Graphics help
« on: June 07, 2013, 11:21:31 am »
So I've made a 16x16 tile. How exactly do I get this thing to work with a creature? I've tried this;

To no avail. Any help?

Is your png file really 16 tiles by 16 tiles?  (i.e. 256 px by 256 px with the tile you intend to use in the 0,0 position?)  Otherwise you have to change the PAGE_DIM.

Oh.. I see how that bit works now :P it's literally only 16x16 PIXELS in dimension..
The image is a 16x16 image of a robot thingy. So... I don't suppose you could really quickly whip a file up that has <insert creature name here> or something for me?? Hahaha

If you're using another tileset, you simply find where the 16x16 tile of this creature is originally, then cut it out and replace it with your custom image.

Its a creature graphic. Nothing to do with the tileset. I'm talking about raws/graphics. I'm useless with these files :)

Vanilla DF comes with "graphics_example.txt" still, right?  That's probably the best thing to look at.

TILE_PAGE is arbitrary name, it's like a variable
TILE_DIM has to match what you drew
PAGE_DIM has to match what you drew
CREATURE_GRAPHICS has to match the name of your creature
The coordinates X:Y locate the tile on your page (upper left tile is 0:0)

Thanks smake :) as for PAGE_DIM is it that that determines the total number of tiles? So for one tile its 1x1?

Does transparency have an issue (with the picture itself?) Because this is my code; And I know that it should work.

In arena mode it just appears as a black tile? :P

TILE_PAGE:DEITIES

DEFAULT:ACONSTRUCT

ACONSTRUCT there should be DEITIES.
