What kind of tileset would you like to see made?

[Fawriel]

A topic that has been requested before.
Post here all the ideas for tilesets you have always wanted, but could never find.
And if you really want to, tell people how much you want a certain theme NOT to be used again. =b

My ideas:

<b>Beach</b> ( I don't like the original JJ2 one. )
A <b>sketch tileset</b>, complete with new grey-and-white palette
<b>Internet</b> ( Yeah baby! )

And a well-made <b>polar</b> tileset would actually be nice.

[FireSworD]

We need more good industrial themed tilesets like 7th lava fall that have a lot of variety.

[n00b]

I'd really like to see
More 'Pyschedelic' themed tilesets, as much as I love them, I'm starting to get bored using the official tileset
and a GOOD halloween themed tileset.

[cooba]

My ideas:
JJ1 Technoir (just because)
Airbase (I'm thinking of making one especially for PIPE PROJECT)
Laboratory (Labrat barely looks like a lab for me)

Internet would be cool. Using e-mails as warps, graying and ungraying stuff by triggers, hacking restricted websites, fighting viruses... whee! ^_^

What I'd like to see too are JJ2 tilesets redrawn in JJ1 style. I like JJ1's style.

[Disguise]

I'd like to see tilesets that follow no overall theme whatsoever, something that every aspect of is both new and original

[Blackraptor]

I agree with FS. Maybe some historical sets (Prehistoric, Roman times) too.

[Radium]

Cornflake04. Or 05. I forget if I ever made 04.

[Nielsje]

I'd like to see a tileset pack being released about World War II, with several themes

[LittleFreak]

I'd like to see something really crazy (as I'm a crazy guy). I don't mean another wonderland, I mean a really crazy theme. For example a tileset where Jazz has to travel through the body of a giant rabbit, or something. :)

Or what about a stone age themed tileset (with stone age rabbits, etc.) Leave dinos out of that one however, because we already have the Lost World.
Good luck! :D

[Stijn]

- Something epic. Gigantic. Apocalyptic. Dramatic.
- SHIP TILESET! With boats, cabins, steam and underwater stuff 8D ma nizzles? 8D
- Something ancient. Like a tileset with Roman/Greek temples and all that.
- A snow tileset with great graphics.
- Anything with a bright blue sky 8D

[DarkSonic]

I would like a tileset about a country(like a tileset with Dutch things)

[Risp_old]

Final fantasy style airships.

[White Rabbit]

A big, big indoor museum/library tileset. It's satisfying smashing up 4000 year old artifacts. Basically make a huge library/museum tileset filled with books, bookshelves, databanks, ladders, stairs, paintings of bald old men and of course a giant book with the title 'JJ2 Source code' that is shut with a giant lock labelled 'Epic Games'. There should be dinosaur skeletons (you should be able to climb onto a dinosaur's, maybe a T-Rex, skeleton's backbone, tail, head, etc), mystical talimans, Egyptian stuff, a JJ1 OEM version inside a vacuum-sealed, laser-guarded and bullet-proof glass box, lots and lots of museum-stuff like big doors, shelves with rocks in it and maybe a chemistry/biology/physics lab filled with experiments like clones, perpetual-motion machines, universal dissolvers, etc. The whole thing should have an old, booky and "educated" atmosphere a la British Museum New York public library and New York Natural History museum. There must be lots of JJ1, 2 and JJA references (I've already mentioned JJ2 source code and JJ1 OEM). Maybe there should be a locked up door that you can't access that says: 'JJ3 - a new exhibition that is coming soon' or just 'JJ3 - P R I V A T E - Authorized staff only!'. There should, of course, be rabbit, turtle, lizard skeletons and skeletons of all of the other creatures/bosses in JJ2, JJ1 and JJA (ah having a huge cameleon skeleton from JJA would be great!). There should also be suckers and floating suckers inside sealed glass containers full of that yellow, preservative liquid, shrunken rabbit heads (that'll be cool! :D) and lots and lots of different platforms, statues, marble/metal/stone floors (look at the Haunted tileset and its different floors, stairs and platforms) and crystal chandeliers to climb and walk on. Maybe you could trigger a 100-year machine gun? Riding on a giant magical flying book? Wandering through dark, lonely libray aisles only to found that you're not alone (!)?. Looking up and see giant glass roofs or 19th architecture (I especially like having it in 19th century architecture because it feels comfy :))? Dealing with noxious fumes, live animals/labrats and escaping from a flood of sulphuric acid that was accidentally spilled all over the floor in the lab? Despite popular belief, museums and libraries are FUN places. :p

I think that this tileset is so amazingly bad because:

1. It's so much more original than most other tilesets. Spaceships? Done that. Ships? Done that. Industrial areas? 7th Lava Fall, Cyberspaz, done that. Giant rabbit? Done that (Inside out, by Fawriel! :p). Old and ancient themes? Done that. (Egypt tilesets by Agama and Kejero and Medieval Japanese themes by Splash). No theme at all? Wisety has done most of the tilesets with no themes, or an outrageously crazy one (remember the Fishy tileset?). Snow tileset? Admittedly HH98, Holidaius, Inferno day and night and all the other snow/winter tilesets have their limits, but there are already so many of them. Beach tileset? Same as with the winter tilesets. A World War II tileset? Done that (Wartorn, by Toxic Bunny). There also doesn't seem much point in doing a WWII battlefield tileset since fighting in a WWII urban area (hence my suggestion of Wartorn) is more interesting. But yes, a battlefield tileset (jungles of Burma, deserts of North Africa, grassy French hills, endless Russian plains) would also be interesting. A World War I (with trenches) tileset wouldn't be so bad either although WWII battlefields are visually more interesting.

2. This tileset, thought it can only be used for indoor lvls and has only one theme, is very flexible and you can create all kinds of differet mp and sp lvls with it (but especially sp because I don't think enough good sp lvls are being made). It, being big (maybe reaching the 1.23 tile limit, forcing the author to make it TSF??), is very detailed and has a humongous amounts of tiles to use, which will encourage good lvl design/lvl originality/lvl eyecandy.

3. I know this is such an impossibly large and complicated project that nobody will bother/can make it. Three of the greatest tileset makers, Agama, Deth and Wisey, have all quit. Let's just daydream...! :p*






*IT IS UP TO BLURRED, ET, MIRROW, MOONBLAZE, NINJA DODO, TOXIC BUNNY AND VIOLET TO CREATE MY TILESET NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**














**SORRY FOR CAPS.***














***PLZ DON'T EDIT AWAY ALL THE SPACE IN MY POST, MODERATORS! :P

[Blackraptor]

Wisey is still alive. There's a fine line between inactive and plain leaving.

[Alister]

Dang and blast. And there was me actually resurrecting a tileset I started working on years ago, only to find out JB doesn't want to see themed stuff and WR doesn't want to see more medieval stuff :p

Clearly Fl@$h has the right idea ;)

[Violet CLM]

Ooh, the one with the big towers that got used twice in that possum game?

[Disguise]

Clearly Fl@$h has the right idea ;)If there's one thing I've learned about tilesets TB, it's to make what you enjoy not what other people want you to make ;)

Go finish that tileset, I commandeth thee!

[cooba]

Giant rabbit? Done that (Inside out, by Fawriel! :p)
You failed to be right. =)

[DoubleGJ]

-Titanic
-Iceberg (first thing that came to my mind after thinking of the first position :D)
-China
-Greyscale
-Western (true western, not Mexico)
-Jupiter
-Volcano
-Tavern

[White Rabbit]

Wisety is still here, but he has stopped making tilesets. Didn't you know that, Blacky?

[Slaz]

I should like to see more nature related tilesets, you know, rabbits belong to it :lol:

[Alister]

Ooh, the one with the big towers that got used twice in that possum game?Yep, that one.

Hehehe, Possum ;)


If there's one thing I've learned about tilesets TB, it's to make what you enjoy not what other people want you to make ;)

Yeah, when you're doing something like profitless tilesets that's a pretty good rule to follow.

The tileset's been almost finished for YEARS but I could never get the trees right. Now I've resolved to just add rubbish trees and release it. Maybe add some snow and christmas tree lights for a seperate Christmas edition.

[Disguise]

Wisety is still here, but he has stopped making tilesets. Didn't you know that, Blacky?Ofcourse I have<s>n't!</s> }>

[Fawriel]

NO! There are more than enough of those already!

Oh, and Titanic has been done. Not well, though.

[blurredd]

If you ask me, the easiest way to make an original tileset is to merge a couple of themes together. See what you can come up with.

[Violet CLM]

-Titanic
"Titanic" fits this description pretty well.
-Iceberg (first thing that came to my mind after thinking of the first position :D)
"Inferno", maybe.
-Western (true western, not Mexico)
"Wild West".
-Volcano
"Volcano".
-Tavern
"Tavern".

[DoubleGJ]

"Titanic" fits this description pretty well.
Link please.
"Inferno", maybe.
No. I mean something with a sea background, a transparent ice covered with a bit of snow, stuff frozen in the ice. Inferno is just... frozen hell.
""Wild West".
Too lame.
""Volcano".
Link please.
""Tavern".
Link please.

[Sciz CT]

You aren't allowed to make a beach-themed set because I'm making a beach-themed set. Aside from that...cyberspace would be really nifty, actually.

[Risp_old]

Link please.
The Volcano tileset was made for a tileset competition (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=6346), but it seems the download link is down. So this post is kinda pointless.

[Odin]

Internet would be awesome. Some specific ideas for the Internet tileset for the tileset makers:


Greenish/blueish textured background
Large, winding roads for background eyecandy
Layer 4 stuff includes buildings, winding roads, and the all-important POWER HUB

[FireSworD]

The Volcano tileset was made for a tileset competition, but it seems the download link is down. So this post is kinda pointless.

That one sucks, Disguise challenged me to create a tileset for his contest during the last 2 days before the deadline. I think we need a better Volcano set.

[Fawriel]

I remember there being an edit of the Carrotus tileset, with lava and fire and all that. Can be made to look quite like a volcano.

[Olsen]

The name of that tileset is Thermal K.1.

It looks awesome!

[DoubleGJ]

But I think there could be made something REALLY volcanic. Take a look at Norfair in Metroid Zero Mission.

[Olsen]

ahh, Metroid Zero Mission. :D

Derby: URL removal. You cannot link to gray-area (though disputed, illegal) content.

[Iam Canadian]

I'd like to see a cave tileset. Not just a rocky layer 5 background, but a real cave. Multiple rock formations, moss and fungi growing on the rocks, stalacites and stalamites for spikes, underground springs and waterfalls, water dripping from the ceiling, the whole nine yards. We don't have many cavern based tilesets.

[DoubleGJ]

Hmmm... Like the caverns in Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time?

[Olsen]

Derby, Orn is not illegal. Its a project started by one single guy that wants to create his own Metroid remake.

And, if it were illegal, then why would the most respected gaming magasine in sweden write about it, even having a link to it.
The respected magasines homepage is http://www.superplay.se



Sorry for getting off topic, just wanted Derby to know this.

Anyway, YAY for this thread.
YAY

[cooba]

Derby, Orn is not illegal blablabla Sweden's magazines are respected and other's aren'tWhat about sending a PM instead? ;p

I'd go for a BOB_ALLEN (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=8513) tileset, after all.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

How about a Sharpedo tileset?

[Ðx]

No pokemon >(

[DoubleGJ]

Shin Chan? XD

[Iam Canadian]

By the way, one other unmentioned theme I'd like to see is a beehive. Think of Donkey Kong Country 2's Hornet Hole level to get what I'm picturing here.

[White Rabbit]

Fawriel has kind of done a beehive tileset for SCE. :p

[Fawriel]

That one doesn't count because it sucks.
...and, well, the only beehivish part about it are the yellow rock-like structures. =P

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Maybe a Tropius set? Or Blaziken one? How about Exploud tileset? Milotic would be fine idea! Yeah, Spinda tileset would be great!

[DoubleGJ]

Pikachu and Charmander are enough of Pokemon tilesets.

[Tubz]

Better Genesis sonic conversions.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Pikachu and Charmander are enough of Pokemon tilesets.
Charmeleon and Raichu are stronger IMO

[Tubz]

Mew pwns every Pokemon. End of discussion.

[Iam Canadian]

Depends. If you're an angsty teenager, Mewtwo dominates.

[Fawriel]

Mewtwo is cute! =D
But Mew is cute in the actual cutesy way!
I'm torn! D=


...uhm, I mean, get back on topic.

[Olsen]

I would like to see a lava tileset, with lots of lava animations and such!

[4I Falcon]

Charmeleon and Raichu are stronger IMO

Stop having no idea what we're talking about, Bjarni. Besides, I think we've gotten the point across that Pokemon tilesets are out.

In any case, I'm posting here because I have a half-decent idea.

Why not a tileset that looks like sketchy lines and stuff on a piece of paper? Something like Faw's original sketch idea, but sort of... sketchier. Complete with stick figures and poorly-drawn clouds.

Unless, of course, such an idea has already taken place; in which case, I need to find such a tileset simply for the glory of being able to say I have it.

Rock.

[DoubleGJ]

Hahah, 4I Falcon, you just reminded me the hidden area in Superfrog ice world.

[4I Falcon]

Hurrah?

[Radium]

Unless, of course, such an idea has already taken place; in which case, I need to find such a tileset simply for the glory of being able to say I have it.

Actually, I made such a tileset once. Similar, anyway. Lots of stick figures and stuff, and the palette was modified so only the darkest colors weren't white, making the characters look like sketches.

[Odin]

Celebi > *

[Blackraptor]

More Duke Nukem 2 conversions.

[DoubleGJ]

Jazz Jackrabbit Advance tileset conversions?
