[QUOTE="Darraketh, post: 194462, member: 847"] Well... when you look at the text file the first word is the description of the tile. When a tile is selected it's description appears in on the status bar of the program. Next is the tile's identifier followed by the tile's file name. The identifier must begin at [b]column 50[/b] from the lines beginning. Spaces only. [b]No tabs![/b] While the description can be anything you want the identifier has a format. T is for terrain tiles and H is for the overlays like the village and lair tiles. Three digits giving each tile a unique number follow this. The file name of the tile follows the number. No spaces. Example: Farmland T001farmland.bmp The identifier “T001farmland.bmp” must begin at column 50! Also you will notice a small black box on the last line of the text file if you are using notepad. [b]DO NOT delete this![/b] It is the end of file marker and is necessary for the program to read the file properly. I hope this helps. And by all means post your custom tiles… please. And no rounser I haven't tried to print a map in black and white yet but that is a good suggestion. [/QUOTE]
