It is hard making Tiles and Maps all by urself so i need a partner/Team, i dont want no newb SSME'ers and u must have work in TW, So post if u want in

If you tell what kind of maps you want, I could make it. but if you want it with a special tiles you'll have to make it yourself cuz I only use existed tilesets. If you want to contact me email me: jappe90_@hotmail.com

thx

What the heck...People always tell me to talk to WingZero about getting into twdev. I AM SO CONFUSED. I think I remember 2d telling me to talk to wingzero also.

Edit: Not sure though.

I don't think taking tiles is very fair.

Emailing 2d was back in the old days. recently about 5 months ago 2d handed recruiting to wing. Basicaly ?message wing to get in and later he might ask for sample work. I'm not sure exactly how it works since i was invited by sdp and 2d.

LVZ is cool and all, but in the interest of keeping file sizes down, maps made entirely with LVZ aren't cool. Granted, a majority of SDP's stuff is amazing, but I still like to see good 'ol fashioned basing maps with a nifty tileset.

[EDIT]Where might I find some juicy info/tutorials on tileset creation? I rock the casbah with photoshop, and I'd love to get in on the mapping action.[/EDIT]

Well making maps/tilesets takes alot of patients. Well your a "baser" so I bet you will do fine. There aren't that many tutorials out there I will look around for you thou. Creating a tileset from scratch .. like I do is real skill.

[Jason]

It can't be too difficult. It's just pixel art essentially. I'm mostly interested in learning about the technical aspects of tilesets, such as filesize, dimensions, color palette and format.

I'm definately the guy to talk to.

there is this site if you need some help... can't remember exactley I think it is www.shanky.com/server (if you do a ?help with a question about maps or tileset the one that aswers you, always give that site) and then go to tilesets or something... let me look it up.

here you go --> http://www.shanky.com/server/howto-z...les/index.html <--

Thats describing what tile does what, thats all.
What he is acking for is angles, geometry, effiecient ways of doing thing...
Example: When i make a diagnal tile, i take one 16x16 horisontal image of that tile, and cut out all of it except for the last virticle row, duplicate that row, drag it left one and down one, merge them, duplicate, left 2 and down 2, and repeat until you have a diagnal tile.
