1) yes, and there are topics on the forum to tell you how, just search for them - you'll need an external program to do this however.


2) The first tile of the B sheet needs to be set to star and a transparent tile, or all passabilities will be broken on any map using that tileset - again a known quirk of the program, you might want to read the tutorial linked in my signature to learn more about this and a few other special effects on the map (see the tips at the end)

The icon can be changed with a custom launcher and installation. although It may go against the end-user licence agreement ...

The X O problem is most likely that you have assigned the clear tile in the upper-left corner in any of the overlay tilesets to a X or O instead of a Star.

Don't forget to first change the image file to an .ico format. There are many online converters that do it. Just google 'Ico converter'. It creates various icon sizes within the same file, which you can then use in Resource Hacker (the software that can change the icons).

You can always just create a shortcut to the exe and give that a custom icon.

If you do that, it will still show the game's icon on the actual window though...

thanks for the info. I did try a search but....doing a search for "icon" obviously all I got was stuff on icon sheet.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
