I'm still uncertain by what you mean with weapon script. NPCW? When you mention clientside, I become nervous, because I haven't scripted anything using any stuff added since around 1.34.

There are only 2 tileset formats if I understand correctly. The newer one, addtiledef _,_,1; , is inadequately explained (the tileset templates on the forums are partially incorrect I discovered), as well, it would allow developement teams to have greater organization possibilities and flexibility with tilesets.

He means that if you wanted to redefine the tileset yourself it would need to be in a "NPC weapon" in the players inventory with arrays defining every single tile which would be a pain.

I thought they where explained adequately just no realy good template for it.
Its simple giant blocks of tiles defined for 1 purpose. One section for chairs , one for water tiles , ect...

The templates/definitions that are up though, they are less than 100% accurate.

Is there any way I may get a copy of the new tileset format?
I'm making several tilesets for a major event coming up, and the only way I'm going to be able to is if I get the layout of the tiles.. trial and error would not be very fun.

I always have liked the idea of template images controlling the tileset, but only if the server could read them. And if template images are too bad, a template reader that could convert the image template into an array would probably be just as effective. Then one could set the array in a serverside weapon and whoopdiddeedoo!!! everyone is happy!

Although I don't know enough to say that this would actually work.
