make a tileset

[JanusJackrabbit]

can I take tiles from a bunch of different tilesets and put them in one set, and if so how?

[Violet CLM]

You call that "make"? http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif No, only kidding. I think you take screenshots of levels using the other tilesets and copy the tiles from the image that you want into the tileset. That's my theory, at least.

[EvilMike]

It is possible, but not reccomended. You will quickly run out of room in the 256 colour pallete.

[JanusJackrabbit]

okay. thanks anyway

[Hareoic]

I tried and failed. But, of course, I really suck at ANYTHING in JCS.

[Aiko]

Yes, you can. Use my great old trick (i'm in a very generous mood today) and make the "tileset" window in the JCS as large as possible. Then take some screenshots and make a "new" tileset out of it (just copy and paste from the screenshots into the new set).

[Violet CLM]

It works better from JJ2 itself, last I heard.

[Ice M A N]

It does.

[EvilMike]

Yeah, when you do it from jazz2 itself you can fit a lot more into one screenshot.

[Ice M A N]

That, and the colors are more perfect...



I copied a tileset (Jungle, I think), once using the JCS screenshot method, and once using the JJ2 screenshot method, they both turned out very well, however the JCS screenshot one had quite a few not-quite-right colors.



But the mask does have to be copied from JCS.

I have something like that, yes you can do it ...kinda.

[Disguise]

1. Take screenshot of tileset in JCS (print screen)



2. Paste in a program like PSP



3. Add all screenshots together



4. Save and build in JCS



Hehe, that's it http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[JanusJackrabbit]

okay. thank you!!

[Rage]

I was thinking...



How about combining 2 oficial sets (For example carrottus and castle) And making them one.



I think it's quite impossible (Not enuf room in pallette) but if it was prolly TSF (More room for tiles)

[Violet CLM]

Ask CTU..... They've probably done it a million times already..... (This is not a personal attack, or at least I don't think it is)

[SteelTalon]

Actually, I'm remasking Colon1, and I did it the JCS way. The tiles came out 2 pixels short (AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!) so I guess I'll have to do it over again. I did the mask correctly, though...

[mortalspaz]

You can make the tileset image like that. But what about the mask?
I am trying to make easter fix and the mask troubles me.
in DTR sais i have to delete. I deleted all the things i don't want jazz to run into and....compiled... It's probably the palette thing... Where can i get the easter palette? Anyway Jazz is blue, he gets stuck in caves, txt bg looks awfuly bad,etc... What should i do?

well.. when you make the image, in PSP the background must be black or jazz-blue?

I wonder exactly how you managed to scavange a 7,9 year old thread.
I wonder if that's some sort of a record when it comes to thread revivals.

(((No sarcasm or PA intended)))

Probably it turned up in a search on the forum (perhaps sorted by relevance rather than post date). I know I've resurrected some old threads that way.
