View Full Version : Custom Tile Sets

Now how about if you were to use something,
like paint, photoshop, gimp etc and it was a still image file (bmp, img etc), and you made it pertaining to the height and width limit, you could upload it to the the map editor and use it as a tile?
you could then assign if it was a solid object, fallthrough object, background object, or a ladder. you could also make lots of custom tile sets, or even remake the previous ones
you could still send the maps to people, just they couldn't use the tiles. The system, if advanced, could let you send custom tile sets to other players.
I think this would be a great addition, seing as maps would be alot better, yet there doesn't have to be any updates to the game. (note that you should be able to see who made the map (another good idea, I RESERVE THAT RIGHT TOO!!) and be able to report them for inapropriate content, seing as people will be making their maps giant penises :confused:)

I like it :D
but i suck at gimp :(
i love the idea of the names of creator with the map, like add it in with the map syntax or something.

I made a castle tile once. But its like 57x57... this would be hard. if you notiice how pawn is animated, some people can maqke amazing tiles which would look horrible around pawn scenery.

Maybe you would have to have 50,000 points to upload a tile. And if you are reported for having a bad tile in your map, you will be permanantly banned.

I like this idea, there would be a section in the Map Editor called Custom, in there would be tiles your made. Of course theres a height and width requirement, and maybe it would have to pass by mods or admins before being used (in case of porn of other images)
Excellent idea!!

I've been thinking about this too, except I was thinking that we could have a section in the forum for submitting custom tiles and backgrounds that we've made and if they are good enough they get hosted in the game for everyone to use.
But since not everyone uses the forum and everyone would want to be able to see how their tiles that they've made look or for testing tiles you may want to submit, I think the custom section to map editor would be a good idea.

The only problem, which can be fixed, but still seems to be a problem is how it will saved, you the map code thingy

Thats smart because you know some one will put something inappropriate
so maybe it should have to be approved first
this would be alittle complicated to do though

hence the report for inappropriate content (just mods would be very strict on this)
The only problem, which can be fixed, but still seems to be a problem is how it will saved, you the map code thingy
could just have a "create new tile set" option which goes to "name tile set" it could be saved just like maps, there could even be a limit to how many tiles sets you make (like 12 or something) so noobs wouldn't just keep making empty tile sets
A good idea, but, the reality is, it probably won't happen.
WHY? Coding.
I might be wrong about how exactly the map editing/map system works, but, from what I understand...
1. You make a map in map editor
2. You convert it into a code when you save it to your slots with numbers that represent EVERY indivisual tile that you have used, including the spaces, team deathmatch/assualt mode and background number.
3. When you host that map, the code is read by the server and it literally builds the map out of that code.
Custom tiles will mean that:
1. The server would have to have EVERYONE's images on it (Not good)
2. Every single custom tile IN EXISTENCE would have to have an indivisual code (You've gotta be kidding me.)
3. More lag for you. (YAY!!!!!!!!!! [/sarcasm])
Also, abuse will be a problem, definately. And reports won't stop them.
People will post "Naughty" pictures.
or even child "naughty" pictures if they can do it without the fbi finding out
Its not a good idea at all
but if there were ip bans
and someone to monitor the tiles then yes.
I would but as of now I do not.
