Interesting in checking out this server, I attempted to join but it wasn't able to join. I assume it's down, looking for a cool server to get a nice place built up without worrying about PvP stuff (not really my thing). I'll check out the TS when I get a chance.

Looks great, can't wait to see it finished. And any other buildings you plan to make.

I've also wanted to go through with this and make a tileset but due to being a bit busy I can't at the moment. In the Map Editor download there is a "Tiles" folder. I just made a copy of that whole folder so I could edit them without worrying about messing up TileZed. Since the images are just .pngs, any editor should do fine. I used Photoshop but I'm sure Paint/GIMP would suffice. The sizes I still haven't figure out fully because some tiles are split..such as a couch having 2 sections and stairs having 3 pieces (1st-one touches floor,2nd-mid air, 3rd-Touches next floor up) and I haven't quite figured out those sizes yet. As for telling it what kind of tile it is, I would start using a "base template" such as a piece of grass if you want to do outside ground, carpet for inside, a section of stairs for stairs, want to make a wall? start with a wall, then design around that, and so on. I know there's a "Tile Properties" selection under the "Tools" drop down menu in TileZed, though I'm not 100% sure how to use it, I believe there is where you could fine-tune the properties of the tiles you're working on. I have a small example of making a tile/object here: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/4873-arcade-machine-wip/ Hope this helps in some way, anything is possible in this game with the knowledge.

Brilliant idea. I'm so glad this is being pursued and encouraged. Great way to get people more involved with the game. This + MP, oh my.

Very nice. Ship is super creative. Keep it up.

Thanks for sharing, nice buildings to start out. I believe the file you want to upload is the .tbx file that you get from the Building Editor.

Great work! Hotel is awesome, office and shopping center look great so far. Keep it up.

Yes! Awesome idea's. Fusing everyones ideas into one BIG MAP would be cool. Keep it up.

Lol for sure, was thinking of making larger city type map sometime.

That looks really good. Indoor pool?

Pics pretty much explain it. Feel free to use if you'd like. Just re-posting as per request to clean up. Levels: Download link: (.tmx)

Lol that's cool. Once I figure out the multi-tile objects/tile sheets- I'll pump out some more graphics. But...class comes first, thanks again for messing up my sleep schedule to whoever released these tools.

For sure, I'[ll re-design it, those were just the first colors I slapped on it. More tweaks ahead. Possibly multiple ones, and a pinball machine once I figure out multi-tile stuffs. Edit: Well since I can't seem to sleep. Made another skin for it, using images from PZ/ui folder.

Thanks Maybe we could script in a little arcade game for those lonely nights in PZ (jk). Trying to figure out the tilesets better so I can create my own tile sheet. Having trouble figuring out the boundaries between an object that has multiple tiles so they align just right. Example: All the guides are in increments of 64. 64, 128, 196, etc.. But as in this picture..the last one crosses over which is making me question where EXACTLY the cross-over point is between multiple tile objects is. Trying to eventually create a base template that would be easy to use. Maybe after proper sleep. Also wondering if there's a specific pixel amount surrounding objects such as these dressers. Or is it using the measurements of one tile for the vertical difference?

Thanks for adding my building. Got some other stuff in progress, not enough time to learn lol.

This ones for the "crafty modders".... Just a little something I've been wanting to figure out. Create item and bring into a map, think it turned out alright. Fixed controls being mirrored.

A four-story office building I made over the past 5 or so hours...still learning. Mostly furnished, bathrooms on 1st and 3rd floors. Added download link (.tmx) for anyone that would like it... Download link:

People obviously don't read the "Commonly Suggested Suggestions [Read Before Posting]". On another note, you're disgusting. I saw you change that racist remark on your post. You're not slick. I for one think you should be banned for even attempting to post such racist remarks. I get curse words, but being RACIST?! You kidding me? I don't stand for shit like that and not letting someone try to get away with it. '

Was messing with this a bit earlier and found its pretty easy. I first tried 900high X 1500wide but it placed the map on the left diagonal plane (not the way I wanted). So all I did was rotate the map and map_veg 90 degrees and it turned it in the direction I wanted to. Example in pics. Thanks again for this tutorial, helped tons and exactly what I was looking for.

That looks super awesome, can't wait to check it out. Nice work.

After climbing through window, get stuck in bed. Can climb back out Build 21

This worked fine for Tiles.pack & UI.pack but for some reason the Characters one is either taking a very long time or somethings going wrong. Any ideas?

Just wanted to say thank you for all this information. I've been watching videos and reading up trying to learn LUA to make something myself. Doesn't seem that bad once you get the idea. Also just browsing the JavaDoc gives you plenty of ideas of what's capable. Keep this thing updated, nice central place to go for essential modding information. Edit: After thinking a bit, why do you think the point values for RGB are from 0 to 1? And not 0-255 like any regular color selector. I think a visual palette selector for color would be a great addition. I wonder if this can be changed or was done for a reason.

Hmm I don't think you could ever have too much food items. How about drinks as well? Possible each food/drink item add/subtracting attributes, say some Mountain Dew (my favorite ) would make you move a bit faster, add health, but possibly make you more hungry. Just throwing ideas out there. As for food... some ideas that came to mind: -Canned Goods (Baked beans, corn, soup (tomato,broc & cheese,chicken noodle,etc), -MRE's (Meal Ready to Eat, check it out if you're not sure what they are) -Bacon (Every game needs bacon) -Rice (grow also?)+ Fish (diff types?) = Sushi w/ that Soy Sauce already mentioned Could be Bowl of rice, w/ or w/o soy sauce, same for sushi w/different types of fish -Burgers/Hotdogs -Sardines (EWW!! I know, but they last years) -Pies (I see fruits, could grow fruits and wheat to make dough then make pies) -Cakes (Side Note: TWINKIES and other delicious Hostess-like snacks, doughnuts?) -Candy Bars & other sweets (chocolate, etc) -I love the pizza idea. And then curious about the possibility of drinks. Everyone's favorite soda, beverage, alcohol. Let me know what you think, I'm just brainstorming out loud here. More variety is better, I just think it needs to be done tastefully.(No pun intended lol)
