Can't find halp....send halp?

[Ravos9988]

So, I've spent the last two hours browsing the forum and YT looking for a tut on how to use the resource manager, or how to import tile sets, generator parts, etc., into the editor so I can use them. I have a folder on my desktop full of the freebies and community freebies stuffs, and I have no clue how to add them to be used. Any help is much appreciated, even if its just a video.

I've moved this thread to MV Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

Here's a tutorial for the generator parts:

I rather just place the files right into the project folder. To reach your project's folder, click "Game" then "Open Folder". Then place your files in the appropriate folders.

the question is if you have complete tilesheets or only tile pictures because that might make an additional step neccessary.

1) if you have single tiles only, you need to use an image program like GIMP or Photoshop to combine them into tilesheets.
There are six different tilesheet formats, all explained in the help file of the program/editor

2) if you have tilesheets, then you import them by resource manager into the folder for tilesets.
you can also simply copy them with windows, because the resource manage does the same - the manager just helps you by pointing to the correct folder

3) After importing the tilesheets, you need to go to the database to create tilesets out of the tilesheets.
This is where the different formats mentioned under 1 become important: each format is for a specific slot of the tilesets and can't be used in a different slot (B to E are identical, A1 to A5 are completely different)

If you want better help you need to tell us what your problem is and why you can't do those steps

Please give your topics a meaningful title, one which gives an indication of the type of query you have. Queries such as "Help plz!" or "I have a problem" or "Newcomer, & I'm stuck" does not provide enough information. It's quite possible that people will just skip by it in the New Posts/New Threads thinking that's what it is. It also means that if anyone in the future has the same sort of query, they will be unable to find this and (hopefully) the solution.
