Its called tilesbeta4-30-01.zip. Thanks for the patience as it has paid off big time Image

BTW the zip is dated july 30 2000 since I turned my computer clock back so I could use my free trail of PSP. Hehe.

Downloading it now and will start to work on the new tiles packet. Wow, we are really closing in on my summer vacation, only few days left for F4 Theater work.

I'll hope this package is easy/fast to modify into installable tilespacket.

I completed first run for the tiles, fixed the errors of many tiles being 24bit color palette.

So first part of the work is complete, which could have been avoided if my tilemaking instructions would been followed (or actually this error wasnt even there, its so obvious).

Oh well, it just takes so much more time for me to fix the tiles. If mistakes like these are on the tiles who knows what I'll find when I really dig into the tilepacket, which I now need to do to make sure everything is in order. Gee how I love to manually check about thousand tiles.

Dont expect the new tiles to be ready anytime soon.

Dont bother fixing the tiles on palettas and/or direction...I'll do this if you want me to this as promissed..

I hope you can write the texture.bin before monday-night so I can start on tuesday.(I know you are busy Image..).and fix the paletta's/directions/missing tiles as I expect some problems there ..knowing Tbone.. Image

btw I explained tbone how he can track these 24bit tiles in a sec..and he prommissed to use this method the next time..wich will be far away anyways..

good luck on the bin

Actually this time I screened them beforehand for orientation problems and I am pretty sure that things turned out ok. The last few times I did not do this... so comes to show that I do learn from my mistakes.

Bah brains my ass.

Dont get me wrong I truly appreciate the work you have done!

It just amazes me why its so hard to follow the very very simple instructions I laid out. "dont change filenames (orientations), all tiles in same set with same color palette etc". If these rules are broken, the tiling will be messed up.

Only thing I've done now is to check the color palette for 256 colors, it might be that any other problems doesnt exist, dunno as I havent checked so thoroughly the packet yet. But the quick browse I did, it seems that there are some weird tiles, but I will not point any fingers before I check all the tiles.
