Alessandrho Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Many thanks for the guide Was really useful in many situations, even if most of the things that i've learned, at the end have been resolved by making mistakes over mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thuztor Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Maybe the link to the tileset folder is probably wrong.You can change the link in TileZed -> Tools -> Tilesets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyH Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hi guys, started my mapping carreer yesterday and I really have to say im delightened about how smooth the tools are working. I worked with the Fonline 2238 engine (Fallout 2 engine) which was horrible in every way and i made some private maps for Shadowrun, which was at least a bit better. But the PZ map editor really is a class of its own. The ability to make maps from BMPs, thats just genius. The other isometric editors i worked with demanded every tile to be set separately. You had to work for hours just to make all the floors right. Also i really want to thank Thuztor for his amazing tutorial. I'm on page 22/42 now and I have to say im really making progress here.(Meinen allergrößten Dank ) But now for some questions i have: 1.) Is there a problem using MS Paint for painting the BMP files ? I get alot of wrong color warnings when I use BMP to TMX.2.) Probably related to issue 1. But after you finished BMP to TMX, the image in the tutorial looks different to mine. In your one there are already trees and high grass visible. While mine kinda looks like the two BMP files just laying over another. Thank you guys in advance.Greetz Empty marfiuss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuztor Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 to 1) Probably you have used Antialiasing as you painted your colors. Thereby you will draw unnecessary colors, which you can't distinguish from the right colors. to 2) http://youtu.be/rWJrOJyBK7g?t=4m30s Hope it helps.

EmptyH Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks for the fast response. I really have to go to sleep now, because i have to get up early and I was checking tutorials and stuff half the last night. Tomorrow I'm confident I'll get that little issue settled !

EmptyH Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Alright. Stood up super early today cause it pissed me off, that I couldn't get this stuff fixed. But now I did. Gonna be a zombie in work today, but at least it's friday. 1.) Tried a couple of things. Maybe it was antialiasing, but I think it was how I saved the bmp files (as 8 bit bmp). When I saved it as a 24 bit bmp all the colors were matching. 2.) Was a real noob error. When i convertet BMP to TMX, i forgot to mark: "Assign generated maps to the world." Can't wait to come home today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassa87 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hey hey,[snip... never mind, I was being stupid. I had it on "select and move images" instead of the cells, WOOPS]Also, for those using photoshop instead of paint etc... Pen tool does NOT use anti-aliasing and is amazing. It was a pain in my ass, those colours, but once I figured out what helped it was alright.Thanx for the tutorial Thuztor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
