A more subjective disadvantage is that it clutters up the tileset. I'm fine with adding tiles to increase the flexibility of a tileset - indeed, I'd generally encourage it - but you've added tiles that don't increase flexibility at all, like all those plants. Somehow I doubt anyone's going to use those upside-down and sideways ones (especially since you didn't bother to change the glass shine). The "escaped" plants could look nice, but as-is they're just blatant copy-paste jobs.

And yes, I remember the PM you sent me telling me that I included too many (all) of the fan frames in my conversion.


The closed plant boxes have the distorted background (same as the circular lens tiles near the top). The broken ones have the regular background. The distorted background looks pretty weird in JJ2 in the first place, but mixing them both together like that is just strange.

Incidentally, my original plan was to get a textured background working that was close to the JJ1 distorted background, but I found it to be too much work.
I still think 32 frames is crazy and kinda stupid. I think that's a matter of taste.

Also the shine on the boxes are gone becuase the glass is broken :/

I think there really isn't any point in going on. The way I see it, we have very different views on how a conversion should be made. It's fine, I encourage the feedback to help improve the tileset. However, I'm not going to change much of what you said becuase I don't have the same views.
