RPMV Hospital Tiles/Chars

[rodrigochoe]

I've been looking around and the closest thing I could find was 

 

I can't find a single RPMV resource for hospitals anywhere, as everything is RMVXAce.
I especially want the bed and curtain dividers  as they fit perfectly with the scene i'm thinking of for my game."


As for walls, anything with a white-ish look that fits the "sterile" environment of a hospital is fine.
A prime example are these walls 

If they were a tad shade lighter, i'd be ecstatic.

Anyone know of any resources matching my description? And if they don't exist would anyone be willing to make some?

Thanks in advanced!

The tiles in the first screenshot are the Futuristic Tiles pack. I've got them and sized them up to fit MV and they work well, imo.

@mlogan Oooh very nice. Would you be willing to share the sized up files? And to my knowledge the Futuristic pack doesn't include the beds, dividers,x-rays and iv drips correct? Those are all custom made?

 

[mlogan]

No, I won't share the upsized files as it is a paid pack. There are plenty of topics on the forums discussing best methods of upsizing. Someone also created an easy tool for upsizing, I can't think of the name of it right now, but you can search.


And yes, all of those pieces are in the the pack.

What's worked for me for upsizing is to use GIMP, then tell it to resize the image to 3x the current size. Then, once that is done, tell it to resize the image again to half it's current size. After both steps, you will have your tileset in the right size for MV.


As for why both steps, image programs do not have good algorithms for upsizing things by 1.5x normal size, but they can do full integers pretty well, as well as 1/2 size. Hence the 3x step, then 1/2x step.

Honestly though, I tried that with this set and it left a ton of stray pixels around. My quick method for this set was to simply scale each image size to 150%. I will probably do something nicer eventually, but this worked better for me for now.

@bgillisp Thanks for the info! If it doesn't work with this specific pack I'll be sure to try it out with others.

@mlogan Alright i'll buy the set and resize it. I've heard from various sources that resizing it deflates the pixel quality by quite  a bit, but in your opinion does it really make a significant difference? Also, did you happen to add any filters after you resized it?

 

[mlogan]

I didn't add any filters or anything and I thought for the most part it was fine. But I did it the really lazy way, and intend to eventually go back and do it to optimize quality.


This topic might be helpful to you.

@mlogan All i can say is WOW! I did the method sent in the link and the tiles are looking pristine. Thanks so much for the help I'll do this for all of the RMVXAce tiles i come across. ^_^
