Note also that your tileset must be a fixed size (32 pixels wide and a multiple of 32 pixels high) and must be in 16-bit .BMP format (Paint and any other program worth its salt can handle this).

Don't mislead people, please.

Note also that your tileset must be a fixed size (320 pixels wide and a multiple of 32 pixels high) and must be an 8-bit .BMP or .PCX image (also .ANM and maybe some others) (Paint and any other program worth its salt can handle this).

I wasn't trying to mislead him. I just haven't made a tileset in forever. Apparently my memory is worse than I thought. Sorry about that.

Make 2 bitmaps that only use 255 colors and compile them.

Sorry for lameness. Anyway, it's quite easy once you understand the basics. As Violet said, read those topics on JCSRef before you start.

Lies@Trafton. It doesn't matter how high the tileset is, as long as it's more then 31 pixels high. Several of my tilesets accidently got their height resized to something that's not a multiple of 32. Just incase, don't do what I did and not make it a multiple of 32.
