Problem with importing tilesets into database

[kingjulien]

I have imported a tileset into Resource Manager, preview it and looks fine but when I select it in Databse, the tileset always import halfway, incomplete and at random position.

Example, 

In A1, A2, A3, A4, the tileset only 16 boxes appear instead of 70++ and they are in random positions.

while in B, C, D top half of the tileset are fine. but missing at the bottom half.

When you start mapping they should appear correctly.

In A1, A2, A3, A4, the tileset only 16 boxes appear instead of 70++ and they are in random positions.

All A#-Slots have different formats, and the tiles will only work correctly if they are in the special format for that slot.
For example, the A1 sheet is for animated autotiles and each of the animated autotiles consist of three regular autotiles. That is a total size of 192*96 pixels for the data of a single tile - and of course the editor will only show the placeholder for that single tile, not wasting place for the automatically used rest of the data.


Check the help file to see the five different formats for the five A#-Slots.

while in B, C, D top half of the tileset are fine. but missing at the bottom half.

Then again, you used the wrong format.


All B to E sheets need tilesheets of 16x16 tiles for a total of 512x512 pixels.


If you're missing the bottom half of your tiles, then most probably you made a 8x32 tile tilesheet. That is how the sheet is displayed in the editor, but it is NOT how it is formatted in the resource manager.


The editor displayy the right half of the 16x16 sheet below the left half to make the working space easier, but you need to make your B/E-sheets as 16x16 tile sheets.


And remember, that for the B-slot, the first tile needs to be transparent (C to E can have any tile in the first position)
