Increasing the amount of tiles available

[Maldruzard]

Hey there!

For the map I am currently starting to make, I need to have multiple different terrained areas, preferably with significantly different tiles. Is there any way to increase the amount of tiles available, above the 13 spaces that you get by default?

I've heard that it may be possible with WEU, but also heard that WEU may not be a good idea for mapmaking for some reason, though no-one really specified why

Cheers!

Download World Editor Unlimited, you can also put more different cliffs!

Couldn't find an up to date WEU, so I just downloaded JNGP instead... hope that it's good ;L Cheers!

Download JNGP.

To use up to 16 tiles, go to Extensions -> Edit Tileset.

Select all the tiles you want, up to 16 total.

Press OK when you are done. Do not save, do not test, just close the World Editor.

Reopen WE, open the map, and then the tiles should be there. GL.

16 is the maximum you can use. The w3e map format used to store the mesh data of maps only allocates 4 bits to terrain texture.

Be aware that atleast 1 cliff is manditory and all cliffs force the use of their accompanying texture as part of a requirements relationship defined in various game data files.

What is strange is that it also allocates 4 bits to cliff type but the game will only ever load the first 2 declared cliff types and resolve invalid cliff types as cliff type 0 (first declared).
