for the adding feature may be a previous shot and then a loaded picture setup, just because ive had to double check that i'm replacing the last one.
5) maybe a label feature that tells what terrain type the tile is.
Again tile edit is great and these are not necessary but incase you were loking to add some new stuff. thanks!

quote: Originally posted by E 5) maybe a label feature that tells what terrain type the tile is.

Actual this is already in. Just look into the line under "Number of Tiles". There you find three numbers. The first is the ID of the current tile image you see. In CTP2 the first two digists in decimal mode represent the number you use in the terrain.txt the other two digists are some kind of index, of course the IDs could also distributed based upon another formula like in CTP1. The second number is the number you use in the terrain.txt that is your label that tells you what terrain the tile is. The last number tells you which of these black borders around the tile are present.

Ok lets take them one at a time

1: I am trying to add an automatic cutout system to the image loading routeen. It has proved a little more complicated than I'd first expected, but it will be in the next release.

2: I don't know how to import image data from the clipboard, but my instincts tell me I'd have to create a graphics editor for that, wich is no trivial matter. I might be able to make som sort of file drag and drop import. But don't count on it being there anytime soon. (you can do that in the import file selec window, by the way)

3: I'll se if I missed som font-size/window-size linking somewhere. That's the only thing I can think of rigt now.

4: Not entirely sure what you want, but I'll se if I can make the add/replace/edit window show a short list of images of the resource type being modified. With the possition currently being modified highlighted.

5: Well this is a request that has been made many times. Unfortunately the labels are not in the tile file so displaying the labels would not make much sence without an editor for the terrain.txt being incorporate into TileEdit, wich will call for adding editing of all the other tile-file related .txt-files. If this source code project realy kicks off I might add that but not under the current circumstances.

Nope!

But it does have something to do with the distribution of different tiles within the same type of terrain.

I don't have the time right now to do any extensive testing of that, but if you'd like to play with it, please let me know what you find out.
