Is there an easy way to change tilesets?

#1 Post by Kurayumei »

Hi all,

I have zero experience with programming, but I was wondering if there was some sort of addon around that would make changing tilesets easy. Something like... For x monster, change y tile to z... and then you upload the new tile.

Just curious because I'd like to muck around with different tilesets in Tome for my own amusement.

Unless I'm misreading something, it should be quite easy to do. You just need to get an addon that overloads the relevant files. Start here if you haven't already, and make sure you can access the game's code by unzipping tome-0.9.44.teaa in [Tome folder]/game/modules.

First, find where the .png you are looking for is stored in the game code (IIRC, it's something like data/gfx/shockbolt/monsters)
Next, make (or copy/paste) a .png in the same place in your addon, and make it (or modify it) however you want.

put the addon in the addon folder, make sure it is activated, and your next character should be using the modified tileset.
