Making Tilesets HELP!

[iSlayer]

Hi all i'm gonna need a tileset and everytime I try to make it in paint it stuffs up, please tell me where I am going wrong

1. I got a blank tileset and added some images to it
2. Saved as PNG
3. Saved as pics1.png in tileset folder
4. An error (pics1.png was not found in the Graal folder!)

So I tried again

1. I got a blank tileset and added some images to it
2. Saved as PNG
3. Opened in Gonstruct (Blank tiles are pink)
4. The tileset only shows up like the top corner of it and there isn't anything else

And is there anyway to get my pics1.png back?

First of all, do not name you're tileset pics1 or people will hurt you.

Also, make sure its 8 bit when you save it, and in order to use it on your own server, you'll need a script to make it show rather than the default tileset.

No way to save it in paint as far as i know, anything else then .png looks bad in paint, and the paint .png isn't the right format.

When i've made something in paint, i save it, open it up in photoshop, then use save for web, select PNG-8, save, and the file is fine. Then make sure it is saved inside your graal folder, and that your level is too.

add a level npc to your level.

Put this in your level npc.

PHP Code:

if(created)
{
  removetiledefs;
  addtiledef "nameofyourtileset","levelprefix(probably best to leave this blank for now", "tileset type",(pics1 is 0 the new one is 1);
}

Well I am a horible LAT and a HORIBLE scripter so I only need an OSL but I can't get the tiles to load, so here are some of the wall tiles of the OSL

Could anyone get it working in an NW file?

As a very last option you can save the tileset as a GIF then drop it on "gif2mng.exe" in the Graal directory to convert it to an 8-bit PNG.

That's what i just explained to you, how you could get the tileset working in a .nw file.

On a side note, those tiles are almost completely blank.

iSlayer, do you not want to reconsider creating a Server?

I think Tilesets can only be 256 colors max, or am I wrong?

The Graal client supports 24-bit pngs (16 million colors), but the offline editor only supports 256 colors. Some servers have two versions of a tileset: one for online, and one for offline editing.

Oh, interesting. :o

Well as I said I CANNOT LAT, and I can't make Tilesets only images

All I wanted is to get a working tileset!

Could someone post a blank NW with the tileset eur_osl_tiles.png please!
