[TOOLS] - Laminator & Tilemaker

Post by Joel » Thu May 27, 2004 7:43 pm

Thos two tools are designed to quicken new tileset design.

* Laminator is sue to cut pcx of maps into strip of 80 pixel width, sueful to extract wall tiles.

* Tile-Maker cuts a pcx which size is a mupltiple of 160*80 into floor tiles and ini file , ready to use with dt1maker v1. (old style ini sorry)

The File (691Kb) :
http://cw.d2mods.com/temp/tile-tools.zip



EDIT by Paul Siramy, 08/14/2004 :
Since Joel lost the source code of TileMaker in a hard-disk crash, and therefore was unable to update the program, I have recoded it completly from scratch, and improve it. TileMaker v 2.1 (286 KB) takes an image and generate DT1+DS1 files :cool: . Check the Readme.txt for details. It needs an allegro DLL, you can take the same as the one I'm using for my DS1 editor if you want alleg403.zip (226 KB)

Note : the image can be of ANY size, not necessary with width a power of 160, and height a power of 80.

EDIT 2 : Just fixed an important bug. With some images that use transparency, especially in the upper/left corner, the DT1 was completly screwed up. It now should be fixed for good. Zip updated, now version 2.1.

Is it possible (or a dream) to have a tool following the ini files+dt1 (created by your tool) to create a ds1 after

Check the 1st post that I have just edited.

TileMaker2 takes an image and split it into FLOOR tiles, generating DT1 + DS1 ... but you still have to use my DT1 Tools to set the walkable infos of each tiles. Well, at least now you're not losing hours trying to makes a DS1 ;)

So Tilemaker takes an image and makes a map out of it?
