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 http://worldgame.kwigbo.com/ - Landscape Creator Tiles must be 16x16 png or gif format any colors indoor and outdoor settings ------------- http://www.kwigbo.com">

Well, i haven't downloaded this program yet. About the Chuck's
animation i actualli have a tile set, but not complete.. I've made
grass, sand, rock, water, road and some few other things.. The only
problem is that the tiles are 9x9 pixels =/. You think u could change
your program to use the 9x9 tiles? I'd very grateful.

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. |

Thanks =D. I'll try to to make it in 16x16.. but i have a doubt.. Do i have to raise the character's size too? |

| 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. |

Hey.. i changed my mind.. I'm sorry, but i can't make 16x16 pixel
tiles.. I've made some 9x9 and i don't wanna to throw them away you
know  But it still would be great if you could adapt your software to use 9x9 pixels. If you can, awesome, if you can't, no problem.  |

Actually, i want to make a game... And all my work on the 9x9 tiles
would be for nothing you know what i mean? I've made them, i want to
use them. =/ But i've seen your program, and i just loved it. it's awesome =D. In future, is it going to be possible to save the maps, withouth the grid? It would be really great if the program could use 9x9 tiles.. I would be very grateful.. |

It would be really great if the program could use 9x9 tiles.. I would be very grateful.. 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. ------------- http://www.kwigbo.com">

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? |

EDIT: Crud, I just noticed it has to be PNG. Do you want all the tiles to be seprate or in a sheet? If you send them in a sheet it will take me longer to put them up cuz i'll have to cut them apart. But you can send them which ever way you want. Actually gif files would be ok to if that's easier. Yes you can have animated tiles too. ------------- http://www.kwigbo.com">

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. |

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 |

You should allow someone to click and drag to place groups of tiles...

yeah groups of tiles, like all 3 pieces of the tree at once, however
maxx's tiles may be different, only time will tell. |

Date Posted: 09 January 2006 at 3:14pm

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.

I will add drag and drop function for transparent objects. Scoll feature? for the tile choosing area? If that's what ya meant i'm way ahead of ya. ------------- http://www.kwigbo.com">

That's cool I can't wait till it's done. I started work on the drag and
drop feature for objects. I am also reorganizing my code so adding new
features will be easier.

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. --JJX |
