I can't give you an exe cause i don't have windows (it's too complicated for me ... specially when it comes to compiling things) ... also there's this cross-compiling thing, but i didn't understand it yet as well :(

The fixes from the extended tileset patch were already included in master, so you can see them in the nightlies (i'm surprised to not see it in 3.1 though, need to talk to somebody ...). The other patch is rejected, cause it was decided that it is better to complete the new map format support (which is much more flexible and will be surely free from all the issues mentioned in this thread).

All nice, except with one thing not connected with the topic, Spyro more self belief ok? the tiltle of this thread is simply messy.

And a question at the same time. Why there never been a simple turn road (asphald) tile? or not yet? thats the thing i make multiple junctions I remind and forget.

Quick question, How many tiles (minimum) should a set contain? the original three (at least the copies i have) have between 78 -81. is it safe to have less, or should i make the same? ive got just over 40.

ive worked it up to 50 tiles, my lates ones include modified LZ tiles (7) and a set meant to look like a land sized circuit board (7) and a set of cross snow and metal surface (5). one of these days ill put up a ".zip" but i want to make sure i have all that i need. i still need to work on a ".radar" and a ".ttp". ive opened the ones from the original tile sets, but i cant understand them at all. i think im lost...

Spyro_Drag:
are you making a tileset mod ?
In any case, make a zip and post it here.
We can help organizing things and give some hints.

Hello my most liked narrator :) I have to admit that you were talking about for such a long time that I really cannot wait to see what did you prepare :3

I understand that the moment your tiles will be in use, you will start make maps with those?

I was looking at the .radar files a few hours ago - looks like long lists of hex colour codes, but I'm not sure how they relate to the texture pages. I found some brief info on them in the wiki: http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/TerrainTextures
