Okay, seriously, you just started a topic in Development Showcase so you could post two screenshots of fairly simple use of standard KS tilesets.

Really, I think it'd be better to make a level with that.  It's not hard.

You dont have to use too much layer 0,1,2 as a background, which means you can have more room to do more stuff.

OH, I see.

Okay, so these are gradients.  Made to conserve layer space, I guess.

...to be honest they still don't seem to have much purpose to them, but whatever.

Well, indeed on your screens, only layer 0 & 1 are necessary. But that isn't the case in many features. I don't see the point of this topic.

There really is no point for this topic. Although the idea is to have many layers grouped to the gradient, it is alot more resourceheavy to use a gradient than to use the tilesets. Next, you only have 256 gradients, so that leaves room for a max of 256 distinct screens.

Thirdly, Nifflas gave 4 layers for the background, because most of the time, 4 really is enough. I haven't had the need for a 5th layer actually, and even if I had to, I could use Custom Objects to work on layers 4 to 7 too. Gives me 8 full layers of work.

Seriously, this topic is redundant and a to be honest, a bit pointless too.

Since there's no reason for this topic to exist in its current form, I'm going to lock it. Feel free to start a discussion about using gradients as replacements for layers in the Knytt Stories Level editing forum.
