I've rearranged the main snow tileset, giving more room for new tiles and centralizing all ground tiles in this one set:



I've put in some placeholder tiles for some missing transition tiles between ice and water. It could still use some fine tunning, as well as more tiles (like the other four cliff directions).

EDIT: this basic arrangement with new snow tiles has already been committed.

It's my understanding that rearranging existing tiles can break the maps currently using them.

Yes. The current snow sets are rather small. And it would be best to redo them now, before we have too many maps using them. Besides, this one has a different name, so adding it wouldn't break anything.

Is there any reason why tilesets have to be 512x512px?

I'm no specialist but as far as I discovered it during my own little OpenGL projects... OpenGl just allows you to load textures with:
2^1=2x2
2^2=4x4
2^3=8x8
2^4=16x16
...
2^8=512x512
...

It doesn't have to be square, but it's best if each side is a power of 2. The officially supported images sizes are listed here: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... evelopment

Well they could be 1024x1024 then Well, 1MB RAM usage or 4MB shouldn't be a problem.

Having two redundant tilesets would be even worse.

We'd have duplicates only while the original is still being used. We can phase it out this way.

I think in the future we will just have to develop a tool which allows us to rearrange tilesets and then defines a tile-id transition table which can be used to fix all maps which use the tileset. In the meantime, it doesn't make much sense to rearrange tilesets unless the amount of map fixing work is somehow small compared to the time savings gained by the new arrangement.

viola

Btw, I find it so odd that almost everything in tmw looks "gardened" so I edited the lake a bit for a true asymmetrical feeling of melting ice.

Added the fence from the woodland tileset:

How about ripping some pixels from here:

Facelift for the house, and added some tiles from the previous revision:



REVISION:



(please ignore non-wooden/metal objects in the tileset, refer to the rearranged version above for those)

Why don't you use these ground tiles?
