Project pics2.png

Yes, pics2. This isn't sponsored by Stefan or anything like that... hell, he doesn't even know! It's a personal project I've taken on. I need everyone's help.
We all know there are a lot of tiles missing in pics1. Many times you'll be making a level... and be saddened to see there's some awkward combination of tiles that cause tile errors! Now you can't do that cool looking cliff like you wanted. Well, I want everyone who has had that problem to help out. I don't make levels much so I don't come across these errors too much.
What I want you to do, is if you come across a layout of tiles that needs a new tile to be made(like I have added turns in the house roofs), please take a picture of the problem and circle it, then post it here! I will do my best to fix the tile and add it into the tileset. Please make the screenshot as small as possible, I have dialup and I don't want to keep downloading huge screenshots--crop where needed, please.
Now, don't be sad, this isn't just for tile fixes! I am going through Zelda 3 tiles and adding everything that's missing! That means you'll be able to make whole new areas with this tileset! But don't worry about that part, it's a surprise.
... oh, and if you already have graphics that would fix common tile errors, please post them if you want me to add them, it would save a lot of time!

PS. I should also note, along with adding many tiles, I am also removing a lot. I have removed all lava tiles(except the lava itself), and the ugly gray dungeon tiles.

Thanks for the help!

Attached are some tiles I made to flawlessly connect bigger areas of deeper water around those water cliffs. Work pretty well. You can use them if you want.

Edit: I would also like to help with other things if you don't mind, I'm doing some graphics myself. If you feel like it, pm me with what you need, and I'm giving it a try.

Not everyone wants to make a whole new tileset for their server. Do you know how time consuming that is? Especially when their server is going to be classic-style anyways.

There isn't enough good pics1 levelers that aren't busy nowadays anymore though. Even if you don't have the time for a new tileset, in the end making levels with the new tileset might be the same amount that it would take to really find "good" levelers for pics1.

Why not make pics2 in a setting of a new tileset?
Much better organised and...handy!

I would use the new layout... but then it'd just be counterproductive(you wouldn't be able to just apply the new tileset to levels made for pics1). But, if demand is high, I'll go ahead and make two tilesets in both layouts.

Everytime Iam starting up something classic I have the problem to organize some tiles to be more creative with existing tiles...

I think this shouldve been done a long time earlier, as the tiles had no updates since 2001?

Here's a start. The tiles attached only have a right direction and the only suitable replacements are the ones on the left, which aren't very suitable at all. Easyyy fix, but it's missed off the pics1 tileset

Another common issue that sprung to mind which happens on most servers is a lack of solid tiles for the attached.

I fixed these cliff and technique ally there was nothing wrong with them, but these transfers look alot better than the other straight ones.

If you guys don't like this one I am fine with that, it has just always bothered me how rough these were.

Oh yeah btw I left them with the surrounding tiles just incase, wasn't sure if we needed to do that or not.
