Tileset Idea!

Someone shrink the tileset and shrink the players. Atleast shrink it to 50% the current size of the current tileset. That would be cool.

Why though?

Then you could fit more into a level.

Well yes, but why would you *want* to? Besides the fact that it would make making your own tile sets easy because you'd need less detail... ok, i'll just be quiet now, yes, why dosn't some one do that?

Make your own tileset and shrink it.

I'd do that now, if I could make graphics

Dustey: its not possible to shrink the tileset 50% x.x you could but each tile in graal is 16 x 16 pixels, if you shrunk it by 50% the it would be 8 x 8 pixels which is impossible at this time.

Your not thinking of the "r, r2, r3" rule. if each tile was 8x8, that'd be 1/4 the total area of the original tileset.

yah i just remebered that =P but the theory is still the same, changing the tile size wont work at this time its a good idea though

What you do is make them all as an image, NOT as the tileset. Well, do the oposite, like big mario land but big graal land.

The character size is 32x32.. it can't be changed or at least I thought it couldn't. That would pose a problem.

*cough*gains*cough*

No problem. Make a gani for the player.

I mean size as in how many tiles the character takes up. (I think it's 4?)

How would you propose a player walks down a one tile path when they have a blocking value of two tiles? Just like you can't walk through a one tile area using current Graal. If you shrink the image that isn't going to change the blocking size.

Relatively I think it's impossible to choose the size of your tiles. If you tried it you'd probably get four miniture tiles stuck together into one normal sized tile because it just doesn't read it that way.

Knight_Vincent · #17 07-06-2002, 12:29 AM

Yes, but what you'd need to do is make the graphics in side the title smaller but still keep it fiting the title's size, the effect would make the things apear smaller and allow you to use less space, think of it. Lets say a normal sized house take 10x8 titles, a house made with this title set would only take maybe 6x4.
