NemZ's tileset emporium

[Russel]

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.

[NemZ]

Huh, news to me.  I guess I have a few updates to make then.

Elec_PU, Ice_PU, Astro_&B and Volt_Dos have been reuploaded without the semi-transprent effects.  If I missed any others, please let me know.

[NemZ]

Shark is up.  Required lots of transitional tiles, blending one texture to the next... should be interesting to see what can be done with that, how smooth it ends up looking.

[Magnet Dood]

I can see why this took a while- this looks great! The little pirate ship details are really cool.

Hopefully some good mappers will bring these tiles to life!

[NemZ]

made a couple of tweaks to Dyna Man's stage, mostly messing with the lava/chemicals/whatever.  Next to all those other stages it was looking kinda unloved.

Wonder if this may help you, its kinda jumbled.

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.

[NemZ]

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.

[Magnet Dood]

Those crankshafts are going to look sexy in that map.

Thanks again, NemZ! Nice work as always!

[NemZ]

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.

[Magnet Dood]

Good point, but we might just do two different sets.

Interesting propostition though...

[NemZ]

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.

Could you do a megaman zx or zero tileset?

[NemZ]

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.

How about some Battle Network tilesets-- *shot*

I'm really digging those PC sheets though. Keep up the good work!

On a more serious note, how good are you at custom spriting? I'd like a volcano if that isn't too much trouble.
