Applying Custom Tilesets to Custom Creatures
« on: August 16, 2009, 10:37:13 am »

In short, how do you?

Currently using Mayday's custom tileset.
What I want to do is give 1 creature the same tileset as a bronze collossus, and for a custom race to use the same tilesets as humans do.

Quite frankly, I havn't a clue what to do. I tried changing the [TITLE:'X'] in the raws but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Any helps would be much appreciated, thanks!

Open graphics_mayday.txt and find "TILE_PAGE:HUMANS". Copy everything from there down to the elf entry (naturally titled TILE_PAGE:ELVES), go to the bottom of the file, and paste.
Now change the "HUMANS" after TILE_PAGE to whatever you want (I don't think it has a significant effect, it's just a tag, and probably wants to be unique, so the name of the race is logical).
Finally, change "[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:HUMAN]" to "[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:xyz]", where xyz is the name of the *creature* entry of your new race (not the entity).

For the colossus, you'll need to do nearly the same thing: find "[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]", make a copy, and change COLOSSUS_BRONZE to whatever the creature's called.

It works! Thank you!!


em...not to appear ungrateful or anything, but is there any way to change the colour of the colossus to white / gray? If not, thanks anyways.

Not without adjusting the sprite, or making a new one.

Actually, adjusting the sprite should be very easy. just put it into paint and greyscale it.
