This is a multi user tile based world editor I created. I made it using a tile set created by a member here named grave. My idea is to have user register and create a map made up of the tile set of thier choice.You will be able to view other peoples plots and edit your own as much as you like.  Kinda like the whole isometric city idea with a different twist. I'd like to have as many tile sets as possible but i'm a programmer and i'm not to good with pixel art. Anyone who would be interested in contributing to this project would recieve a link located within the tile set they created. This is still in the testing phase so anyone who checks it out if you find any bug please let me know. Thanks for you time. Tile details are below the link to the landscape creator.

**EDIT**
no download made in flash

Landscape Creator

Tiles must be 16x16
png or gif format
any colors
indoor and outdoor settings

9x9 tiles won't fit in. 16 x 16 is the only size I have it setup to use. I'm not in a hurry I just started on version 2 of the landscape-creator. If you could make your tile set bigger that would be great cause I really like the style of it.

If you want the character to fit into the world the way it does now it would be best to increase the size on them too. 

Why would you have to throw them away?

To answer your first question Yes you will be able to save the map without the grid. I am going to add a member gallery so you can view every one elses creation. As for the 9x9 tile I don't think it would be wise to make my game using 9x9 tiles. Thats a very unusual size the standards are 8x8 16x16 and 32x32. The sizes have to be multiples of 8 to fit in. Sorry for the late reply.

Which brings me exactly to the point. If this hasn't got any collaboration stuff, I'll have to move this thread to Diversions.

Sweet. I love tilesets. Count me in for making one.

Couple questions, can I choose the background color and do you allow animation?

EDIT: Crud, I just noticed it has to be PNG. Do you want all the tiles to be seprate or in a sheet?

So would it accept animated GIF's?

Sweet, count me in.

50+ tiles so far...

Made in one image, it's gonna be a heck of a time splicing, saving and uploading..

Meh, they're nothing special, I'm trying to get a whole set of RPG tiles as fast as I can.

Your usual 13 grass/water tiles, 13 deep water tiles, 13 grass/sand tiles, misc water effects, trees, bushes, cliffs, waterfalls, caves, etc...

All your standard Zelda-ish stuff.

Did you program this thing all on your own?

I use mac, i thought this program was for pc, like most stuff :(, so i
will go find a pc in my house and try out your program.

EDIT: i now see that its flash and have tested it out. EXcellent job,
really easy to use :D, cant wait for the new tiles XD

Yes I programed this all on my own.



Thanks i'm glad you like it i've worked very hard on it.



That's why i like flash everyone can use it. I'm glad you like it and I can't wait for the new tiles either.



I'm trying to work that in.

If anyone else has any suggestions for features I'm open to hear them and will try to fit as many in as possible.

My tree is 32x32, so yeah placing roups of four would be nice. I'm up to around 80+ tiles and that's without the cliff tiles, house tiles, fence, wall or waterfall tiles.

And that's just exterior.

Anyways, here are some suggestions for the program:

Layered Tiles. (Make a sword tile with transparency, and you can place it on top of a grass or sand tile, etc..)

Perhaps a scroll feature for the tile area?

I'll post a small area with my tiles in it so you guys can have a sneek peak.

Sneek preview:



Still in progress but this will give you an idea...

Alright kwigbo, I could seriously spend months on a full RPG tileset. I forgot how long it takes to make an entire set by hand.

So I'll just hand in this version and if I want to add more tiles and/or animate them, I'll update.



I'll let you cut them out. Or make the program use tilesheets instead of individual tiles.

There's only 102 of them.

Cool i'm working on version two of the landscape creator i'll get our tiles up soon.

Heh, thanks. I'm not 100% happy with them and alot of them really could use an extra 30 min of tweaking. I kinda rushed the sand. But it all fits together and should allow alot of options for landscaping.
