If you dont wanna hear RTFM goto Frugals. In in here you read the manuals, and then ask what you did not understand on a particular subject. I know all is a bit much in the beginning, but using search function in wordpad and using tacedit help function should get you on the way. some Golden rules fo...

nope you can use any color paletta for a tile group. as long as all the tiles in that group use the same color paleta (same index). the tiles are ordered in groups with start with the same name Hcost75* for example are all 1 group. the all have the same paletta also the M and L tile have the same pa...

how do you cut a pic into 4x4 exact 512x512 pics?

if you got photoshop Imageready is delivered with it and cuts up images very well.
I use these on airbases and stuff.

nope Falcon doesn't support 16 bit but all the editing is done in 16 bit (I asume most tilemakers do this) so to be able to have your util go from there elimintas 1 step and that is what these proggies are all about, eliminating boring steps. Here is as how I work I first make a group of tiles wich ...

[/QUOTE]Hmmm, so you want the output H tile to be different than the input? I hadn't thunk about that. Surely I could do that, but there are UI implications I'll have to think through. For example, the original and output H tiles will have to be displayed. I'll mull it over and come back with a new ...

haven't come to testing it yet.
However 1 request comes to mind.

Could you unlock the H tiles
I mean I do my editing nowadays in 512res
however I fly my Htiles at 256res.

now I tested in XP (prevous post was from win98SE)

now the Htile paletta is off wich is very wierd since it should basically be just a copy

also avaraging palatea should only be on Ttiles.

/widmak

Widowmaker

hmm tested your lates link

my tiles previewlook purple in your proggy and come out all with odd paletes when saved?

something is going wrong

/widmak

very cool
I hope to be able to test it soon

how did ya avarage the paletta's?

Widowmaker

for a test you can for Korea just use one of its T-tiles and rename it xfartiles.pcx
so you can read to paletta from it and test in in your proggie

basically making a xfartiles.pcx is only needed when adding new tilesets with new/different paletta's into the texture.bin

/widmak

Widowmaker

haven't tested it yet due to limitation in time. question, how are Ttiles treated by this proggie? Ttiles donot have the same paletta as the Htiles so they cannot be simply resized. They need to have the paletta stored in the fartiles.pal (we use a xfartiles.pcx image for that in Runtiles) so all th...

From what I read Claude is interested in the matter, wich is great.
