I had a question, since empty tiles are automatically blocked - is there any scripts available to customize this? I know I can map the floor and display a picture using another script above the tiles, but that just seems hacky to me. Any suggestions to resolve this problem?

Thanks.

I was thinking about this, and always wondered if you setup a B,C,D or E tile set with two "blank" tiles - one passable and one not - if you could 'colour' your map with them. Anyone comment?

That's pretty much how I always did my maps, Genii. To make it easier, you can just use a semi-transparent graphics while mapping, then re-import the tileset with the blank graphic after you're done. :)

I always ran into an issue with the editor bugging up things whenever I tried to use a transparent tile.

I figured it out, this can be closed.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
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
