No color schemes. If I do it with workshop draw, it would use the default one. Same for the other programs that load up tilesets for previews, they dont accept color schemes.

Why 16x4x4? If I use 4 color schemes in theory, wouldnt it make 4x4=16 sets?

But yeah, color schemes would require automation. :/

I only mentioned it because you mentioned the colorscheme in your first post.

16 (colors) * 4 (colorschemes) * 4 (tilesets).

You can organize it such that you have a complete colorscheme in one file, sure, but you also need to "index" properly into this to get the right color. This is doable, certainly, but it's something you need to have in mind when writing the HTML/CSS/Javascript needed to render everything (because I'm assuming you don't want to generate all the renderings manually for every comic).

How does the .cmv movie player on the map viewer site work? I noticed that the .cmv was exported in vanilla tiles and resolution/etc, then the movie player translates that into something flash can work with, might be handy to dig around in there to see what they did?

The CMV doesn't contain any tileset information - it just has the character indices and colors, and the player has to use its own tileset in order to display those characters (which could potentially just be an ordinary font, such as "Terminal" on Windows).

Incidentally, this is why you shouldn't record movies while you're using a custom graphics set - unless the person playing the movie is using the same custom graphics set, everything will look strange.

I would actually do that manually.

What Pidgeot isn't mentioning is that he's just made something similar.  Maybe we could adapt that?

Dammit, PE, I was trying to keep that as a surprise

A surprise.  On the internet.  Publicly developed.  Under a permissive license??

Well, I'm surprised, so it worked.
