LMAT (August ][)

[cooba]

None of you saw this coming did you? :p

<ul><li>Adding tiles from the previous LMAT editions is not allowed.<li>There are no official color restrictions. You may draw in 8-bit, 16-bit, or however you want.<li>When updating the tileset, you may also edit existing tiles - this includes changing the colors, making them bigger, fixing small bugs, changing the shading, etc.<li>If you're working on something big and request people to not make additions until you're done (they won't be accepted if they will be of really low quality), you have two days to finish your addition. Else, people will be able to add tiles again.<li>If you have already successfully contibuted to the tileset, and think that some of the tiles should be deleted from the main tileset image, you may initiate a vote for removal of those tiles. You have to precisely indicate that you're initiating a vote, and which tiles (or sections of tiles) you want removed. The voting period is two days long, and a 75% (3/4) majority of YES votes is required for the desired tiles to be removed.<ul><li>You may not initiate a vote for another two days after the previous voting period.<li>If an addition is vastly below the whole tileset's quality standard, it may be removed without the voting process.<li>You may delete your own tiles at will, unless they're heavily integrated with the rest of the set.<li>The vote's outcome isn't acceptable if no one has voted.</ul><li>Do not include a Palette tile.<li>Please refrain from posting textured backgrounds until we have an idea of what the tileset is like.<li>If you really do not want some of your tiles to be edited, for whatever reason, specify this clearly, but keep in mind that people might then not use your tiles at all.<li>Logical content rules apply. Do not use the tileset to contain attacks against other people, pornographic or oherwise illegal images, links to illegal web-sites, or stuff like that. Use your common sense.<li>Enjoy, and don't be afraid to ask questions!</ul>

I didn't have much to work with. It doesn't need to be the primary ground, but it does fit with the color scheme and general feel of the elevator. Could someone else expand it, with corners and T-junctions and thicker ground and such? I'm getting lazy.
EDIT: Also, how would that elevator thing work if you wanted it to span multiple tiles? Wouldn't it jump a tad bit when the platform goes off the tile?

[minmay]

Yes, it would, and only you have the power to fix it.

[Risp_old]

I'm not going to do EVERYTHING here D=
Someone else take a turn D=

[Birdie]

Added two tiles to fix the elevator, added Tjunctions.

Weakest update yet, but I've always liked levels with smashy generator thingies. It's the biproduct of playing Battery Check

[Kuraj]

<snip>

[Stijn]

Hey dude, my request was serious.

[minmay]

I'm glad I'm not you.

[Risp_old]

I just made a version of Birdie's things that waste a lot less tile space. I'll wait till Stijin posts his version then I'll just intigrate mine to it, okay?

[Stijn]

Oh sorry, I was busy so I stopped working on it but forgot to remove my STOP POSTING thingy. Go ahead.

[Risp_old]

Alright. Bam. This turned out to be a larger change then I thought it would be at first.
http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/funniset2.bmp
+ Corners
+ Four-way junctions
Now all non-end and non-block tiles have varieties both with lines down the middle and without. Use the lines as eyecandy.
Now also there aren't any unneeded repeat tiles.

[Risp_old]

Sorry for the double post, but I just noticed some of my shading was done horribly wrong. I'm fixing that right now.


EDIT- Done.
http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/funniset3.bmp
Now the shading is no longer screwy. As an added bonus, there are now wrecked-up tiles as a bit more ground-based eyecandy!

[minmay]

While I am not going to actually add something to the tileset, I say someone should:

- add wrecked versions of the other tiles (c'mon, it'd come in SO HANDY)

- add darker background versions (wrecked ones, too)

[Risp_old]

One last update for today...

http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/funnisetaddition.bmp
Could someone tack this onto the tileset? It's more damaged blocks and also scaffolding-ish stuff for cave background and eyecandy and stuff. Someone else can do the damaged other tiles. Or I can do them tomorrow or something.

[cooba]

So much for my plans to give the blocks a texture D:

[minmay]

Lovely.

I still want my background-ish darker colored blocks D=

[ThunderPX]

My attempts sucked, but I think there should be some red brick wall tiles to give the set some more colour variation.

[minmay]

And electricity-conductor things.

[Risp_old]

I'm getting lazy.

[blurredd]

This is a test:

http://www.jazz2online.com/d3/liquidtest.gif

Which comes from this (http://www.jazz2online.com/d3/liquid001.png).

They are supposed to be ground tiles that go on top of the blue blocks or whatnot. I plan on making additions if people like these tiles. If this gets used, I insist the animating tiles be kept aligned in one column for ease of use.

[Ðx]

I like it! :):O!

[General Hare]

What about things that hurt (just intrested)?

[cooba]

Then draw them yourself 8)

[General Hare]

Then draw them yourself 8)

I'm not too good at drawing on PC. But also i tried showing the pic but it won't show.

[zapS]

http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/funniset3.bmp
I have added the extra tiles and drawn a hurt tile, hope it looks ok.

[minmay]

Nice. I think the tileset is about done now except for a background.

[Risp_old]

And destruct blocks. And sucker tubes. And signs. And non-ground eyecandy. And warps. And poles. And water blocks, maybe. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting other things also.

[minmay]

The broken blocks would make good destruct blocks, but I will give you the rest of those things.

[Risp_old]

I made those background blocks someone requested a while ago. Also, I made warps things.
http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/funnisetaddition2.bmp
The upper animation is the warp thing. It's meant to be a collumn, and the animation is meant to be set to ping-pong. Make it transparent too.
The lower animation is ends of the collumn. Put it at the bottoms and tops of warp energy collumn things.

Excuse the crappy shading, I'm not as good with animation.

EDIT: After Rad complained that the warp collumn wasn't warp-like enough, I made a change. Use this instead. Also, the independant sparklies are one animation, I just had to break them up into two places.

http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/funnisetaddition2b.bmp

[minmay]

Yay, someone incorporate that into the tileset.

[zapS]

i can do that;)

[zapS]

Done!
http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/funniset3b.bmp
I also added some more blocks.:-)
Do you think we need them?

[Risp_old]

Yes, they will be helpful. Could someone arrange them better so they aren't all over the place? I'm tired at the moment, and I think the tileset's organization could use a little work, though Zaps did improve it some.

[Hareoic]

http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/1654/tilesetrc1.png

Sorry about the PNG extension. Imageshack did that automatically, shouldn't change anything.

[minmay]

The darker versions need to be a bit darker, now that I look at it.

<font size=-3>Someone make darker elevator platform things!</font>

[KRSplat]

They should be much darker IMO

[Risp_old]

The darker versions need to be a bit darker, now that I look at it.

<font size=-3>Someone make darker elevator platform things!</font>
The darker versions were meant to be unmasked versions, I thought. Unmasked elevator tiles would be... pointless at best.

[zapS]

or perhaps the lighter versions need to be a bit lighter?

[zapS]

Now i have arranged them better, what do you think?
I have also made the dark ones a little bit darker.http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/tilesetfixdrk.bmp
now we need some buttstomp/shoot blocks and signs(and perhaps a hook?).

[zapS]

http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/tilesetfixdrk2.bmp
one more fix and a hook!

[Camou]

Just want to say that I like it and I'd use it :)

[zapS]

im workin on a sucker tube now:)

[Hareoic]

I have the signs in progress.

Edit: Actually, they're done already.

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/6864/tilesetdd0.png

Tried to make them look monolithic. If somebody wants to make them look more so, be my guest.

[zapS]

what's monolithic?:confused:

[Hareoic]

what's monolithic?:confused:

Like a monolith, one of those big stone tablets that have writing on them.

[zapS]

well, here's the sucker tube.
http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/tileset.bmp
:-)

[zapS]

ok, i'm swedish if you wonder.
so you want it to look more like a stone tablet??

[minmay]

This tileset is officially going to be awesome.

[Hareoic]

ok, i'm swedish if you wonder.
so you want it to look more like a stone tablet??

Well, more like obsidian really. If that's possible. But still keeping with the color scheme.

[zapS]

... hrm, starting to feel quite stupid now:confused:
what's obsidian??

[zapS]

anyway...
time to do a background soon, I think.
what about a sky with stars?
the tileset looks like some sort of spacestation or what do you think?

[Violet CLM]

<a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/obsidian">...obsidian.</a>

Just a thought, but you might want to spend a little more time on layer 4 before starting in on a backround... as it is, this tileset is pretty basic and unvaried. I don't really see any reason to use it for anything.

[zapS]

you've got a point there;)

[Fawriel]

Space station is the cheapest thing ever. And so are most skies with stars.
I'd say we should have some rocks of the same color as the blocks to make it look like the structures were carved into the stone. Stone spires and stuff for the background.
...we should definitely find something to vary the color-scheme a bit, though.

[Risp_old]

Yes. I didn't mean for those platforms to be the ONLY ground D=

[Fawriel]

If nobody does it before me, I will attempt to make some rock-ground tomorrow after I got some sleep, which I am in a dire need of right now.


I envision the tileset to be cave-like, however, not exactly a cave.. besides, caves are overused in any genre of games.
Imagine a mountain or canyon with extremely complex cavern systems inside. You can see mountains in the background, through cracks, big holes and openings in the mountain walls, maybe a river flowing there, a canyon would be a nice idea, I think.
And inside these caverns, some native society built their homes.
I love the idea. I should make a sketch of what I have in mind to be able to illustrate it better, I think you'd like it.

[n00b]

I envisioned the set to take place underwater. Like a Hi-tech atlantis labratory.
But since I don't have an extensive writeup like Faw, we'll have to go with his idea.
However, having a vague idea could produce much more imaginitive tiles than a more outlined one. Then again a vague plan could lead to another September mishap.

[Violet CLM]

It's a bit straight-lined and non-tilted for this, but it kind of reminds me of an abandoned factory or laboratory or something sinking into this giant lake of glowing green acid, and everything's abandoned and/or radioacitive and alive.

[Fawriel]

Hmmm, I see.

Well, for those interested, here's the sketch: http://chaos.foxmage.com/canyonthing.jpg
The numbers of course denote layers. Layers 5+6 may also be made into a single layer, I guess, but it wouldn't allow for flowing water.
Both the water and sky should be a bright blue to make a pleasent contrast to the murky colors inside. The background canyon and rocks should be of the same color as the ground, except paler, of course, which would create a sense of depth and close the tileset by showing the player that they are inside such a rock.
Also, I tried to make clear that the rocks ought to have depth. I dislike how many tileset makers just make a texture for the ground, then give it a one or two-pixel border and call it a job well done. Borders with a real sense of depth are harder to do, but should be worth it.

Well, that's just an idea. Either of yours' could work as well.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, the water should be layer 7 for the same reason why the stone spires should be layer 5.

[Fawriel]

Sorry for the double post, but...

http://chaos.foxmage.com/crystallyground.bmp

How do you like these?
...well, I'm not really fond of them myself. I'm not too experienced with tilesets. Feel free to disregard them.

[zapS]

Well, I think the idea with the abandoned factory/laboratory is good.
Because that's what the tileset looks like right now.

[Fawriel]

What it looks like right now is frankly quite unoriginal, though. So are factories and laboratories. Buildings sinking into lakes, on the other hand, are not. We have to expand the theme somehow.

[zapS]

here is a computer!
and I've put all the colors used in a little palette.
http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/tileset2.bmp

[Hareoic]

If it sunk, there should be cracks in the walls where water leaks in. I'd do that, but I'm not good at drawing/animating water.

[cooba]

I still think the blocks should be given a texture instead of blank grayish blue color... ;|

[Fawriel]

Not everything needs texture. Go cartoony graphics. >O

Also, I like how nobody said anything about my two recent distributions.

[cooba]

Well uh yeah.. the background as you envision it is an example of style over functionality. There won't be much possibilites with such a background, and every level will look the same therefore.

And the texture doesn't look too good, sorry D;

[Fawriel]

Well, I guess so. But except for the sky, which should be textured, all the background elements could also be exchangable and we could give alternatives. ...besides, most tileset backgrounds are kind of like that, aren't they.

[zapS]

I like fawriels idea too.
what about combining it with violets.
I think that's a good idea.

[cooba]

Uh, I wouldn't want another tileset with a lake of acid myself. <s>Even if I was responsible for the one in Kansas.</s> Just go with water.

[zapS]

ok, but abandoned laboratories inside the mountains and cavern systems.
what about that?

[Hareoic]

Uh, I wouldn't want another tileset with a lake of acid myself. <s>Even if I was responsible for the one in Kansas.</s> Just go with water.

How about oily water instead?

Although that might take too many shades of purple and such...

Unless it's just black.

[Violet CLM]

I vote for it floating in an ocean of chicken noodle soup.

[Murderbeam]

No, That would be Nonsensical.
Floating in a ocean of Sewage!

[Hareoic]

Floating in a ocean of Sewage!

Probably would require a larger palette than we would want.

[Fawriel]

Can't we just make a *pretty* set? D=

[Birdie]

Can't we just make a *pretty* set? D=
I agree =(

[Olsen]

Nice work, everyone who contributed. :)

To contribute myself, I'd say the tileset looks nice, but very bland. Too much blue/black. :E

[zapS]

Here is another ground tile:)
http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/groundtile.bmp
How do you like it?
(the thing to the right is just all colors used, 8 colors)

[ThunderPX]

[Fawriel]

Here is another ground tile:)
http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/groundtile.bmp

(the thing to the right is just all colors used, 8 colors)
It's very good...

But, two things.. one, I don't think it really fits into the tileset..
Secondly, it also doesn't have.. depth.. but I guess I'm not the director of the project or anything. If people like it, it's in.

[zapS]

what do you mean with "depth"?
(just want to make it better)
what color do you think the other ground tiles (on your sketch)
should have?:rolleyes:

[Birdie]

what color do you think the other ground tiles (on your sketch)
should have?:rolleyes:
I would suspect a purpleish color.

[Fawriel]

Yeah, as I said. I'd like it to look like the blocks were made out of the very same material. The color could be slightly off, but.. yeah.

And with depth.. I mean the outline. It's a little hard to explain. Take, for example, the Inferno tilesets. It has tiles where there's actual shading and stuff at the border. This creates an illusion of depth, it makes the wall look more three-dimensional.
Also, in the same tileset, you walk on some kind of layer on top of the rock. This also has depth.
However, I'd like for the rock to have a rounder edge... ...I guess I'll have to try again myself if I want to explain this. *sigh*

[NovaStar]

I'm recoloring the warpy thingy to light light green. I'll only be 10 minutes max.

[cooba]

...so I take it my piston (not elevator.....) animation could as well be taken away the tileset since it's off the theme?

[NovaStar]

Huh?
Yay, I don't have to edit my post ^_^
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4964/lmataug2du4.png

...I nearly spelt "post" as "pot". =)

[Hareoic]

Can't we just make a *pretty* set? D=
That's what I'm trying to make.

[Doubble Dutch]

I dunno; there's something to be said for 'ugly' tilesets.

It all just depends how well the tiles work together.

[Fawriel]

I think there are enough of those.. I can't think of many sets that I'd describe as beautiful, even just a little beautiful. Agama's sets and perhaps some by Moonblaze. Can't think of any others.

[Hareoic]

Beautiful, in my mind, is synonymous with colorful or vivid. And since there's a limited number of colors that can be used in a tileset, there aren't really very many tilesets that would qualify.

[zapS]

well, how about this one then?:)
purple color and more depth(i hope)
http://www.freewebs.com/dvugglan/groundtile2.bmp
what do you think?

[cooba]

Good enough for me.

[NovaStar]

...what's with the green on top?

[zapS]

it is just the background.
if the tile is going into the tileset we will change the bgcolor of course.;)

[Hareoic]

So the walls will be green? Or will the outside be green? Because bright green-walled caverns are uncommon for a reason.

[cooba]

So the walls will be green? Or will the outside be green? Because bright green-walled caverns are uncommon for a reason.Nothing will be green, he just used a green background to make it easier to draw the tile...

[zapS]

Nothing will be green, he just used a green background to make it easier to draw the tile...

exactly!!:D was it really that hard to figure out for the two other guys???:rolleyes:

[minmay]

And green is a typical transparent color.

[zapS]

yeah, it is...
but i still want to know what all of you think about the tile(not the bgcolor;))

[Olsen]

I like it.

[NovaStar]

Goodies!

[Cheese]

I think that there should be some white blocks along with the black ones.

Also, I have conjured up some kind of background to use on layer 7
behind some mountains or something.

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8350/spirecs4.png
Go ahead and edit this to fit in, and I know I did a really crappy job on the
black rocks :P

EDIT:
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9640/image9xn5.png

Some brick-ish tiles to go with the spire ;)

[Hareoic]

Is it coming out of the ground or out of some angry looking clouds?

[Ðx]

''Go ahead and edit this to fit in, and I know I did a really crappy job on the
black rocks :P''

[zapS]

were the brickish tiles meant to be background stuff or layer4 blocks?

[zapS]

well, if you liked my last tile then i'm going to make some slopes and other tiles in the same style.

[Cheese]

were the brickish tiles meant to be background stuff or layer4 blocks?

Actually, either, it doesnt really matter.

[White Rabbit]

I say we turn all the brickish tiles into British tiles. :D

[Risp_old]

Go right ahead, is what I say. This tileset needs more colour!

[Cheese]

I say we turn all the brickish tiles into British tiles. :D


http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/1023/britishblocksxk7.png

you mean like this? :rolleyes: ;-)

[Risp_old]

If it weren't for the fact that that'd look really strange if the bricks were used in any pattern besides that one, I'd say that's actually an improvement.

[NeonPSY]

http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/693/lmatyt9.png

Ok. Blue screen of death and junk that hurts and junk that doesn't. Plus a sign. You can remove the sign if you want. I don't care.

[Fawriel]

...looks like the project stopped working as soon as I suggested my complicated theme.
I apologize if that was the reason.

[Risp_old]

The reason for me was that school started.

[zapS]

same here;)
i'm done with one of the slopes now, soon the tiles are ready:).

[zapS]

now they are ready!:)
just have to get them from the other computer.

[BattleSpaz]

This is a tileset that could even be used. YOu are making great job with this... just finish it and make masks... <S>*COUGH*Icantmakemyowntilescuzisuck*COUGH*</S>

[Radium]

Wow, those are pretty nice.

Someone needs to make transition tiles now.

[n0]

I'll take the transition pieces, before anyone else starts working on them.

[Jerrythabest]

looks awesome so far. I really really really liked Fawriel's idea, it's a nice theme and IMO it goes well with the tiles that have been made already. if this tileset isn't going to be like that, I'd love to help faw and make another tileset with that theme. =)

[cooba]

I love how Fawriel always suggests complicated themes and then does no work on them.

[Jerrythabest]

at least he has a good idea others could work on ;) his theme is great!

[Fawriel]

I love how Fawriel always suggests complicated themes and then does no work on them.
It's a lifestyle. \o/





....well, as I presented already, I'm just not good with tilesetty stuff, especially not within the time I'm willing to spend on drawing stuff for it.
I won't ever really be able to use it anyway ( well, able to, kind of, but that's a long story ).

[Jerrythabest]

I like stories =D tell me! XD

back to the topic: this tileset could use red and green tiles too, those three colors go perfectly together

[Olsen]

Wow, nice! :)
I kind of like this tileset.

[n0]

Well, I have the transistion tiles done, but imageshack isn't working or something, so could someone with a working internet or hosting site or something contact me? Like, I don't know, Radium?

[Fawriel]

Way to go!

So, uh, which idea are we using? I lost track.

[Jerrythabest]

all?:D give level makers something to choose!

[n00b]

Like the choice betweem TSF and 1.23?
We have about 4 different themes that at times contradict each other and each would either be too big for 1.23, or two small if we squeeze them all in.
I'd rather have 1 good tileset, than 1 terrible one with identity problems.

[Grytolle]

You rock, n00b

[Jerrythabest]

eh.. I were joking :P as said, I like faw's theme best.. but we might be able to combine some stuff

[zapS]

well i think i will try to put all these things together.

[Jerrythabest]

good luck :O

how come these LMATS always die?

This one haven't, it just takes some time. Quality=time, mostly.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Is anyone still working on this?

[NovaStar]

I have no idea. Erm, why aren't my tiles in as an alternative? I got no comments or anything, it isn't an invisible post...

[ShadeJackrabbit]

This one looked cool. Can I have the tileset image if nobody else is gonna make it?

[Birdie]

it will eventually be finished, but there aren't enough tiles submitted yet really.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Well why didn't anyone say so? What's needed?

[Jerrythabest]

First of all, a theme.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

How about a temple of some sort? For an evil lizard cult?

[Olsen]

Alright, folks.

I talked with zapS, and he has put the tileset together, he just needs to access internet and upload it. I don't know when, exactly, but soon.

He has a little message; Continue adding more things. ;)

[n00b]

How about a temple of some sort? For an evil lizard cult?
How about you come up with a theme, make a bunch of GOOD tiles that showcase that theme, thereby forcing us to use your theme.

If we all tried something like that we'd have no time wasted coming up with silly things like themes.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Okay. i will. Can anybody give me a GOOD template for tilesets. Epic's is meh...

[Birdie]

Okay. i will. Can anybody give me a GOOD template for tilesets. Epic's is meh...
...If you need a template I HIGHLY doubt that the tiles will be very good. ;\

[ShadeJackrabbit]

The grid. How can you make properly fitting tiles without a grid.

[Birdie]

If you were using the right software it could automatically create a grid for you.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

What software can do that? (I honestly don't know.)

[minmay]

It's called a grid tool.

[PurpleJazz]

And you can use it in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro.

[Jerrythabest]

and in the Gimp, right?

[zapS]

ok! here it is!

Nevermind about the Grid. I can get it from DTR. (Disguise's Tileset Resource.) Tileset looks... odd. But if it used in the right way...

I kind of liked this tileset better without Cheese's influence&nbsp;

[Camou]

I think the pillar should be darker... right now it doesn't fit in with the rest imo...

[Jerrythabest]

better make a second one, which is darker, so that the JCSer can choose if the pillar must be very bright or that it must be a bit in the background, that it doesnt jump right out of your screen

[Stijn]

The obelisk's perspective just looks weird to me, don't really know why.

[ThunderPX]

It doesn't 'end' in the same perspective at the bottom as the top. In other words, it isn't right, but I guess the user is expected to make it drop off the bottom of the level.

-quote-

I'm just wondering where Cooba said that since I can't find that quote anywhere in this thread.

[Violet CLM]

The obelisk is drawn to end in the black rock/cloud stuff.

sorry!
just thought it could be useful to see which colors are used and how many more colors we can add.
feel free to remove it.

Still, a palette in a tileset being worked on isn't too much of a harm, is it? :)

Suppose so.

[zapS]

why doesn't anyone do something to this tileset?

[Jerrythabest]

because we are either lazy, do not care or are contented with the tileset as it is

[PurpleJazz]

I'd like to help.

[Jerrythabest]

no, you should wait until it's done and then make a + version of it :P

[Saphir]

Bump.
I could try making some tiles here but not if I'm the only one interested.

[Jerrythabest]

I'll make something ;) I really wonder what it's going to be


so you are not the only one interested ;) go ahead =D

[cooba]

Or, how about starting a new LMAT?

[PurpleJazz]

Sounds like a good idea.

[Saphir]

Well yea, but it's a shame to abandon all these neat tiles :(

[cooba]

I assume you could finish this one, too.

Starting now.

[Jerrythabest]

sign up to the LMAL project too :p its being dead now ;(:O

Brilliant Purplespaz, now instead of working on additions to the ground such as diagonals we must waste precious time making it tile

[PurpleJazz]

I've just tested it, and it does tile!

[Jerrythabest]

after all these months I think time isnt an issue anymore, so just waste time if you want :P

[CrimiClown]

If you looked closely, it doesn't. There's a stroke of black that doesn't tile... Look.

And here is the fixed one:

Purplejazz actually. Ignore my Avatar. I was going to be called Purplespaz but someone else that that nick-name on J2O already. And Purplejazz sounds cooler. ;D

Just because my nick-name has "Jazz" in it, I don't nessacarily have to play as Jazz. ;-)

[PurpleJazz]

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8008/lmat2007edit1zq5.png

Added some diagonals.

... is that using the fixed tile I showed you? I can't be bothered to check...

[PurpleJazz]

Yes.

[n00b]

NO. We must finish by the looming August deadline!! This can't still be going on by the time August ]|[ goes live!

[PurpleJazz]

*Continues working on this set*

[Violet CLM]

I would do something, but despite staring at the set, I can't figure out a thing to add to it other than background layers, and it needs more layer 4 variety first. Does anyone have any ideas?

[CrimiClown]

Robot cowboys from Venus... and an espressomachine.

Maybe this image might give people ideas?

[ThunderPX]

What does Purplejazz's tile have to do with the rest of the set in the first place?

[Fawriel]

That's what I'm wondering, too.
I guess he drew inspiration from that picture, which is awesome and could be drawn inspiration from if the tileset was going my direction, but....... it does not fit at all...

[Jerrythabest]

yeh lets put in some tiny buses =D :P:lol:

at least there is something now to build on.

I'll try thinking of somehting to add

[PurpleJazz]

This is a different LMAT than the other one...

Add more layer 4 variety.
So far I've made, but not uploaded, a hurt tile for the more natural ground (semi-decent) and parts of a layer 4 backgroud for the same ground (lame).

[GoldRabbit]

i can make letters and colored-only tiles so this can be a test tileset :P

[Olsen]

so this can be a test tileset :P

Now that would be a way to waste a good looking tileset if I saw it.

[GoldRabbit]

yeah...that would waste this cool unfinished tileset...NO MORE ADDINGS!?someone pls finish this tileset i havent enough memory to download any image editor.pls!!!!

[Olsen]

MsPaint?

Or perhaps you are using some kind of Linux based system? (Although I think some kind of Imageeditor is included in those too, but perhaps not.)

[Jerrythabest]

all normal operating systems come with a drawing program... <strike>even Vista!</strike>

[zapS]

vista doesn't come with an image editor????

[Olsen]

vista doesn't come with an image editor????

Ofcourse it does, dear friend. I think what Jerrythabest refered to was that it is obvious that Vista has an image editor.

It's a little vague, though. I must say, I'm not really sure what he meant either.

[zapS]

some tiles added by Plin :)
come on everybody! keep adding tiles!!!

[Fawriel]

I say we just leave it like this and give zapS(/Plin?) all the credit.

[Birdie]

I rather agree with faw.

[n0]

I'll add a textured background when I get home and have time, but after that I think we can call it good. (Although zaps should get only most of the credit, not all of it.)

[GoldRabbit]

you get home?xD

[BattleSpaz]

This LMAT looks VERY nice. I hope I could add tiles there too, but I quite cant do anything like that :/ ... When and IF this LMAT is ready, I could use this in a level.

[$ÏMØÑ]

And please add letters :P

I will use it, when its finish, for a test-tileset^^

[GoldRabbit]

I would do that but...Now that would be a way to waste a good looking tileset if I saw it.

[FQuist]

If it makes hotels look better even if 'degrading' the tileset, why not ;-)

[P¼ul]

lets finish this tileset already :mad:

I made a background because someone forgot to promise to make one

<img src="http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/pfourul/lmatBG.png" />
the bg also has a palette already

[Jerrythabest]

Looks cool =) I guess it's a textured bg?

[P¼ul]

yes it's textured, genius

[P¼ul]

I also let myself do some destruct scenery
<img src="http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/pfourul/destructblocks.png">

[n00b]

Those are really nice destruct blocks

[zapS]

should we put these things together again?

[Birdie]

I'm not sure the textured BG p4ul made would look very good while tiling.

[Neobeo]

It's pretty tileable. Well, actually the black spots that appear when tiling it spoil it somewhat.

[Jerrythabest]

it looks really great, just copypaste some in paint and see, it doesn't even need to be a textured background :D

[cooba]

<img src="http://www.chaos.foxmage.com/pfourul/lmatBGv2.png" />

All you had to do is changing the palette -_-

[Jerrythabest]

Click on the page to toggle bedween the two versions of the background ;p then you can compare easier ;p :p

Could you fix the javascript so it works in more than just Firefox? Nothing happens in Internet Explorer or Opera.

[Jerrythabest]

I have no idea why it doesn't work in those browsers... There appear no errors or warnings in the javascript debug window, and those happen to appear really easily, even for scripts that turn out to be working completely fine, so just use FF.

[Valco]

I had some ideas, if only I was good at making tilesets... :(

[zapS]

you can at least try to do something :)

[n0]

http://chaos.foxmage.com/n0/lmatmg.bmp

Like, whoa, an update!

Changes: The background fence thing now tiles right, two new types of goop, four more signs, some unsmashed lockers, a couple more animations for our friend the computer, and integrated the background and destruct blocks previously provided.

So... I think we could probably use a bit more eyecandy, such as ruined security cameras, some office chairs, and some sort of layer7 eyecandy (mountains, plains, ruined city... something)

After that a pallet and a masking and then a release!

[FireSworD]

Well that took a while. I'd like to ask permission on the example level? :)

[cooba]

I'd like to give the palette a try when the set is done. ;)

(oh and can the piston at the top be removed? :()

[Stijn]

I like the "piston", it'd be useful for sliding doors in for example Assault or Single Player levels I suppose.

[Ricerind]

The piston is nice. Also, the textured background rocks!

[Jerrythabest]

you forgot the rest of the tiles. They rock ;p
