Title: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 04, 2011, 09:56:19 PM
This thread is a clearinghouse of my custom 8bit tilesets, freely available for anyone's use though mostly made for specific expansion projects.  I'm open to MM8BDM-related requests but I don't promise to accept all of them.

Also check out my tutorial thread. (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=7539)

I think the FC people beat you to the punch for Wily Wars

So what?

Besides, it looks like they only did the new stages to me... the 1-3 stages also had graphic overhauls for TWW.  They also clearly didn't follow strict NES limitations either; the tiles are individually fine but the stage maps have way too many pallets in such close proximity that even the pallet swaping tricks used in 5&6* can't account for all of it.

*check out a map of Charge Man's stage for an easy example:  The red car is the same tileset as the green one earlier, just with a different color selection.

We could really use your help over at MM&B! Tilesets are incredibly important at the moment, especially so our mappers can start on that!
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 05, 2011, 01:44:19 AM
Fair enough.  When I finish the WW version of BombMan I'm currently working on I'll take a crack at MM&B.  Any particular stage you had in mind first?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on June 05, 2011, 02:50:47 AM
We're currently working on Ground Man, so you could work on that if you'd like. Cold Man has already been done by the FC team, and Astro and Tengu are not very high priority at the moment, for future(?) reference.

Oh, those look nice! What's next, Pirate, Burner, or Dynamo?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 07, 2011, 07:35:46 PM
I'm thinking pirate.

Great Job! These look excellent!

Pirate is done.

I guess I'll try Dynamo next even though it's just a big green blah.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium

You rock, NemZ. Thank you for doing these.

Post by: NemZ on June 10, 2011, 07:30:49 AM
It's not a big deal.  I've got lots of free time at the moment and I'd just be doing different stages for my own amusement if you hadn't asked for these.  Glad I can help.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Jc494 on June 10, 2011, 01:51:51 PM
Wow, those Pirateman stage textures look... amazing. Nice work NemZ (even though I'm not part of the MM&B dev team, just wanted to say they look nice).
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 24, 2011, 12:17:05 AM
Dynamo is up.  Really ugly stage to be honest, good luck with that one guys.

That stage is going to be fun to texture...
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on June 24, 2011, 04:17:23 PM
I think it'd probably look better if the textures were darker, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, even though it may not be visually appealing to everyone, nice job.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NitroBro on June 24, 2011, 05:22:57 PM
great job with the MMV tiles, its nice to see they are done, even if i couldnt finish them
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 24, 2011, 06:37:31 PM
At Korby's suggestion I darkened everything.  It all still looks like crap to me (literally with brown replacing the purple) but at least it's a little less glaring, I guess?

I also tweaked a few tiles while I was at it.  Not sure what the hell I was thinking earlier keeping the girders in perspective.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 02, 2011, 06:41:24 AM
Burner Man is done.

So MM&B guys, do you need the rest of them done as well or is that it?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on July 02, 2011, 02:28:38 PM
Excellent job!

You might as well just do the rest (If you want to!)

I mean, if you don't, then they won't match and that will just be kind of weird.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 02, 2011, 07:40:31 PM
Well, just checking.  I was under the impression that you already had Cold, Tengu and Astro done, and I thought I recently saw someone else was doing Magic.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on July 03, 2011, 05:45:19 PM
Tengu and Astro unfortunately had different tilesets, so we don't have those.

Cold is finished, yes.

No one was doing Magic, to my memory.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 04, 2011, 12:44:33 AM
I didn't really like the Cold Man tile sheet you had available because it didn't follow NES restrictions and had some weird color choices in places, so I went ahead and redid it anyway.  Well, that and if I did the rest it would have bugged me not to do it eventually too...

I'll probably use the stage 2 tiles for King's fortress since that's where he's actually fought.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Galaxy Sisbro on July 04, 2011, 03:16:37 PM
Actually, Cold Man tilesets follow all NES restriction, as they were made by MEND (the one who made RM7FC and RM8FC).

Also, throwing it out, some tilesets needs to be reworked in terms of shading.

I've been trying to say the same basic thing with the music. However all I've gotten in response was either "You're wrong", "Stop complaining", or "Its close enough". Oh well.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 05, 2011, 01:02:11 AM
To be fair I just went through my tiles and found a few places where mine were slightly off-color as well, specifically anywhere I used the darkest shade of gray.  I'm uploading color-corrected versions shortly.

Oddly enough, I think it actually helped Dynamo a bit.  Maybe?  Hmm.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium

Not a problem.  Actually that one was rather fun, especially the fans.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 13, 2011, 08:03:19 PM
Astro is up.  Whoever did the tiles for that stage had WAY too much fun with it.  There are several areas I just skipped because it was frankly getting ridiculous.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on July 13, 2011, 08:06:12 PM
I must agree with you there, there's a pretty ridiculous amount of tiles there.

Thanks!

Indeed,Astroman looks really nice
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 14, 2011, 05:31:03 PM
Well, we'll see.  Considering the problems the MMV project is having with Pluto's tiles going to black/gray in software mode, I really hope Mike is okay with the revamped doom palette I sent him to better capture the NES palette's capabilities.  I mean just look at how much purple is on these MM&B tilesets!  

If that fix doesn't work out I'm going to have to do a lot of recoloring.  Well, either that or the projects will have to include the new PLAYPAL file in the wad.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on July 15, 2011, 07:32:55 PM
Unfortunately, as seen when you play MM8BDM in software mode, there's a lot of inaccuracies in color, so this problem is nothing new.

Playing in OpenGL is a different story, however, because it uses the colors that are on the files.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 17, 2011, 08:37:46 PM
As a point of clarification, this is basically what I had in mind when I suggested a layered approach to the jungle on Burner Man's stage:

(http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p343/nemss1/junglelayers.png)

If it's set up right it should enable a sort of 'parallax' look, though the spacing will have to played with a bit.  The trunk graphic is probably the furthest back players should be able to go (as indicated), the rest set back in a sort of cubbyhole.

Also, Magic Man's stage is up.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on July 18, 2011, 04:19:14 AM
Oh cool Magic Man, thanks.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium

Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on July 18, 2011, 08:56:06 PM
I decided that the Tengu Man fans were probably going to be a real pain in somebody's ass, so I went ahead and set them up for easy use (including the back of the fans, because it was easy and who knows?).  Don't trim these down, the empty space is necessary to space it out right.

King is up... technicolor nightmares ahoy!

I'm actually somewhat tempted to recolor some of that, regardless of what the original stage looked like.  Thoughts?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium

NemZ, you rock and roll.

Thank you very very much for doing all of this!

Post by: NemZ on July 19, 2011, 08:07:58 PM
You're completely welcome.  I'm loving this stuff.

Also, I went ahead and recolored the King tiles to make the three palettes more clearly distinguishable.  If you really want to keep the technicolor look just mix and match between the three.

I'm back, and I bring you a new tileset. This one was a special request from Blaze, posted at the start under the new folder 'other'.

The next request in line was for powered-up mm1 tiles, which I'll start working on... soonish.  Finding good references for this game is proving rather tricky.

I'll keep an eye open and post my findings for you.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on September 20, 2011, 02:18:20 AM
I found that earlier actually, but thanks.  

mrjnumber1 also sent me a batch of screenshots, but I still think i'm going to have to just watch a lets play and pause it from time to time to really get a feel for the stages, especially for any animated tiles.

It might also help if I'd ever actually played the game...but  oh well.

...and am I the only one who thinks these new stages are actually rather ugly, somehow even blockier than the original?  Probably a consequence of the editing program I guess.

Star Dood, through my experience, constantly asking someone for something and/or constantly reminding said person of said subject lessens their want to (create/approve/do, etc.) that subject.

I haven't forgotten Stardood, you just aren't first in line.  Relax.  But sure, everyone should feel free to use any of the tiles I post here for whatever projects they want.  That's kind of the point... more textures are always a good thing.

And thanks for the continuous support, Korby, even when I'm not working on stuff specifically for you.  You're a class act!

It would be selfish of me to only praise you for things you made for me! Of course I'll continue to comment and enjoy your works, because as long as they're good, you deserve comments on them! (Actually, even when they're not good, you still deserve comments on them. Criticism is so incredibly helpful.)
Actually, it's also selfish of me to say "for me" considering I would never have gotten far in MM&B if it were not for the people who are helping! This is why I don't like saying "my expansion." Because it's not!

Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on October 03, 2011, 03:28:12 AM
Yeah, I know... but the actual mountains in the stage background are really craptastic, just big flat blobs that are even more plain than this.  Not sure how to make something decent out of that, honestly.

Edit:  Okay, took some inspiration from Stone Man's stage and the background I made for the intro stage.  Better?

Whew, that was WAY more work than I expected it to be, but it was fun work so I guess that's okay.  If you want to see the results, check my facebook business page Here! (http://www.facebook.com/vergencegraphics)  Or just buy the game when it's finished of course... it's currently still in development for Android phones under the working title "Solar Defenders" (though that may change), and if it's a success there it may be ported to iPhone as well.

Anyway, Elec PU is about half done.  My work schedule is picking up again though so don't expect my updates to be as frequent as they were over the summer.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on October 26, 2011, 10:52:50 PM
Elec PU is done.  

I'm going to suggest trimming in the skybox to just solid walls on the stage update because these animated background tiles are going to be an absolute eyesore if you make them tiny and flickering in the distance.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium

Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on October 27, 2011, 03:28:50 AM
If the flashing is too bad I could slow it down by adding more tiles to the animation cycle, though I'd rather not if it isn't necessary.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Korby on October 27, 2011, 04:32:10 AM
They could probably slow the animation down through actually making it a texture, so it shouldn't be too bad.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on October 27, 2011, 04:59:57 AM
Yeah, but if it's slower I'd rather it also be smoother.  Slower frames at the same movement/frame ratio will look jerky and craptastic.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on November 13, 2011, 05:25:33 AM
Ice is done.  The interior (black) isn't built with tiles but it's simple enough I think it will pass muster... not that I can think of a place it really make sense to use in the existing stage anyway.  Just looked cool and easy, so I did it.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium

Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on November 13, 2011, 08:01:29 AM
It's there in the stage, man.  I guess I could lessen the number of lines attempting to pretend it's actually curved though, go for a more smooth look.  I'll think about it.

Ripped the existing time and oil tiles out of the wad and did color correction on them.  Both had tons of colors that aren't actually in the NES pallet and used far too many 4-color pallets (Oil had 10!), so some consolidation was required.  Where possible I tried to split the difference between consolidated tile groups, hence the blue pipes and green buckets in Oil became teal and the mint green and olive green bricks in time became just sort of neutral green.

Why are so many of these tiles so flippin' huge?  The skybox for Oil especially is just stupid big.

Found a "lets play" of powered up and used that as reference to make a few more changes to time and oil.  I think they actually look much more like the actual game then they did before, even with stricter color limitations.  Added a few more frames to smooth out some of time's animations and recolored the oil barrier actors to better match the stage (whose idea was purple oil, anyway?)

Wily stage 4 is up.  The first draft was just painfully gaudy so I replaced all the green with browns and replaced the light blue with a more greyish blue.

I'll confirm it for you, Dyna's stage had Conveyor belts near the beginning, thats the interiors, and the ones above them are the sides.

Well, isn't this interesting... I just found a Volt Man tileset on Deviantart.

It looks pretty good, but I'm not an expert on this thing...

Even though there's a massive amount of blue, I don't THINK it breaks color rules. Would you recommend using this NemZ? It'll save you work in the long run, but if you think you can do better (which I'm certain you can) you can do your own. I'm just wondering if we could use this as a placeholder for right now.

Erik Red was making his own remake of the game (those really really tiny Volt Man sprites are what he was going to use) So thats based off his version of the stage. Its hard to tell but I think some parts are missing from it such as the electrodes in his boss room, also those lowers ones are nowhere to be found in game if I recall.

Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on January 23, 2012, 09:41:15 PM
It's not horrible.  It's just the typical mistake a lot of people make, like the FC proects; the individual tiles are fine, but as a set there are way too many pallets.  To be fair it might still be okay, but that depends on how they were going to be used... some palette-swaping is definately going on the bottom, for example.

You get one background color (usually black) and four 3-color palettes (with a 'clear' color so the background shows through), and another four 3-color palettes to use for sprites.  Some of the later games got around this by changing the palette at some point and reusing tiles with a new color scheme (see the red/green traincars in Charge man, or the green/purple columns in Wind man, and it's also the reason why some enemies like big eyes change colors between stages), but that means they should never be on the same section of the map.  They also occasionally set a palette aside for just a water effect or something, and cycled the colors rather than cycling the tiles (napalm man and pump man come to mind, and it's also the reason 1-ups flash when you use a charge shot).  Occasionally they'd get really desperate and layer sprites on top merely for colors, but that's a bad idea in mega man games as every RM (including mega of course) is already at 2 or even 3 layers of sprites just standing still.  The NES could only handle 8 sprites in a given line, so add enemies and a few shots and you can quickly cause sprite flickering errors.  Incidentally, that's also why large bosses and minibosses fight you in rooms with just a flat black background... most of the boss is actually made of background tiles.  If you quickly use the menu/pause the sprites flash away and you can see what's made of what.

...Ahem.  

So yeah, I'm a purist.  That restriction is what makes it hard, but the challenge of working around it is what makes this stuff fun.  Its part art, part puzzle.

Edit:

I looked through this guy's stuff, and while he does definately break the palette rule he has some interesting ideas about color choices.  I'll keep those in mind going forward.

Sonic is up.  I tried it with purple rocks like eric's tiles but the radiatioactive waste barrels just didn't look right like that, so made the big pipes a bit more purple instead.  Could have just used the same rocks from the last one (they are the same in the game) but meh, that's boring.

Also did some touch-ups on the dynaman sheet, mostly on the conveyor belts and making the rocks less smooth and rounded.

Post by: Magnet Dood on January 25, 2012, 09:04:27 PM
Ooh, thanks, NemZ! This and Volt Man's stage look to be the more interesting of the original three. I like the big entry circles, too.

Is this stage some sort of sewer treatment facility? I'm never sure of whatever it is...
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: fortegigasgospel on January 25, 2012, 09:14:13 PM
Sonic was a sewage treatment like facility.
Volt was a power plant.
Dyna was a mine/warehouse/lumbermill.
Bit was an oil rig.
Shark an ocean.
Wave a tanker ship.
Oil an oil refinery.
Blade a water treatment facility like place.
and Torch a sewer.

So yea, I'd think you are right on that.

Btw Nemz, I recall there being a fan near the start of his stage, which tile is that if you added it?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Magnet Dood on January 25, 2012, 09:16:54 PM
Bit was an Oil Rig? I thought he was on some sort of giant mountain fortress.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: fortegigasgospel on January 25, 2012, 10:00:40 PM
The blue spinning thing in center of the stage was the drill, also notice Bit, Wave and Oil's stages were filled with oil tanks.
Its my believe the three worked for a company named "Oil Co." (as evident by Oil's stage). Bit worked on the rig, Wave worked on the tanker that brought the oil to mainland and Oil worked in where the oil was refined.

Back to Nemz's textures though. Will clouds for Volt's pallete be for background only or walls also like the bushes in Slash's stage for running through?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on January 26, 2012, 12:34:15 AM
Nope, I skipped the fan since I figured that if it was used it would likely be an actor placed as a trap in one of the 'tubes' rather than just a background (same reason I skipped all the assembly line thingies in Dynaman's stage).  Would be easy enough to make one behind a grate though.

Translucent clouds around the towers (or fog at the bottom of the hydroelectric dam?) could be interesting, sure.

And yeah, there's definately a weird connection going on in MM3DOS.  Are they pumping oil into a suburban sewer and planing to just blow the whole place up?

Oh, this tileset is heavenly. The "high voltage" sign really puts the icing on the cake! I'm also a fan of those spiderwebs... Nice work on that!

Hmm, perhaps that allows those spiders to crawl around the map? Though I'm not really a fan of the enemies in that game... They're all just animals.

But I digress. Thanks, NemZ, I really appreciate the work you're putting in to these tiles.

Agreed, the PC game's enemies are all lame.  Maybe replace them with the little crawler things from the real mm3?  They could be coded the same as the turtles from the mm7 pack, just re-skinned and perhaps recolored brown/red.

...and yeah, I was particularly happy with how well that sign turned out.  :D

You can make the enemies have robotic-esque styles, considering that most of the enemies in classic megaman are based of animals particularly.

^ This. I was actually thinking that guy who made the tile set Star linked a while back for Volt also made the enemies from his stage, they weren't the best but he edited the spiders from Megaman Zero into 8bit and recolored them into the spider's from Volt's stage.

NemZ, while I feel most of your work is good, I feel I should mention

Don't put semi-transparent tiles on tilesets!

The reason? well, they can't be placed as transparent, they have to be made transparent on the actual map
So Trans textures would just show up as either full or not at all.

Eh, I think it's more useful to see the stage as a whole, how the parts all fit together.  That and I'm trying to more or less make my own spin on things rather than just copying what the game did, especially since so much of it was just crappy or blatantly reused for multiple stages.  Thanks anyway.

Wave is done.  I thought it was silly to have the engine cylinders visible as that would make them broken, but the camshaft makes sense as a background.  

Seriously though, why is there so much water/lava/ooze/whatever in these stages?  Holy crap that's going to be a lot of palette swaps on the liquid tiles.

For realism's sake it would be good to make 4 different animation loops with those tiles that start at different points so that when put in a line it actually looks correct.

I went ahead and put them together in a staggered line to make it easy on you.  It would probably be best to have these set back a block from the surrounding engine room walls and with a railing to keep people out of there.

Actually when I finish the dos games the next request on my list was for something from zero 3, though I'm not sure if that's still needed or not.  I'll have to check.

I'm not adverse to doing zero or zx tiles, though I'd be much more likely to do so if it was part of a project that seemed to actually be going somewhere.  For the most part classic games have a lot more going for them, if nothing else then just because they feel like they belong with the rest of the game as-is.

Nargh why does every single stage have some form of water in it

I know, seriously!  Every stage in these games has either water, oil, lava, or some sort of green ooze somewhere.  Even Bitman should have water for the 'ground' below the play area even though it's not a tile in the actual stage because it's supposed to be an offshore drilling platform.

The key to not letting it get boring is going to have to be to get somewhat creative with water/fluid use.  My suggestions:

Low but constant damage - Wily
Instagib (hazards within the play area) - Dyna
Instagib (acting as stage borders to keep players on the ship/platform) - Bit, Wave
Full stage low gravity effect - Shark
Underwater areas - Blade
Underwater areas + directional currents from fans - Sonic
Underwater areas + strong conveyor effect in shallow areas - Volt
Shallow, decorative use only - Torch
Quicksand effect - Oil

Oh, and I went back and added more detail to the skyboxes on several maps.

Thats actually good ideas. Though maybe swap what the Lava in Dyna's stage does and Acid in Wily, cause the lava wasn't instant death but the acid killed you even if you were invincible.

Maybe add a touch of Flame Man style oil to bit's? There were fires in his stage under some oil drips. Or just make fire act like spikes as an actor.

I'm not sure if we need them yet, and if so I'll need to know exactly how big the walls that need covering are since that will have to be a complete custom texture like the house.

For instance in Bit's map off in the distance you can see the tanker, and in Wave's you can see the rig.

Also that sounds like a good idea for the layout.

hmm.  I don't know... there's definately some kind of pattern going on in dos3.  like how at the end of oil it uses the same tunnel textures as torch, and the same thing at the beginning of blade.  I've actually been trying to change the colors a bit on each and limit how often I just copy textures from one to the next to break that up since it doesn't seem to serve any real purpose.

Post by: fortegigasgospel on February 26, 2012, 03:42:05 PM
Yea I noticed it while looking at Torch's stage map. Every map has an "entrance" which you can't get to, sorta showing the player how you get there (since there is no visible evidence that Megaman can teleport).  I figured being able to see the tanker and oil rig off in the distance would be a nice visual touch.

*looks at Bit's textures*

Aw, shucks. You forgot to add the "JUMP" sign.

Very good work though, and I'll agree that there wasn't much to go off of... though it sure did seem like there would be a lot of textures for him. Suprisingly I feel a bit underwhelmed at Bit's textures (not at your quality of work, which is top-notch as usual), since I was actually rather excited for a large sheet... oh well.

But do you mind adding the JUMP sign that appears at the end of his stage? Thought it would be a neat little easter egg to add.

It's gonna be fun trying this map again. Thanks for all of your hard work, NemZ! I'm going to see to it that we will be the first expansion to feature your awesome tilesets. Or second, if those PU guys ever get off their butts and release a new version. Whichever comes first.

Added the car for Torch.  Nothing fancy, but it should suffice if you set it up right.

4w x 8l x 3h, two 45* slopes for windshields (it should be bigger than needed so there's wiggle room for the extra slant length)

Blade has points where you were in tubes so they had "holes" in them for you to see inside.

Yeah, in the game you're swimming through tubes that are cutaway to see inside, which wouldn't make much sense from a 1st person view so I mixed it up a bit.

Wily is done.  it's a Technicolor nightmare, but such is life.  Thinking of reworking Oil somewhat before I call it a day on this expansion though; that stage just wasn't looking good.

When I'm satisfied with that I'll do the punk stuff since it should be quick and easy.

After that, no promises.

A humongus thank you to you, Nemz! All the tiles look incredible, and this expansion would have gone nowhere without these!

I'll probably have to ring you up again for Rockman & Forte 2, since you did such an incredible job with these ones. I'll let you know when I need them. Thank you Nemz! This will help our mappers very much.

control box... you meant the 'hub' for the background wires and such?  Looking up drill real quick I note there was some sort of thing like that in the background now and then, though much less blocky than this one.  also sort of vaguelly similar to the mechanical things inside the tube in Crystal man's stage.

Post by: Magnet Dood on June 03, 2012, 03:20:23 AM
I like the new fence texture.

What the hell are all those red ones for though? As it stands, I don't have any plan to have oil silos you can get into. Perhaps it will be implemented in later versions.

And I also noticed some sand texture I think, along with some concrete of varying colors... Any idea what the sand is used for?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 03, 2012, 06:41:13 AM
Red?  That's a creamy orange, man... check your monitor calibration.  I added those so you didn't have to make every pipe gray, to give it a little more life overall without getting too colorful; it is still an industrial site, after all.  If you get creative you could even mix the tiles to add colored stripes around the silos, probably most 'authentic' to put them almost but not quite at the top.

Or did you mean the bricks?  I thought a dark red would work better than purple with all the new orange stuff.

Added the sand/gravel/concrete/whatever tiles for outside use, where you had grass last time I saw it.  As to 'what it's for'... a lot of this I'm just making up;  the first version was more true to the actual game but it looked too bland.

It's the same story with the brick work throughout the expansion.  The actual game uses the same damn white and green brick tiles over and over again on nearly every stage, so I recolored them in some and made smaller or worn brick variations for a few stages just to break up the monotony.

Oh, and those punk tiles are done.  Strangely enough mm10 doesn't actually use nes palette colors for that stage, so I substituted in the closest match.  Perhaps it's based on a combination of super gameboy palettes?

Post by: NemZ on June 04, 2012, 07:05:01 AM
I did just rip this time, actually.  I mean why do it from scratch when you don't have to, right?

I found a fairly good source photo on this so I image hacked out the tiles, color corrected to match the nes pallette, and then fired up the level on my wii and just stood around for a while to figgure out what the animation was doing.  So all together I only actually 'made' about 2/3 of these, and most of that was really simple changes from the base tiles... all of which is why I got it posted up here in a single day.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 08, 2012, 08:37:59 AM
So... MM&B2.  Bit of a mixed bag, really.  On the one hand the tiles are generally pretty damned cool, lots of nifty details, and despite being a slightly different aspect ratio they were still fairly easy to rip and resize.  On the other, there's hardly any of them... entire stages just use the exact same tiles over again and most areas only have like 8-12 tiles total, though I tried to stretch that as much as I could.  None of them really offer much for skyboxes either.

Yeah, I know.  Like the GB games they're actually built on an 8x8 grid but tend to be used in combinations like 24x16 or such, so in some places I had to stretch or squish things a little to make them fit the NES sizing... all of the ladders, for example.  Mostly though I think they just look different because they used a much grainier shading style to sort of fake having more shades of grey to work with.

I did a quick makeover on Aircon to make it feel underwater-ish.  That actually freed up the color palette that was only used for the sky so I used that to add a little more variety of rocks.

Anything else look like it needs different coloring?  I wish I had a better idea of what to do with Dangan and Clock since neither of them actually look like anything and they use exactly the same tilesets.  Same with Compass and Konro, though at least Compass added the 'outdoor' background.

Be sure to check the update I just made to those Storm Eagle textures before you get too far into it.  Looks like I forgot to remove the transparency on the windows earlier, which apparently doesn't work right on textures unless they are created opaque and then made transparent in the level editor.

Ah yes. I wonder which of the levels you were doing. Keep it a surprise if that's the case, though! I think you'll do fine no matter what you decide to craft, considering the high quality of the tiles you've done so far.

By the way, I noticed something while looking through your Megaman and Bass tiles:

Astro Man mk2 (the white panel tiles are slightly transparent, allowing actors placed behind it to create silhouettes)
Better make them white, for the same reason you found with the Storm Eagle windows. Well, actually, there is a WHITE texture in the core already, so do as you like. It's nitpicking now that I think about it, but it's... there.

Somewhat of a strange request, but (when and if you have the time for it) could you do the DLC packs from Powered Up? I mean stuff like the Weird Japan tile set, the Ghosts 'n Goblins stage... you know, things you find in the stage editor. I know a few YouTube players who demo stages built with these tiles if you need a video source or something.

Nemz, there's a small problem with the Chill Penguin textures. The slope tiles could be difficult to use because one would need to make a slope angle in which the texture looks right. Usually, mappers just make the slope and don't mind the cutoff texture. They're a nice addition, but seem impractical to use. All of the tileset looks neat, though.

Well, it's really up to mappers whether they'll use the tiles or not, but yeah. Just saying.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on September 17, 2012, 10:00:21 PM
Is it so hard to consistently use a slope of 1 high = 2 long for rocks/snow and 1 = 4 for those bronze-looking ones?  You'd think mappers would think about the textures they're using while they're mapping and not just slap them wherever like generic wallpaper.

But like I said, I probably won't bother with special slope tiles elsewhere.  I only did it here because slopes are EVERYWHERE in the stage and making it look consistently snow-covered requires them.

The mmv project is/was (hard to tell) an expansion based on megaman v for the gameboy.  Helping out with that was the reason I became interested in doing tilesets in the first place.

I should probably change in the first post though, as that was a while ago and no longer relevant.

Yeah, I went back and added a few more tiles for the floors/tops (and a quick little animation for the waterspout lifts) but apparently the new version I uploaded had a slightly different filename for some reason.  Should be working now.

Edit - and slightly changed again to get rid of an unintentional swastika by making the centers of the propellers holes rather than solid.

Edit 2 - also added the highway intro.  Whee!  I may come back to this and add damaged sections later... haven't quite figured out how to best go about that since leaving part of the edges transparent would look like shit in 3d, but then so might filling that portion in with a solid black.

The grey roadway tiles, of course!  Most of the green should be used for the sidewalls and pillars supporting the roads, hopefully made with 3d floors so the stage can be at a cloverleaf exchange (are curved slopes possible?) or something similar and not just some sort of Chargeman 2.0 with a long straight hallway.

I don't mean to be a pest, but I'd like to make a request.

I'd love if you could get the tiles and background from the first stage of Donkey Kong from Game & Watch Gallery 2. Don't worry about the jungle or the ice cap stages; I'm only looking for the factory stuff. Oddly enough nobody has rips from G&W2 Donkey Kong, but there are plenty of rips for the Game & Watch Gallery 4 version of the same game.

Here's the highest quality video I could find, for a reference.



If I can, I'd like to sort of move this request "in front of" the Powered Up extra tiles I asked for. Thanks.

Also, the texture on the bottom left of Launch Octopus's tileset has an odd measure. You might want to fix that 56x77, otherwise it's hard to use. Try a 64x64, if you can, or something not odd from these numbers: 32, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80... and so on.

Launch is fixed.  I must have accidentally trimmed part of it off when I was arranging things into a neat little bundle for posting.

RL is currently a bit hectic so I haven't made much progress on the other stages.

Looking these over again, it seems that Storm Eagle really is ridiculously simple.  I guess most of it's tile allotment went into the airship?  No wonder so much of the stage was jumping across platforms over gigantic open pits.

Quote

The short answer is photoshop.

The long answer... well, basically I take a ripped stage map and divide it up into tiles, eliminating any duplicates along the way.  Then I group all those tiles into palette groups and recolor each group with NES colors, cutting down on the shading until it's just 3 colors + the background (usually black or white).  From there I go in with a 1-pixel square pencil tool and tweak anything that got a little messy in the 8-bit conversion, and finally I make new tiles for animation and 3D surfaces that the 2D original stage can't provide.

That works for most of them, anyway.  For the Powered Up set I couldn't find ripped stages and had to make everything from scratch using let's play vids on youtube since I don't actually own that game.

GBC uses 15-bit RGB color, same as SNES (~30,000 possible colors).  The quality difference is in how many colors each can display at the same time and in how many layers of backgrounds & sprites, though I don't know those limitations off the top of my head.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: tsukiyomaru0 on October 28, 2012, 05:16:52 AM
GBA: 256 for background, 256 for sprite, shared among everything on screen/stage. Might be 16 colors per 8x8 tiles.
GBC: 32 for background, 32 for sprite, shared among everything on screen/stage. Might be 4 colors per 8*8 tiles.
Both are 15-bits in color-depth (32768 colors)

*WARNING: don't forget that games like Megaman uses two layers for some things, allowing characters and objects to have more colors displayer at once.

**SECONDARY WARNING: Nintendo is awesome.

Thanks for fixing Launch, Nemz. It also seems you updated Chill Penguin at a point... so, were there any others? Just wondering.

With the Storm Eagle map, I did what I could with the tiles. The fence looked too complicated to build piece by piece and there was no proper place to put it on anyway. The airport #### thing I used as a sign. Then when I look at the actual level, it was a slope. But that's fine, since I don't think I could've pulled it off properly. For places of small importance like floor edges and walls in the towers, I simply used textures that seemed to fit, at least color wise. The window textures feel small. I was going to make them twice as big, but dropped the idea fearing I might ruin them.

For Launch Octopus's stage, I could use some whirlpool sprites if you want to make them. I see the whirlpools being produced periodically by a spawner, and they would act like Tornado Hold in MM8. There's the issue of me not being able to code at all, but I believe I can find someone to help me with it.

Post by: NemZ on October 30, 2012, 05:55:57 PM
I don't recall doing anything more to CP's stage since I posted it... not sure what you're talking about.

I'm actually thinking I might revisit SE when the rest are done, maybe put together a tileable fence texture for you and extend the skybox to include airport stuff in the background rather than just clouds.  Maybe a broken version of the windows (which should be just tileable to whatever size you need) while I'm at it.

LO's whirlpools... maybe.  I could see about making different water animation tiles for when it's on underneath the water as well as the side view animation of the waterspout (which realistically should only extend slightly above the water line at most).  Come to think of it, I forgot to add water tiles at all...   :shock:

Now that I think about it, the platforms with snow... were they always there? I had seen them before, but I don't recall seeing snow on them... must be that short term memory again. Blame college.

Please don't bother with Storm Eagle's fence, really. Unless you really want to do it for the tile collection. But like I said, they won't fit anywhere in the current layout I made, and I'd need to make a new map just for that. Then again, someone else might want to do it...

For the whirlpools, something as simple as two pillars of spiral lines will do nicely. Water tiles aren't really needed because there are plenty in 8BDM already, but yeah... it's your tileset. If you want to make things more complex, go ahead. Your stuff is of great quality.

Double post.

Nemz, I was thinking of trying my hand at an Armored Armadillo map someday, but then I figured I'd like to implement a moving platform gimmick. You know, like in the level, when one takes the platorm and rolls all the way downwards. I know spriting isn't your thing, but it would be great if there existed sprites for such a prop.

And thanks to Jaxof's Stick Gutslift code, people could actually ride them! The problem is coding them so they move and respawn when they dissapear, but that's another story.

I had another suggestion, but I forgot.  :|

The rails... the things people will ride on?  Tracks?

And yes, if people could actually stick to and ride them that changes things.  Still not sure how that would work since you'd mostly expect to see them from above and sprite rotations don't really work for that.

Easy enough on the mammoth tiles.  Or tile, I should say... if it's frozen it shouldn't be animated.

...Oh, yes, of course. How silly of me.

For people sticking to the platforms, I'd first have to see how Jax made them work. I haven't actually downloaded the thing yet. No need to worry about sprite rotations much, since people are used to scaling Item 1 anyway. I might even give spriting them a try myself.

And yeah, it's basically replace two colors and that's it. Pretty simple, but it would be intriguing. For example, one can make the lava change to the cooled off floor through a script, which would activate at 5 frags left. This would allow for getting at a few other places.

Started something new today, something long overdue, imho... WW Airman.  I took some liberties with the tiki heads (goblins should release from corners rather than sides because... well, because I felt like it) but I thought it would be worth it to actually be able to get up on top of those guys for once, complete with horns.  Skybox is mostly awol as well because WW Airman has clouds that are both animated and slowly scrolling by in the backgrounds.

Also, I'm not really sure why the hell I haven't been pasting these updates in as I go as well as in the first post, but starting now that's how I'm doing it.

Those look so good. It's a total shame that I can't use them in the remix map I made.

And I mean that NES Airman textures look like someone wanted to get out of work early when they were made.

Post by: Geno on December 15, 2012, 02:32:34 AM
I remember I made something similar to those Airman tile devamps, but I used the original NES palette. (you know, the white, black, blue and red one.)
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on December 15, 2012, 01:09:38 PM
It still is mostly the same color scheme since the blue was the background showing through the alpha channel from the background.  I just filled some of that in with black because transparent sections don't work well with 3d floors, which an Airman stage desperately wants to use.  Making the common color white rather than blue opened up a lot more room for shading.

Post by: Knux on December 30, 2012, 12:21:17 AM
Nemz, you know that blue generator tile in Flame Mammoth's tileset? Could you give it a red tint for me? It's for a CTF map, and I can't get it to look right.

Huh, that's weird.  Same shades of red I always use, right out of the closest to NES RGB values I can find.  Did you try both rendering modes?  I know the palette file was changed for v3 so who knows what might happen.

I assure you this is totally nes legal despite all those extra colors.  Palette cycling is nifty like that.

This would probably look especially cool (heh) if most of it was set to be partially transparent, and not just the 'fence' sections that should be layered with the backgrounds to give some depth, similar to how Burner Man was arranged.  WW stages just love paralax scrolling backgrounds.

Ahh, you meant seeing them used in a stage map... I thought you were saying something about the tiles themselves.  Yeah, seeing them actually get used somewhere would of course be the hope, and some of the tilesets for the first few games were pretty craptastic so it's a good upgrade all around.  

I probably will not be doing wily wars versions of mm3 though because they didn't get anywhere near the same 'remix' treatment as the first two.

Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Knux on February 24, 2013, 05:34:21 AM
You know Nemz, when using your tiles people sometimes ask themselves what textures to use as floors. So that brings the question: do you make floor tiles for every set, just for some or do you leave floors for others to make? It's just a little confusing, is all.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on February 24, 2013, 03:24:57 PM
I usually try to think of the tops and sides of things that aren't actually visible in the original tilesheet, yeah, but if you just look at the original stage in question it shouldn't be too hard to figgure out.

In this case I made 3 variations of the normal and cracked bricks (pink) for just that purpose, along with a solid 'slab' area to top off some sections and a 'hole' texture to break it up, and the grey tubes (with custom endcaps) could certainly be navigable surfaces as well to break it up a bit.  The more purple stuff should probably be confined to some special area walls and the skybox.

If people have questions like that I'm always happy to help, and in several cases I've gone back and made extra things to fit a need that the original sheet didn't cover.

Even if there is a floor-considered texture by NemZ, you could still use the one which looks the most floorish to you, it's only a recommandation. Like, in the NES version of Cut Man's stage, the inside wall texture (a.k.a as "plain gray color" =w=) has been used as a wall but also a floor in the halls of the MM8BDM Cut Man-
Cre, cre, creative.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on February 25, 2013, 04:12:28 PM
I'd use the various white/orange tiles, perhaps with green/orange piping borders, for most of the floors.  Perhaps bricks here and there to break it up.

But yes, floor tiles are always just going to be a judgment call because clearly the games aren't going to tell you what to put there.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Rozark on February 25, 2013, 09:13:01 PM
Well, I did science and am now using the darker tiles, seeing as that is more fitting for the sort of map in the works.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on February 26, 2013, 03:53:37 AM
Hey, if you say so.  If you look at the actual stage it's based on, however, the darker grey rectangle stuff is all background walls.  Just sayin.



And yes, I know I left out the glowing animation.  I did that on purpose to simplify things and let the orange tie things together a bit more.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Rozark on February 26, 2013, 07:24:52 AM
Well, I just needed a more variety of a tileset for Cutman, because too much bright green isn't great for this sort of map I'm making. I slightly altered a few things, but when the final version is all said and done, you'll still be credited for providing these resources. I'm not sure if you looked at the screenshots thread at the time, but I've already made a map using some of the Wily Wars Gutsman tiles. There's probably a few others I'll use as I continue to create and finish these maps for Rozpack V3.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on February 26, 2013, 01:19:24 PM
Sure, cool.  I have a thing about sticking to the strict nes pallete limits but that isn't always best for the look of a stage so I understand if you change things up.

Nope, I haven't seen what you've done with guts.  There's really on a few threads I pay any attention to around here and I haven't actually played MM8BDM in quite some time.  I just do this stuff because it's fun and keeps me busy when my workload drops off.  Juggling 4 jobs atm though, including backgrounds and sprites for another phone game (woo!) so don't expect WW2 Wood to be done anytime soon.

The Guts Man Remixed map I made based on a layout by YD uses your WW Guts textures as well as the core ones. The map's posted on the CSCM thread, so you might wanna take a look. I'm not sure I used the texture with the two pipes correctly. In fact, it's nearly all over the place on caves. I also wasn't sure about the rocky grates even after looking at the level, so I used them both on walls and on some floors outside.

Eh, it's better if you just see it for yourself. (http://www.mediafire.com/?uszcb9z9dyxnspr)

I'm working on a map using R-Shadow's textures, and I hope you don't mind that I made a couple of minor adjustments to your textures.
(http://i.imgur.com/MQ4ZAwe.png)
Mainly got rid of the graininess as requested (I'm using the blue one to experiment with), also added the grey textures as well as the super thin walls.
Looking at the background to the stage, the main one seems to be more metallic, where you made it seem temporal. Also the one near the end (the lower one) kinda looked like it was supposed to have pillars in it. Nothing wrong, just pointing out something I noticed.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on August 18, 2013, 04:27:45 PM
the pillars are on the edges.  when it's tiled they'll show up.

And yeah, that whole set used dithering (the graininess) constantly to try and pretend the wonderswan had more shades of grey available than it actually did.  It's a rather distinctive look specific to that title, so I left it in... not like it has much else going for it with a whole whopping 4-6 blocks per stage and most of those shared between two stages.

...and what do you mean by 'temporal'?  The blue?  I just didn't want to use gray again so that the walls would stand out better.

Nemz, I have some trouble understanding Dyna Man's tileset. I get the obvious things like windows, brick and wood walls, and the box textures. Everything else though, I'm not sure about even though I went to see a video of the stage.

Next to the bricks is the Conveyor Belt with the side angles under them.
Between the belt and the rocks is just a metal pillar.
Upper right is the pipe that the lava bucket moved across, with the thing that dropped the trash under that.
Below that is the arrows that warned you of the hole and the metal blocks used to jump over the first hole next to it.
Obviously the ladder is below those and the spikes along the wall are next to the ladder.
Lastly you have the metal bits and designs.

as part of v4 I'm going back to do the missing King stages, and reworked the one I previously had done a bit.  King 1 and 3 will be uploaded eventually, but I added links while I was at it so it will be automatic later when they actually connect to something.

Uh... actually that part was pretty easy.  It took longer to assemble the whole thing as a single pic around all the damn foreground elements then it did to convert it to 8-bit.  I'm actually worried it might be a bit too big, as it's meant to be tiled both horizontally and vertically.

Figuring out how to make the rest of the stage work was a much bigger problem with the way it tends to put green stuff in a purple frame in a lavender frame.  That will probably need to be worked out ahead of time into specific compound blocks before it's really usable for mapping, but that can't really be done right until you know the dimensions of the map spaces you need to cover.

So wily stages 2-4 all use the same tiles just pallateswapped.  They each use different parts to be a little bit different, such as the spinning things on 2 exclusively and only 3 having water, but it's really all the same.  I figured I might as well just recolor the whole thing, but the second image has the parts deleted from each that weren't used there, so here you go.  They break the NES color rules if you don't use these limitations, however.

Personally I'd like to see colorized tiles from MMI (Dr. Wily's Revenge), we could use them to give a bit more flavor to the more simple tilesets of NES Cut, Ice, Fire, and Elec.

supply the textures somehow (even a link) and I'll do it myself, I don't know if they have been ripped. Bonus points if you manage the other games too.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on January 21, 2014, 10:00:51 AM
You don't have to look any further than vgmaps.com (http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/GB-GBC/index.htm#MegaManDrWilysRevenge) for almost any map worth looking at.

And here's cutman's tiles to get you started:

(http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p343/nemss1/Megaman%20tiles/gb_cuttiles.png) (http://s344.photobucket.com/user/nemss1/media/Megaman%20tiles/gb_cuttiles.png.html)

Recoloring these should be extremely easy.  The only potential complications are creating top and bottom tiles for some of these textures, or in a few spots needing to keep in mind that GB tiles come in functional blocks of 8x8 since they don't need to worry about color palates, so while usually the normal sizes work sometimes you just have to fudge things a little bit to keep it consistent with NES tiles.  

For example, look at the crazy shit going on with the dr. W sign because it's 24x24 rather than 32x32.  I suggest leaving it out or just slapping a normal nes version in there instead.  Dealing with the thin platforms is up to you... double them up?  stretch it out?  just make half of it up?  totally up to you, there is no correct answer there.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Knux on January 22, 2014, 09:11:24 PM
The problem with VG Maps is that it never has maps with tile animation frames ripped, as far as I've seen. Spriter's Resource usually does include them, but some games have incomplete collections of maps. Check this out, for instance. (http://www.spriters-resource.com/game_boy/mmdrwily/)
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on January 23, 2014, 04:45:16 AM
I use TSR as a secondary source when needed, but more often than not I just stick with VGA and either play the stage myself or watch a letsplay if i don't have it to see what is animated.  

Even then I leave half of the animation out because it just isn't worth the effort... some stages need it, others don't.  The Wily Wars for example tends to add animation bloody EVERYWHERE and it's just overkill.  Besides, animated tiles can be much more distracting in a 3d environment so I think it's better for MM8BDM gameplay to keep it to small touches in most cases.  My rule of thumb is that if it's something that logically should move, like a fan, I animate it.  If it's just some random glow effect or flashing lights it depends on how visually 'busy' the rest of the stage is.

Hey Nemz, I'm working on a Blade DOS map currently, and I find the lack of floors on the tileset rather frustrating. So, I was wondering if you could make me some I could use. I was going to simply do what the core does and recolor the black in wall textures and use that as a floor, but I was thinking you might have something else in mind.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on May 25, 2014, 10:10:00 AM
I added some stone slabs, some larger metal and rock tiles, and also made the skybox a little more interesting with a simple mountain pattern.  That help?

In retrospect I have no idea why I made the bricks have that turquoise / dark grey / light grey fade like that.  Could maybe do something interesting with it but likely far more work than is worth it.  :?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Knux on May 28, 2014, 01:09:32 AM
Yeah, I was wondering about how the heck I'd use them as well, but I might just be able to come up with something. Thing is, more textures opens up more possibilities, so yeah. One thing that did frustrate me though, was the size of the pipe textures. They're 96x96 when in the game, and holes that big can be kind of difficult to land into in the middle of a firefight. I also modified those pipes to be transparent where they're black with blue dots because the visibility will be needed.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on May 28, 2014, 03:33:36 PM
Ah, I was thinking of those as the view from inside, not a window out.  I wanted them to be claustrophobicly narrow but still with just a little bit of wiggle room while running down them horizontally, maybe feeling a little similar to the ring of watery death tubes in mm1dw2.

Being more specific, I'm looking for two different sets of normal-flavor tiles and skyboxes. By "skyboxes", I mean I'd like the same skybox in two different color schemes; the idea is that the skybox would change colors when the boss music activates, like how the background during boss battles is an off-color version of the background seen in that area's virus battles.

[5:07:25 PM] SmashMan: and then two/three representative stages from each BN game

Visually, in a way I was thinking similarly to how Custom (http://media.gamerevolution.com/images/games/gamecube/custom_robo/custom_robo_001.jpg) Robo (http://cdn3.spong.com/screen-shot/c/u/customrobo133183/_-Custom-Robo-GameCube-_.jpg) battle (http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/Hecmgb1FJE8/hqdefault.jpg) stages (http://cdn2.spong.com/screen-shot/c/u/customrobo133182/_-Custom-Robo-GameCube-_.jpg) are structured out. They're enclosed within a space, but they don't have ceilings per se; all the action is contained within the arena, which has various walls and pits and what-not scattered about. I would appreciate floor tiles, "upper" wall tiles for floor pieces / playable area, and "lower" wall tiles for the outsides of the stage and non-playable area. Oh yeah, and skyboxes. Also a wiggly barrier thing for the edge of the stage (separating the stage from the transparent grid effect that extends into the skybox) would be neat but I'm just saying

Sorry for more DOS crap to bug you about, but I wanted to ask a few questions about Volt Man's tiles.

I'm really not sure how to set up the brick tiles all too well. The green and blue ones aren't too tricky, but it's the grey ones that don't make a whole lot of sense. Are the top 4 supposed to be for the outside of the building, and the bottom 4 for inside?

Also, the spider web is supposed to have the black background, right? That's the way I currently have it set up.

Finally, do you mind making some floor textures for Volt, too? I know it must be a pain by now, but there's not a whole lot to use on the outside of the power plant except for the grey brick everywhere.

Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on June 07, 2014, 03:33:20 AM
I'll see what I can do about volt textures.  The problem with the bricks is that every damn MM3 DOS stage used basically the same brick textures, so I tried to get a bit experimental with them in places and probably didn't think it through all that well at the time.

SmashBro, you aren't being an asshole... I'm sure this makes perfect sense to somebody who's actually played the BN games.  I think I get what you're saying now, the battle arena pics helped immensely.  Consider the request added to my list of stuff to do eventually.

Okay, reworked the bricks and pulled the background off of the spiderwebs so you can use them as decorations rather than the walls themselves.  Also smoothed out the clouds to be a bit more cheerful and cartoony.  Better, right?

I doubt it, but would it be too much to ask for Constellation Droid and Robotized Masters too? Just cause this is freaking amazing.
Don't gotta of course.

A small request, the trees from mm7 shade.  I don't know how big you want to go with the branches, so it's a bit of a mix and match for now.

I was bored this weekend and and all this happened:

(http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p343/nemss1/Megaman%20tiles/ww3%20magnet.png)

(http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p343/nemss1/Megaman%20tiles/ww3%20hard.png)

(http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p343/nemss1/Megaman%20tiles/ww3%20shadow.png)

So I guess that means I will be doing all of Wily Wars afterall.  Yay?

Not entirely happy with those top platforms honestly, but not sure what else to do with them as they just don't look much like tops if you make them square-ish to fill the whole block.  Might look at that again later if I think of anything or if anybody has a better idea.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on February 09, 2015, 04:01:09 PM
And a few more!  turns out these ARE rather different from the NES tiles afterall.

(http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p343/nemss1/Megaman%20tiles/ww3%20gemini.png)

Also I did come up with what I think is a better fix for top platforms.  Just make it a 3d floors block and add the tapered bottom of the top as a fixed actor rather than as a texture, all with a simple 2-step animation to sell it as spinning.

Hey NemZ. Thanks for your hard and great work on those tilesets.
I am the creator of a Megaman-like engine and game called Rockbot (http://rockbot.upperland.net/) that is set on the Megaman Universe but meant not to use Capcom copyrighted assets.
Lately I was planning to add some stages from Megaman as an package (as I said before, Rockbot is an engine, so you can create multiple games with its editor) to be available as a kind of DLC, and I just found your tilesets, and man, they are brilliant *.*
I will be using some of those, so thank you a lot for doing this :)

So a while ago I did the MM&B tiles and said at the time I wasn't all that thrilled with the version of Dynamo Man that I churned out.  Well, I finally got around to taking a second swing at that, taking some cues from the one used for that stage in mm8bdm...minus the weird pink stuff.

Post by: Knux on February 04, 2016, 11:43:36 AM
Those look really nice as usual. Just keep in mind however that floor and ceiling flat size should always be a multiple of 2, such as 16 and 32 so that they don't bug out visually.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on February 04, 2016, 12:01:44 PM
They should all be a multiple of 16 actually.  Did something get cut off somewhere?
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: Knux on February 04, 2016, 01:09:24 PM
Well... not yet, thankfully. I was just referring to the ice floor there that's 32x48. Thing is, they're difficult to use properly so in the case of things like the 48x48 floors in Fire PU's set, I just split them into nine tiles to avoid having to move sectors all the time.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: NemZ on February 05, 2016, 03:33:41 AM
But in the game that's a giant fixed-size block, kind of like Air Tikis.  Breaking that up is... weird.  I just figured you'd be taking that sort of thing into account in the stage design.

That floor was 48x16 originally, but I thought it was a bit too small.  It should tile fine though, so no biggie to just apply it all at once.

If you're not busy, could you please make the Sigma Stage 2 and 3 tilesets from X1, or at least give a sample to go off of so I could finish the rest of them? I don't need anything 3D since I could do the translations myself if needed.

Nemz made a pretty good tutorial on making your own tiles (http://cutstuff.net/forum/index.php?topic=7539.0), which is pretty much the only reason you post on these forums. I gotta recommend checking it out and giving it a shot.
Edit: I take that back, you already know about that tutorial. Still, give it a shot dude, you can't rely on everyone to make things happen for you. Sometimes you gotta make it happen yourself.
Title: Re: NemZ's tileset emporium
Post by: ThelegendaryTom on October 17, 2016, 01:33:54 AM
Lol yeah. I have tried to use method and in fact, am reasonably good with it if I have a palette. I can do great with that method if I had a simple palette and example to go off of. And well, for the record, I do see what you mean. Yeah I would like to do everything own. But I have been doing things on my own all the time. In fact, I have to take the role as lead spriter, coder and advertiser (in terms of my fan-game) along with dealing with life and school. Personally, a small push in the right direction, even a small one, can help a long way~ :) Like said, I only need a sample (aka a palette and example) as I have read he is busy so I dont want to give him too hard of work.

Quick update... I was skimming through my old stuff for reasons and noticed that weird black sky I gave Launch Octopus's stage.  I have no idea why that was a thing in the first place and it kinda bugged me, so it's not anymore.

I did 2&3 now.  1 was already done but I noticed a bit I missed earlier so it got an update.  At that point I figured I might as well link stage 4 just for the hell of it to round out the whole bunch, even though I didn't touch that one since last time.
