Title: Question pertaining to my map idea.
Post by: sadron on June 17, 2009, 16:16:18

I want to create a sort of "space station" with the map editor, with biomes spread through out. My main problem though is finding the best suited tile sets for the tech parts of the level. Any pointing to a recommended tileset from the stock 255 would be great. Thanks in advance.

You can also make your own tilesets, or download tilesets made by others. :)
As for recommendations, I can't think of a lot of tilesets off the top of my head. X)

Thanks all the same. Not too sure what I'd use for making my own tile sets, plus I'm not sure how well I'd do.

Paint is the way to go for beginners, although gimp is a good one to make it... well erm better (its much harder though) after reading a few tileset & pixel art tutorials im sure you can make things like a pro in paint or gimp  ;)

For me personally i make in paint (for its excellent tools) and touch up in gimp (add light effects and shaders etc.)

Good luck :P2

Also, There is a problem that some beginners editors have in KS...
Dont put your custom tilesets in Data folder
This will make that the people wont see your tilesets if you relase it, and  also, probably you cant play very well some levels that have that tileset.
To fix it, put your tilesets in Knytt stories/Worlds/*the name of your level here*/TilesetsYou have to create that last folder, or you can use the Data Manager as well.

I've tried the data manager...trust me, it's way easier to do it manually XD

Until that time I decided to work on another idea of mine, a bunch of lower levels below with different environments, strata of levels as you go down into the ground.
