Modify and expand a Tileset

[DarkSearinox92]

Hi, a simple question guys... how can i change a simple tilsets, to make sure that MV read it? example:

The 1 Is the first part and 2 is the second, Rpg maker editor read it from up to down, like the second part is UNDER the first. How can i extend it? maybe i must create a third part? and rpg maker continue to read it? (extend the width)

Thank you

you cannot.


All sheets used for Tilesets (there are six different formats) have a fixed size and cannot be expanded and still be used in the editor.


If you want a different combination of tiles, you can use GIMP or Photoshop or similiar programs to exchange some of the tiles in a tilesheet, but you cannot add to them.


And usually that is not needed anyway, because you rarely use more tiles in a single map - and you can make different tilesets for different maps.

Oh... i understand... so, the simply solution is to create more tiles (and, for a map in particular that you want modify something, create another tileset that contains THAT modified tile, right? Such as Dungeon_B

yes, just make sure that the different formats are kept - a tilesheet formatted for A3 will not work if placed in the slot for A1 for example

I've understood! Thank you very much

Though if you need help with editing tile sets to mix match parts, I am sure people would be willing to help. Feel free to ask if it is needed and I can give it a shot.

That would be a request for the Resource Requests forum, not for here

Though it's really not difficult to move things around.  Just make sure your graphics program allows transparent backgrounds (so not MS Paint), and it helps if you can set up a 64x64 grid to see where things are going.
