Oddworld Scene Creator using Tiled

[enchilado]

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!

[Jango]

Will you get stuff from RuptureFarms aswell?

[Paul]

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

[enchilado]

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.
