Mapping TUT - Making house (Castle Town House)

[:)]

In this TUT, I will show how to make a good looking two story house using the Castle town tileset. (RTP DEFULT)

LETS START!

Layers:



Step 1: Paint out the grass tile on first layer. Next using the center wall tiles under red roof in tleset, make your bottom floor outline: LAYER 1

Nice detailed tutorial

Only things I would suggest is show a final screenshot in game, and maybe show smoke coming out, and a view of each layer

Small question:

How do you make smoke? LOL!

[:)]

Smoke is an event command, Just right click (in event layer)  over the place you want it and click new event, then double the click the picture and go all the way down the list.

[Halestorm5]

Just tried it, the roof for some reason covers the smoke up... Also, how do I make it animated automatically?

[:)]

I'm not big on animations for smokes and fires. Better to post your own topic with the question and someone will answer.

where is the door on the tileset?

[:)]

where is the door on the tileset?

The door can be done only through events. Make a new event on the tile you want the door. (right click on it in event layer, then select "new event") then on the left in the open box double click and scroll down to door's.
