LMAT (Valentine's Day)

[Radium]

Okay guys, Valentine's day only lasts for one day, so we're going to have to skip some steps, like agreeing on a theme, making tiles that match up, getting all the tiles necessary to build actual levels, or maybe even erasing the grid lines depending on how much of a hurry you are in. The rules:

-No copying tiles from anything else. Everything must be original, even if it's crap.
-No modifying or deleting or redoing other people's tiles. At all. Even changing their placement.
-No porn (<s>unless it's approved by Radium. To get approved, please send.</s>)


Ok I'll start us off with a ground tile or background thing or something. It's a heart.

Added a simple Text sign. Didn't have much time to shade it or anything.

[Odin]

Peach sprite by Tonberry 2k of The Spriters' Resource.

[n00b]

Hey is it ok if I move my own tile? I want the sign to be able to coexisit with the ground.

[Radium]

Hey is it ok if I move my own tile? I want the sign to be able to coexisit with the ground.No. Next thing you know someone else will want to move their tile, then all of a sudden people will want to move other people's tiles and that will take time to agree on and we won't finish by the end of V-Day. You can make another tile that bears a striking resemblance to this one only with the sign on ground, though.

[n00b]

Whatever, I'm too tired to get striking resemblences done, and theres currently only 3 people who contributed. Plus I found that according to the first post, I can move the tile, thanks to a loop hole.

[Radium]

Ooh, I just noticed that loophole. Clever.

[Cheese]

I made this just earlier, then i come to post it and it's already been updated XD

.....it's still the 13th XD

[Radium]

Merged and added Odinish platform sides.

I drew every pixel of fooruman myself! besides peach was also allowed so gg

[CrimiClown]

I had something done, but I guess I'm late... =\ Ah, this ground looks better anyway.

[Radium]

[CrimiClown]

Mweh...

http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/3429/lmatvalentine2hd.png

Suprised me nobody made actual ground tiles yet. Added a plain pink one, and three with a dot on it. ;)

[Stijn]

http://stijn.fuzic.nl/j2o/lmat/valentine2.png
Added a bad-looking tile in which destruct blocks can fall apart.

[Ðx]

hahaha cool!

[White Rabbit]

*cough*slopes*cough*

[Stijn]

I'm currently working on "cave" tiles, and someone needs to make slopes indeed.

[CrimiClown]

Making slopes and vines.

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9904/lmatvalentine6kj.png

Edited, fixed. These slopes might look quite strange, but I'll explain.

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3184/lmatvalentine4vk.png

See? =D

[Stijn]

K, cave stuff is done, Crimiclown will promptly post a version with them and slopes!!!

Those slope thingies I added look horrible but k

[CrimiClown]

Conclusion: Love is a perfect motivation to make tilesets. We have more than in LMAT Feb now. =D

SHARE THIS TILESET WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE!

Hooks attached to vines! =D

hahahahahaha no.

My two cents.

[CrimiClown]

Cooba is here! Grab everything you can take and run!!!!1

What's with the "hahahahahaha no."? =\

[Super_Jarno]

Hey this tileset is cool!

[Grytolle]

I'm currently working on "cave" tiles, and someone needs to make slopes indeed.Mm, one can only guess what a "cave" would be to hope for on a day of love :D

Oh, and this tileset looks awesomely cute.

[Odin]

This is awesome! I'm glad i'm a part of all of about 6 tiles.

[White Rabbit]

I...like it.

You need some up-side down sloped tiles as well...<s>I wish I could do them, but I don't want to.</s>

[n00b]

http://www.maj.com/gallery/Lijik/Letsmakeatileset/Valentines/lmatv3.png
Added a Heart dude, and a sad heart dude.
EDIT- Addded a textured BG, drawn, colored, and scanned

[CrimiClown]

I...like it.

Could someone else indeed make upside down slope tiles for my other slopes? It's not Valentine anymore (meaning I need to go to bed).

Anyway, I'm willing to make a CUUUUUUUUTE example level. Even mask the whole thing if needed.

[Odin]

When you compile the tileset, make the snow pink! =D

[Cheese]

sorry guys, i forgot a few important tiles
http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/8567/lmatv36yo.png
they are NON masked, by the way.
layer 5/6 or whatever stuff.
and more fancy ground thingamabob.

...and yes, this counts cuz it's still feb 14 (when I made this edit).

[Violet CLM]

<img src="http://www.tachyonlabs.com/sam/Mountains.png">
I am such a color hater.

[Black Ninja]

I demand that the tileset be titled "Single Awareness Day."

[fire_byrd08]

No this is not late according to my clock it was 11:59 when I hit send

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8240/vday2dn.png

They are meant for layer 3 for the "3-D" tiles

[Doubble Dutch]

So? Why not keep it going past valentines day? It lasts a total of 48 hours around the world!

[Neobeo]

So? Why not keep it going past valentines day? It lasts a total of 48 hours around the world!
even possibly 49 hours, if you count Nuku'alofa (Tonga)

[NovaStar]

Indeed.
Will sprite some stuff later as well as in LMAT February.

[Stijn]

In my own way of keeping time it's still valentine

http://stijn.fuzic.nl/j2o/lmat/valentine6.png

[Violet CLM]

I'm almost tempted to put some porn in, just so all the rules are broken, but nah.

[UNKNOWNFILE]

OMG PAGECLAIM IN THE NAME OF I'M SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING.

Anyways, nice work on the tileset so far.

[Stijn]

Animationssss!

http://stijn.fuzic.nl/j2o/lmat/valentine7.png

[CrimiClown]

Hmm... Okay, so when's the REAL deadline? =3

I'll add some upside down slopes this afternoon.

[cooba]

Hmm... Okay, so when's the REAL deadline? =3February 15th, 00:00 in GMT+12?

[CrimiClown]

http://img492.imageshack.us/img492/9/lmatvalentine21bm.png
A quick edit. Some upside down tiles and things to put your hooks on. And just be satisfied with the fact that I won't 'upside-down' my <s>oh so beautiful</s> ground tiles for Odin's platform... ;)

[CrimiClown]

By the way, I suggest we make the pallette work with pink snow (like said before) and Jazz and Spaz must have pink fur. =D

[Radium]

Okay guys, Valentine's day has ended in every time zone people care about. Does someone else want to complile/mask it or should I?

[Odin]

Besides, the only LMAT that was released in the past took three months. I think we can legthen this to like four days.

[CrimiClown]

Okay guys, Valentine's day has ended in every time zone people care about. Does someone else want to complile/mask it or should I?
If you would mask it, that'd be great. I'm not TOO good with it. As for the pallette, make everything PINK! Pink Jazz/Spaz, pink pinball stuff, pink snow... EVEYRTHING! O+

...Please. =3

I'll be willing to make an example level, though.

And, by the way, congrats on the good looking tileset, everyone. This sure is something to be proud of.

[Stijn]

I'd like to re-arrange tiles. And I just notice there are a few essential tiles missing, can they still be added (they're mainly "mixes" of existing tiles)?

[Radium]

[White Rabbit]

How will those hearts on the background show up when used in Texture Mode?

[Monolith]

That background doesn't look tileable.

[EvilMike]

This looks good so far but I really reccomend adding some colour variation. Right now everything is so... red. Maybe add some light pink, magenta, or other colours like that. Small amounts of other colours won't hurt either.

[Doubble Dutch]

I suggest we keep going till B&B day[March 14th] (look it up) Then we can spread the love!

[Black Ninja]

Once again, I demand it be named "Single Awareness Day."

Also, looking good.

[CrimiClown]

Single awareness day would be a good name. ;) Anyway, my job here is done. Tell me if you need someone to mask it or make an example level... I prefer doing the latter, but I won't mind doing both... I guess.

Edit: Yeah, I would mind masking.

[Olsen]

Haha, this is awesome. Cuteness. :>

[n00b]

That background doesn't look tileable.
Thank you, captain obvious.

[CrimiClown]

Just use half of it and flip... Unless it doesn't tile vertically, either... Ah, adding a new background would be nice. =D

[Radium]

[Stijn]

Too bad I use Paint Shop Pro.

You can't flip tiles in textured backgrounds.

[Radium]

Too bad I use Paint Shop Pro.I was just using photoshop as a verb, meaning "use your generic image editing program of choice to do cool stuff". PSP has a button to convert a selection to a seamless pattern. I used the middle 16 tiles so it had some stuff around the edges to copy the pattern from.

ive never seen this button :(

[Radium]

ive never seen this button :("Selections -> convert to seamless pattern" in PSP7. Not sure about earlier versions or later ones. It doesn't always work out on everything, but turned out pretty good on that texture.

[Birdie]

aww it's not in PSP 9 :(

[NovaStar]

Hey, I've still gotta add mine! I just need to re-do it tho, the computer stuffed up and I lost it.

[Stijn]

I was just using photoshop as a verb, meaning "use your generic image editing program of choice to do cool stuff".
I was being sarcastic ;D

ShadowRabbit, it's too late, the deadline has already passed.

[Radium]

I'm sure a few things can slip past the deadline, here.

[Odin]

Normal LMATs take like 5 months to get done, I think we can legthen this to a week or so.

[cooba]

Normal LMATs take like 5 months to get done...only one LMAT has been finished so far, though.

[Odin]

...only one LMAT has been finished so far, though.

This only further supports my point.

[Cheese]

aww it's not in PSP 9 :(
i don't know, it's in PSP8: Effects>image Effects>Seamless tiling.
try that. if it's not there....... look it up in the help file.

[fire_byrd08]

Could someone make a sprite for Unknown's "Heart Volcano" so it bubbles and pops? I suck at sprites.

http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/8903/chicken50nn.pngHere's a sucky V-Day gargoyle

[cooba]

http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/8903/chicken50nn.pngHere's a sucky V-Day gargoyleYou're almost a week late.

[Stijn]

And a gargoyle, pink or not, does not really fit in a valentine tileset (no discussions about fooruman please).

[Doubble Dutch]

Why not?

Even hideous stone demons need love!

[MSB3000]

I suggest we keep going till B&B day[March 14th] (look it up) Then we can spread the love!

Two days left...

[Doubble Dutch]

*sigh* Its either lazyness, or everyone here is preparing for B&B day. [I'm guessing the latter]

[CrimiClown]

Pageclaim.

Don't make me mask all of this! Someone volunteer! =(

[Stijn]

Oh right I still need to rearrange it and add Crimi's final tiles. Sorry 8D

[CrimiClown]

Oh right I still need to rearrange it and add Crimi's final tiles. Sorry 8D
Ah heck... I could mask the whole thing... Just give it to me and we're done. :)

[Stijn]

http://stijn.fuzic.nl/hd/vlmatsemifinished.png

Any comments before I start masking? I decided to leave out the 3D-ish platforms becausemost stuff was made for the 2D platforms.

[Fawriel]

I had to squint while looking at it.

...well, go for it, I guess.

[Stijn]

Anyone willing to do the palette? :(

[R3ptile]

finish this P.L.Z

[Doubble Dutch]

It has been abandonded and forgotten and wil never see the light of day.

[Black Ninja]

Too bad, it had Fooruman in it.

[R3ptile]

It has been abandonded and forgotten and wil never see the light of day.
lies

[Stijn]

indeed, lies.

The palette still has to be done however and I can't do that. Volunteers?

[R3ptile]

well i'd make the example level

[NovaStar]

Why don't we get whoever wants to make the example level to post here and when the tileset's done whoever has it first can send it to those people? Then the peeps wanting to make the example level can start creating, post a screenshot or two here and then the best level/s get chosen by the community.

[Grytolle]

let's make example level first, after that the palette

[Stijn]

ya next time first example level then masks then tileset

[Stijn]

Could someone please make a palette? I can provide all files needed, but as I have no experience doing it I'd rather not mess up.

[NOKA]

Could someone please make a palette? I can provide all files needed, but as I have no experience doing it I'd rather not mess up.
Perhaps I can make it, since 3 members of J2F asked in "private" to do it.. :P

[Stijn]

Great, could you contact me via MSN? I'm afraid I lost your address, but IIRC I am still in your contact list :)

[NOKA]

OK, I've done it, everything seems to work fine like snow, pinballs etc. Poles don't look too good thourgh, it is because everything in this set is so pinkish:P

I need a list of peaople who participated in making of this set so I can write down credits in masks.

[Stijn]

I will do that myself if you don't mind (I had some plans for the mask messages), you could just send me the bitmaps and I'll compile it myself. Be sure to put your own credit message in it in advance though, as it wouldn't actually be a working tileset without you :)

[NOKA]

k, just appear on MSN so I'll send u the files.

[CrimiClown]

...so, we've got a pallette.

Where's the set?

[Stijn]

On my harddrive somewhere, as good as finished

[Bboy Type7]

inspiring tileset. I'm planning on making a tileset that has characters in it where can interact with them. goob job on it Radium.

[n00b]

Yeah, Radium that was one killer tileset that you made all by yourself without anybody's help at all and surely did not simply contribute one tile to. How did you do it?

[cooba]

This one can be still finished before the year ends!

[Violet CLM]

LET'S GET THIS PUPPY ON J2O

[Troglobite]

Wow, I'm amazed by the sudden string of LMATs being finished.

[CrimiClown]

<s>December's</s> <s>Januari's</s> <s>Feb...</s> 2015's Featured Download.

[Stijn]

I think I sent the bitmaps to cooba somewhere last year, I don't know what happened after that. Can anyone clarify the current status?

[cooba]

I think I sent the bitmaps to cooba somewhere last yearI don't think you did...

[Stijn]

Reading back it appears things went slightly different indeed:

20:22 &lt; stijn> cooba||, do you still want to try finishing lmatvalentine? I don't think I can get it done in time
20:24 &lt; cooba||> i'm freshly after a disk format so
20:25 &lt; cooba||> i'd have to reinstall all my tools of the trade but I guess I could try
20:25 &lt; stijn> I couldn't find much more than is shown in http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showpost.php?p=374698&postcount=85
20:25 &lt; stijn> there's supposed to be a pallete version but I have no idea where
20:26 &lt; cooba||> hmph
20:26 &lt; cooba||> i was definitely counting on a palettized version
20:26 &lt; cooba||> oh well thanks

I somehow got it in my head that you'd agreed on doing it though so I haven't given it much thought since... well, previous Valentine's Day. Anyone else want to pick this up, go ahead, I guess.

I do recall that there's several important tiles missing though, for connections between some tiles. If someone could check that out that'd be great. I'll see if I can find the pallette version (the one who made them sent them to me over MSN once, but I can't remember who that was) but don't count on it (apologies!)

[Radium]

[...] and we won't finish by the end of V-Day.
<threeyears>

[zapS]

what is left to be done?

[cooba]

hey

[Treylina]

I don't see this happening. The latest images are broken, and there's no real environment. Along with most of the assets being poorly drawn.

I'll pass.

The latest LMAT, on the other hand, has some potential. SE was in the process of colouring the outlines.

[cooba]

trey hates valentines day news at 11

[Treylina]

If there was a LMAT halloween themed tileset with generic blocks and ripped assets (imagine orange and black blocks with ripped sprites and random bats/skeletons added), I would think the exact same way as this.

It's not the day, it's mostly the lack of true environment. And if I ever decided to work on it, I would just start all over again. Most of these tiles are about 2-10 minutes worth of effort for me. But there's far more interesting themes out there that I'd rather do. Nobody (except SE and me to an extent) wants to do LMAT anymore anyway.

[Stijn]

trey hates everything news at 11

[Stijn]

More seriously, apparently that "most recent version" I linked in my previous post in this thread is gone as well. I should probably have it on a hard drive somewhere, will try to find it.

[PurpleJazz]

Nobody (except SE and me to an extent) wants to do LMAT anymore anyway.

Not so fast! I'm still interested in contributing to another LMAT, but I haven't found the time nor the inspiration to do any work on them myself lately. I'm sure that's the case for others here too.

[Violet CLM]

Okay but unless you can state for sure that you <em>will</em> have time and (ideally) inspiration in the near future, that's functionally the same.

In any case, come on, we all know that Trey is right that <strong>this is a bad tileset.</strong> That's the real reason nobody's ever wanted to mask it. We don't need to make this about her.

[Stijn]

<strong>this is a bad tileset.</strong><img src="http://i.imgur.com/EEnOWO0.png" />

[Love & Thunder]

Nobody (except SE and me to an extent) wants to do LMAT anymore anyway.
I'd be interested in participating in a LMAT tileset(Although as you said, preferably not this one; it's already done and not that good...). Actually, I really wanted to see how the one with the hexagons would have turned out.

Hell, if people really wanted, I could mask this one, but again, this tileset is a bori.

[Sean]

Why not redo this whole thing using a better Valentine's Day theme? Make it something romantic, like a fancy restaurant or a moonlit beach with islands in the distance inexplicably shaped like hearts. Or hell, a fancy restaurant on a moonlit beach.

[Love & Thunder]

I would be up for that.

[Obi1mcd]

Apparently I've had a version with the palette fixed (http://i.imgur.com/YibQ9Tg.png) since March 2012.
Here's (http://i.imgur.com/Cq4uW3b.png) a mask image. I didn't know what half the stuff in the set was so I leaned heavily in favour of making things not solid.
If anyone has credits or is willing to dig through and find them, feel free to put them in a background somewhere and compile.

As far as future LMAT stuff goes I think the most likely thing to ever be finished is LMAT Octagons Edition.
A new one would sooner or later run into the same issues, ie a lack of backgrounds for starters. That's not to say it wouldn't be fun to work on one regardless of how likely it'd be to finish, though!

[Violet CLM]

Even some more color variety would do wonders. There's a lot of room for white here. And chocolates! Where are all the (heart-shaped) chocolates?

[Love & Thunder]

If someone's willing to make a background, all LMAT 2011(The Octagon one) would need is a mask(Which I could do), and then it'd finally be done.

Then we can start a new one and not have half of the thread taken up with "Shouldn't we finish that one from last time?"
