Compatibility

[Bradley]

Hey there everyone,

So I was looking into buying some custom tiles. And I stumbled across these..

http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/graphics/time-fantasy

 

Just to quickly ask, are the tiles&characters both compatible with Intersect and Orion?

[jcsnider]

Yes. Or they can easily be converted so they are. I would recommend buying them off of gamedevmarkeplace or something like that so you don't end up with a license saying you can only use them in rpg maker.

Cheers, Reason I'm asking is because the free one I tried to test in Intersect didn't seem to work correctly which bummed me out a little bit, I guess I can give it a shot!

[jcsnider]

What was wrong? We might have tools here to help ya make em work.

[Bradley]

It had 3 frames instead of 4 frames. So it wasn't reading the file correctly? Or is it as simple as adding an extra frame?

 

 

[jcsnider]

Yup, it just needs the extra frame. I believe this tool will do it for you

 

 

[Bradley]

I'll take a look into it! Cheers.

@Essence @jcsnider I've been using these sprites and tilesets myself, though using Damian's converter I ran into an issue with some of the sprites going funky. I've written my own version of his tool that did not have this issue, and did not cut off the sprites on the side either: 

By default the sprites all come in 16x16 though (if you get them from any other soruce than the RPG Maker Site), so you may need to scale them up. The RPG Maker tiles come as 48x48.

 

Be aware that buying them from RPG Maker only allows you to use them in RPG Maker. Their licensing is messed up.

Game Character Hub on steam is an insanely useful tool. I am also using the Time Fantasy graphics and jump between that program and Gimp.

Alright sweet!  Hopefully I can make decent looking characters
