LMAT (February)

Alright, so we're at it again. However, this time we're introducing the ability to vote for removal of other tiles if one thinks that some of the tiles should be removed. This is to make the designing process simpler and more arrived at upon consensus. While we would like people to follow them out of respect for their fellow JCF members, we can't force them as it's not like we have a copyright on the original graphics or anything.

Finished product, three and half a month later



Rules/Restrictions/Guidelines:
  • Adding tiles from the previous LMAT editions is not allowed.
  • There are no official color restrictions. You may draw in 8-bit, 16-bit, or however you want. After the tileset image will be assembled, Tilesetpal will be used to attempt to reduce the tileset to a reasonable number of colors if it is an issue.
  • 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. You may only edit a tile if it is still recognizable as the same tile once you are done with it. Never redraw an existing tile from scratch.
  • You may alter the tile order as little or as much as you want when updating the tileset.
  • 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 which tiles (or sections of tiles) you want removed. The voting period is two days long (read: short), and a 75% (3/4) majority of YES votes is required for the desired tiles to be removed. You may not initiate a vote for another two days after the previous voting period.
  • Do not include a Palette tile.
  • Please refrain from posting textured backgrounds until we have an idea of what the tileset is like. Eventually, one textured background (if more than one are submitted) will be picked to be used in the tileset.
  • If you really do not want some of your tiles to be edited, for whatever reason, specify this clearly.
  • Don't worry about masking. I (or a helpful volunteer if one exists) will compile a mask for the tileset once the tileset image is assembled. If I (or the volunteer) am unsure of how to mask a tile, and no instructions were provided in the post that introduced the tile, the creator of the tile will be contacted about it.
  • 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.
  • Enjoy, and don't be afraid to ask questions!
