Problem with adding new graphic

I want to add new stuff into a certain tile set that was brought with the game already. I managed to successfully add it and make it work.

I entered database -> tileset -> pressed on existing tile set on the game and I could only add new things on "D" and "E" who were empty.

So there is only 2 more open spaces to add new things.

I don't know how to use photoshop to combine the new stuff that i want to add into one photo.

And I can't replace something with another thing cause I want different things from different photos. 

Please tell me there is a way to add more options to add things ... :(

there are scripts that allow you to change the tileset, but it's impossible to increase the tileset or add more to it than the structure allows - you can only replace parts. And the scripts will only change the tileset in the game, it cannot work in the editor (which means it's more work to make the different maps)


That said, there should be something like a resource manager in VX (I don't have it to check), and you can use that to export the existing tilesheets.


Then you can open the exported picture and replace one or more tile of it with other tiles (you cannot increase its size, and any tile can only replace an existing tile of the same size).


After those changes, you can reimport the change tilesheet and assign it to the tileset slow it was in before.


That way you can replace unused tiles with tiles you need.

Edit:

This post was a mistake.

Please delete.

Wrong, please look where a question is posted before answering - this is the VX area.
That option does not exist in RMVX, VX is limited to a single tileset.

Oh my.... 

Gonna make some coffee.

I must not reply on threads when I wake up.

Apologies @maitalr and @Andar.

 Yes that thing I already noticed before but not the same as I wanted :( But thank you for helping me, I wish they would had added an options to add more spaces :(

Lol no problem ^-^

They did so for the next maker in the series (VX Ace) when they realised the problems caused by that, but that doesn't help you as you have VX, not Ace...

OH! That is what I have! I didn't notice there is a different between VX Ace and just VX! I thought they are the same ..

Ummm...

It's a screenshot i took. And I know I can change the max but it's changing the max to a new tile set, and if you see on Graphic there is only two free places to add new stuff. I cant add more than 2. And I do want to use the game's tile sets but i want to add new things too into the same tile set. And "D" and "E" are only one open to add new photos of items there.

I don't want to raise the max cause it's only give me new options to add new tile set, but I'm still getting stuck on the same problem cause not enough place to add my own free items cause I can only use B,C,D, and E. And I don't know photoshop and I didn't make any of the contact it was all downloaded. so every item I want is in  different photo.

So, someone can help me here ? I maybe can someone move my post to the right place?

 


LOL this is VX Ace :guffaw:

You are posting on VX threads so @Andar was correct anyway.

Change Maximum to 10 (you did it to 5 I see)

Select 005 from the list.

Give it a name.

002 has Exterior as a name (look at your pic)

Then add one after another the tilesets.

You will have to arrange passabilities and stuff to make them work.

And check out my signaure.

Get the game, play it, it is a 4 hour tour to VX Ace. It will save you a lot of time.

So my mistake was accidentally not a mistake? :p

I wish I would be so lucky in my job too if I will ever need that.  

Hmm.... if you need more stuff in a map than these options give you, you might need to do parallax mapping....

Search for it here and in the internet.

This is not included in my tutorial, but there are people in this community that explain how to do stuff really good.

This tool can create tile re arrangements variations too. Easily! ;)

If D and E still isn't enough (It is actually big already as it's 2 slots), you can remove the unneeded things from the B-C tilesheet that ur using...


How big is your map anyways that putting the tiles in D and E isn't enough? Or are you actually trying to use only 1 tileset for the whole game?


If you cannot do parallax mapping, your next big bet would be to make a tileset for each map which contains only the tiles that you would actually use for that map. VX Ace allows you to have more than 1 tileset, so take advantage of that. Don't try to cram everything into a single tileset.

OH MY GOD. I'M STUPID.

I just got it.

If make a 2 different maps but need the walls and floors from the same base game I can use it but add items for 1 map from 2 photos , and on different map use diff items with same base walls and floor.

So I'll still change the max numbers but use same floors but add diff items to each one.

OH MY GOD. I am so so so stupid. from some reason in my mind I forgot that I can still use the floors and walls and whatever for more than one tile set.

Thank you all really! 

dreadshadows , I need coffee too -_- and after that I'll check the links you gave me

And thank you Engr , I realized my stupidity cause of you lol

And thank you Andar too :)

I do know parts of the progrems but not still even 50% yet, I made lots of maps and test runs with commends but as I'm still new.
I'll go hide in a box or something for now xD

You are not stupid.

You are just starting learning how to use the software.

You will figure out everything.

Take your time.

:)   :thumbsup-right:

I've moved this thread to VX Ace Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

well this was fun ;)
