or is it friggin impossible to have all the chips you need on a single set -_-
I'm trying to build a Manor...and it's like, next to impossible; either I don't have the right chip, or at least the ones I have aren't going together the right way. I can't imagine what it's going to be like building a castle!
I'm not doing the outside, I'm working on the outside.
Tips, thoughts, comments, etc.??
easy, open each in paint, check out the width and lenght of each, open a new file add the total height of the other two, and set that as the new height for the new file, take both and move them into the new empty surface, line one ontop of the other.
done!
Thanks! ^.^
Any tips on building the parts that aren't on the foremost section? Like, you have the front of the manor (or any building for that matter), but what about the sections behind that?
who needs that section? its a 2d game maker, you won't see the back of the houses...if thats what you are talking about.
No, like....So you have the frontmost section of the house that's showing, the part that you can see the walls descend and go into the ground, right?
What about as the roof extends to go backwards...like this:

why can't you make that?
lol....I don't know -_-
I wish the chipset's were bigger, I don't get why there can't be a whole set of just the parts I need to make a building; but I guess I'm just being picky o.o
I don't know if my eyes aren't seeing the pieces right, but it seems impossible to just create this stupid Manor :(
It's like there are random pieces in the sets too that you couldn't ever use to make something with the other given pieces. The function of some of the sets, or rather the function that all the pieces are supossed to serve when combined, just doesn't make sense to me.
try using rpg maker xp, there are plenty of how too guides on mapping, anyways maybe this can help:

What's the easiest way to flip a certain section of the chips?
I need to mirror it and just replace some of the chips I won't need in that set. I tried to open it up in Paint but it won't work, so I opened it in Photoshop and it won't let me take it chip by chip with the selection tool.
the PNG may be indexed, so in Photoshop, click Image > Mode > RGB Color. Then it should work. If you have to, make your selection a layer via cut. Then flip it.
I think that in FF6, which I'm assuming are the source of those sets, you don't see the retreating section of roof. Perhaps you should just get a different set, or go to resources and request a mirroring.
Doppelganger, let me check that tileset you are using. You'd be surprised that you might not see the tile you need, yet it is there.
