NemZ's tileset emporium

[fortegigasgospel]

I think he means CSCM's remixed maps, if I had to take a stab at it.

Yes, that is what I ment.

[NemZ]

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.

[Knux]

Wait a second. I can use the WW Air Man tiles in my Air Man Remixed! Just you wait until this weekend... kekekeke.

I'm gonna start thinking of a good layout so I can use those MM7 Intro Stage tiles as well.

[NemZ]

Bubble Man, yo.  I might add the background later, but that wavy effect is a huge headache.

[NemZ]

Heat man.  Yes, the stage is pink in the genesis version.  Deal with it.

also added a little more animation to WW Metal

[Knux]

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.

[NemZ]

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.

Alright then, what would be considered the floor tiles in Wily Wars Cutman?

Alright then, what would be considered the floor tiles in Wily Wars Cutman?

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.

[NemZ]

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.

[Rozark]

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.

[NemZ]

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.

[Rozark]

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.

[NemZ]

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.

[Knux]

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.
