Any of the Tile A sheets have their own set of rules and will be discussed at another time, although many of the techniques in this tutorial still apply. The first thing you want to do after starting up Gimp is to open up the images you want to combine. In this case I am using Celianna’s Tile E (because I knew it had room to add tiles into) and I will be adding doors from her tavern parallax set. I have opened both of these files in Gimp. If this is the way you want to go, go to File and New Image.īoth sets can be found here: Īnother option is to start with a blank image for your Tilesheet. Go to Advanced Options and make sure Fill With is set to Transparency. The next thing I do is turn on the grid for all of the images I am using. For some RPG Maker tasks, you won’t need the grid, but when you are cutting and pasting tiles it is essential. So go on up to View and select Show Grid. Most likely your grid will not be set correctly. You want to have a 32 x 32 pixel grid since this is the basic size of a tile in Ace. To change the grid, go to Image and Configure Grid. At the Spacing option, change it to 32 x 32 (making sure it is set to measure in pixels). If you find yourself working with a lot of Ace tiles, you can change the Default Grid settings in Preferences under Edit.Īnd last before I start cutting and pasting, I turn on Snap to Grid for each image. Now that our set up is out of the way, go to the image that contains the tile you want to add. Using the rectangle select tool, select the tile that you want to move. This is where Snap to Grid first comes in handy. The rectangle select tool will snap to the grid lines, ensuring that you don’t mistakenly leave a row of pixels out or pick up extra pixels from neighboring tiles, which can cause big problems. Next you want to simply copy your selection. You can do so by going up to edit, by right-clicking or by using the CTRL-C command. Now, go back to the sheet you are moving the graphics into.
Paste the graphics into this sheet (using edit, right-click or CTRL-V).
