Title: [RESOLVED] Ugly background to objects...

How can I fix that?


And I have another question: I'm using the "Dark Forest" tileset, so how can I get houses/boats ect, to use?

its called layers lol. have the grass and bottom things on the first layer, trees and flowers on the second layer, say anything above those trees or flowers on the third layer. also check out some of the map tutorials to properly understand layers, and effective mapping.

Import the tileset again, but before you say ok, click the white part of it in the preview window. Also, right click the shadows under the trees.

As for the second question - you can't. You see, what's on tileset - you can use it. If you want to use more than what is on the tileset, you have to merge two tilesets (or more) using program like Photoshop.

Then you have to go to the database under tilesets, load the new tileset and carefully select passability, priority, etc.

Then load it into a map or start a new map with this new tileset.

SEARCH the web for tilesets, people are merging them.

Yeah, lol! He didn't even took a look at the screenshot. The tileset at the left is obviously correctly set up. I should add a [RESOLVED] to the topic title...

What?

Did you look at the editor window? There's a white block around all of the trees, so I assumed that was the problem. What the fuck guys?

Arrow is not right. You could tell frm the TRANSULANT shadows ON the white border that it WAS set. Apart from that, you could see in the editopr that LAYER 1 was active.

Who says he had dimming activated on the other layers? And how can you tell that it is translucent if in fact, that is exactly what it looks like on the tileset? But it doesn't matter, apparently the problem has been solved, and does not require furthre debate on our parts.

Er...I didn't blame you, I take full responsibility. (Though you did say I was spouting bullshit) I'm just saying that at this point it's spam.
