Some more of my little itty bitty edits.


Everything came straight from the RTP and Mack's stuff, unless noted.


Map example - World map grass tiles and Apple Trees


Mack's super trees with some of his apples and flowers used for overlay.


Also, RTP row tomatoes edited a bit to look more like flower beds.


lol it was cutting edge when I made 'em!

RTP Edits


Avalanche and Ralph Digs (lower set shows digging without lowering into the ground)

Ralph gets trapped in the mines and has to dig - Here's his sprite. (with a nod of thanks to Aindra for help )

WindowSkin cr EB and Aindra - screenie in spoiler

Animated Objects and sprites


These tiles are from D*M's website, in the 200X portion.


I edited them a bit and got them ready for VX.


And Added animation for D*M'c laptop and PC.

With EB's Sci fi panel

Angry Red Queen requested for Alice game

And for <ahem!> folks who are using Mack's Chars, a monster edit.

credit to D*M for the sprite - unknown credit for hat

I have made some windowseats.


I didn't like the look of this, on the left so I worked on this on the right:

And I came up with these:


It is a neater, more seamless look, I think.

Example uses Screenie, credit info and source file in spoiler

RPG Maker VX/Ace tiles - casino, windowseats

source file credit Mack, Atticus Harper (for turning Mack's Couch) and GrandmaDeb

I used Mack's Japanese tileset. See spoiler:

I also edited some tiles for an Ancient dungeon area.


For the floors, I also compiled Aindra's floors, adding more staircases and making a complete A5 set. The images on the floor tiles are from actual hieroglyphics. They aren't incredible, but they add to an ancient themed game, anyways.

Source Files in spoiler - Be sure and check out Aindra's extra floor tiles!

Wonderful!! I love the Egyptian looking floors. They could make for a really great puzzle!

 

[Jonnie91]

Those Egyptian floors are AMAZING! Thankyou

These extras help to make all the difference.

Thanks.

Modern Exterior TileSet Philosophy and TileSet Introduction
BETA VERSION
by GrandmaDeb​

First of all, I have done my best, but really if you want first class stuff, check out Celianna's Futuristic Tiles
http://pixanna.nl/products/futuristic-tiles/
and Lunarea's Modern Tiles
http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/graphics/modern-day-tiles-resource-pack
My ideas are shared here so you can understand the way I have organized my resources and the maps I am trying to make. =] Hope it helps.

Spoiler

Features of the Resources/ Suggested Mapping Approach:
* Four Main Areas – My tiles have been designed to allow you to produce four areas in your maps, which overlap one another somewhat, as modern cities do. They are High Rise, Old Towne, Industrial/Commercial, and Suburban.
*Waterways - TileA1/A2 - Most modern cities have very regulated waterways due to crowding. Industrial areas may have boggy run-off areas. Suburban areas could have creeks. For this reason, I suggest using the inside water tiles, which provides a creek and fountains, and the TileA2 edit with a boggy areas for your modern city.
TileA1 – Use the Ace RTP Inside-A1 with two edited water tiles.
TileA2 – this compilation from CyangMou, Candacis, IceDragon, TerraChan, Mack, the RTP and GrandmaDeb has a grass bordered boggy depression for watery areas also. (not passible via boats – if )
*Approach to Vehicles/World Mapping - I suggest that main maps only have “decorative” vehicles. Vehicles on main maps can be parked or shown moving in a parallax on busy streets where your players cannot travel. Players can enter certain vehicles (taxis, buses, or cars in parking lots or parking spaces) which then transport them to a world map, where the player appears as a vehicle on a road. On the world map, a 32x32 (or slightly larger) vehicle may be used.
As you can see, next to a 32 by 32 sprite, a vehicle that is 75 pixels wide looks proportional, and would look good on a map with buildings. But a smaller vehicle would be needed on a world map. (Pictures courtesy of Nanikasira TKool)
Handling vehicles and world maps in this way allows a realistic look in your main maps but allows travel between cities in vehicles. Airplane/bus/subway travel could either be on the world map in a vehicle, or in a map used in a common event showing passengers seated on the airplane, etc.
*RTP Style? – While I have tried to keep my materials in an RTP style, it seems to me that part of the RTP style is tied up in the setting it represents – mostly pre-industrial and largely medieval. Big old blocks of stone make sense for that time period, but not now. Modern materials are less textured (look at some concrete walls, or adobe (in the South) or the manufactured trims and coatings. Modern homes may have multiple exterior materials (concrete foundation, siding, stone and brick all on one house!)
Modern homes have lots of broken roof lines (reverse gables) with tons of stuff like pipes and satellite dishes on roofs. There are small enclosures and equipment on the roof of commercial building.
And although RTP walls usually have heavy edges (big wooden beams, pillars, different colored bricks) I just cannot get over the fact that very few modern homes have accents like this (except ones with siding.) So I skirted that RTP style element a bit. I claim poetic license. =]
*Doors are preferred to be One and a half tiles high, but okay we can find other sizes too. =] But I think the 1 ½ size works best.

[TygerBurnz]

Now these aren't already arrnged in sets, are they? *confused*

 

[Sharm]

Most of the tiles you'll find outside of the store downloads won't be setup in sets. It's expected that you know how to edit them together yourself. It's better that way, then you get to pick and choose your favorites and set it up specifically for your game. The sprites, however, can usually be used as is.

 

[GrandmaDeb]

Now these aren't already arrnged in sets, are they? *confused*

The floor tiles with the stairs and the ancient tiles at the bottom is an A5 tileset.


What Sharm said is true. It really doesn't work to post a few resources in a tile format.


But let me know if you are stuck.

The person who made the hat is Therapie, he did a few cowboys which is why I recognize it. =3 (Accent on the "e")

Thanks so much for the friendly shot over the bow, Palladinthug!


Turns out I made the sprite when Therapie was a wee lad. I think he used the hat sprite I did to make his cowboys as well. But I am completely ecstatic to have someone in my corner helping me find stuff! Very much appreciated.


(If you crave details, I made the sprite in Feb 2009, when he was 13; he started game making after that. http://therapie-rmvx.jimdo.com/)


But again, you are wonderful for trying to help me out! I owe you one.

I assume there are some tutorials around here

 

[GrandmaDeb]

Well, idk about tutorials for GIMP or Photoshop for actual placement of tiles here, but the help file in your game gives you details on the file sizes for each tilesheet. An online copy of the help file is here:

And here is a GIMP basics tutorial for editing images for RPG Maker:

This is such amazing work. As an Egyptian, I truly love those floor tiles.

And the electronics are looking wonderful, too. Thanks for sharing.
