Tiles and Tilesets

[Boristus]

I have been looking around the site and the internet for a while now, but I can't seem to find the answer to my question.

Is it possible to add custom tiles into the world editor that do not replace an existing tile, and are still visible on another computer?

 

[Tirlititi]

Wow, you want a lot. You already use all the existing tiles?

I don't know if Terrain.slk is well read when imported to a map so you can try that?
If it doesn't work, you maybe can do it by adding tiles variations (you enlarge Lord_dirt.blp for instance and add your tile in the created blank).

 

[Boristus]

I'll try that. Currently, I'm trying to add a wow-style Eversong Woods/Ghostlands tileset for some maps that I'm working on, but I don't want to use the Lordaeron season sets if I can avoid it.

Just use a custom tileset and replace one of the tiles you don't want with your custom one.

Would other people be able to see the textures, should they play on the map?

Yes. When you import an texture to the same path of the .mpq of a replaceable texture everyone who plays your map will be able to see it. Just like a custom model/skin, etc
Everything you import in you map becomes part of it.

Alright, Thank you. I will have to try that.

EDIT: It worked beautifully. Thank you. Now I just need to find some Eversong Trees....

Those are the Eversong tiles from World of Warcraft. I'm working on making my own, that fit the style of WC3 a bit more. The ones there (made by Blizzard) look odd in WC3, but I wanted to see the basics of what it would look like first.
