Oddworld Scene Creator using Tiled
 

For ease of use, this scene creator will use Tiled, which you should download and install. You could create scenes manually, but this will make it a lot simpler.

At the moment I am creating a tileset for the Necrum Mines:

1. 2-tile-long path: done
2. 3-tile-long-path: done
3. Path endings: done
4. Path-meets-wall: 0%
5. Raised (metal) paths: 0%
6. Some path embellishments: 10%
7. Foreground rocks + other embellishments: 0%
8. Background pieces: 0%
9. Objects (doors, levers etc): 0%
10. Creatures (Abe, Mudokons etc): 0%

The tileset can be found here. It doesn't contain much at the moment, and will need a lot of fixing, but you can use it for now.

NOTES:

To use in Tiled, create a map. Set the dimensions to what you will, BUT the tile size must be 45 x 45 pixels.

Then Map ->New Tileset -> and add this image.

You can now add tiles to the map as well as create new layers and do some other stuff.

---

Any maps you make now (not that you can do much) will be mucked up with a later version of the tileset, since the tiles are set by their position on the image, and I will be rearranging things.

---

Make sure you Save As... the image, and as a .png file to keep transparency.

---

Some parts don't quite match up. This could be because I did some swapping pieces around before, and parts that I'd made match before don't any more. This will be fixed, don't worry!

Obviously early days, but what's there looks good. I can picture this being very useful to anyone making a fan game.

Yes, I am already finding it much easier ot create backgrounds on a game I'm working on, this will be even better!

Will you get stuff from RuptureFarms aswell? :)

Using 16x16 tiles from the ripped cam images of AO might be a good idea too, so you wont have to scale them or cut objects out of the way

Ripped cam images?

Anyway, I've done more since the first post, but I've been busy with a lot of other stuff so it's not a lot. Too little to bother posting, really; I will work more on this when I have time, though.

+rep and heavily agreeing with Grieva: If this tile-set gets large enough I can guaranty it will become a valuable archive to the oddworld fan-game-makers of these forums!

Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more.
