Post apocalyptic tiles.

Vonage · 2014-06-07T00:50:19+0900

I am new at modifying tiles. I want to make a scene where modern day towns get destroyed but i don't want to use a bunch of separate tile sets. It would bother me to not have consistency with my tiles. So i was wondering what i would have to do to take the tile set i'm going to be using and make a modified set to look like the town has been destroyed? What program would i use? How would i go about it? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

If you stick with good quality RTP edits you will probably be happy.

They are out there.

Changing the fog over the map is great, and lighting effects are also important.

For example, PandaMaru has wall ruins.

I would like to first say that my grandmas name is Deb and me and my brother have always called her "Gramma Deb" lol.

Anyway, what exactly is an "RTP edit" I'm sorry im just really new to this.

They're edits of the original tiles that came with the maker.

Basically it's taking the resources available in the RTP and modifying it to your needs. I recently posted a "fantasy ruins" set that was nothing more than editing the RTP. Edits can be simple, like a recolor, or complicated like mine. Copy and pasting Moss into wood and stone, recoloring, resizing, etc.

So, I found this poking around the forums. It is a tutorial by Indrah for editing tiles. Guide to Simple Tileset Edits.

I prefer to use GIMP for editing, only because I'm too poor for Adobe Photoshop, and quite frankly there is nothing Adobe can do that I haven't been able to do with GIMP.

If you have any specific questions about editing, feel free to PM me.

Thank you so much for the responses. I am decently proficient with gimp and i was probably going to use that program anyway.
