If you just downloaded my packaged version 0.10, that doesn't have the new ground tiles in it.
The old ones that you get with that set are WAY too dark. I don't disagree with that at all.
Or do you mean that you think the new ground tiles were too dark as well?

Oh, I see now.  Well, they still looked pretty good, but the ones in the screenshot above do look better (and way less dark).

Here you go!

This should solve your dark floor problems.
Let me know if you still think they're too dark.

Ironhand Graphics: new version; see signature.

That's got graphics support for dwarves and critters!
And it's a good way to check out tile magic in action.

I think I'll be redoing trees to use magic tiles later.

So I used Tile Magic to do some pretty cool stuff in my new graphics set release.

You know how in previous graphics sets you get brown squares around stuff in mud?
If you've checked out the underground and you're like me, then this has bothered you.
But no longer!




Now there's no more bright squares.
Also, no black squares!

Shrooms and webs and plants are all just
slapped right on top there. Ain't that nice?

This is all included in my newest graphics release. Check it out

Well, I believe there's a word that properly suits this, but I'm not sure if I should say it...

Anyway, that' very nice looking, I'm updating now. Keep up the awesomeness please.

Ironhand, you have a great tileset in the works. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished. Thanks for the hard work.

You're a gifted artist, Ironhand.  These graphics are gorgeous.

Sweet, thanks.

I'm gonna release another version tomorrow.
All the colors and some of the tiles should be a bit brighter.

There's a new tile for water/magma/sand/etc as well.
It's pretty cool.

I really have no idea what this thread is. But I'd like to know more.
Also I need help. I'm never any good at coloring or shading anything, mainly cuz I use paint, and I made this tree that I want to shade and stuff to make it all tile magic like.

Uh... hey.

Yeah, tile magic is pretty much, like, the basis of my graphics set.
And I know you know about my graphics set. You spend loads of time over there.

Shading is just a matter of taking that tile that you have (white leaves on a transparent trunk),
and slapping down a bunch of semi-transparent pixels over top of it. That might be hard to do in paint.

I'd suggest something like Gimp, that lets you use a paintbrush tool rather than just a pixel pencil.

ugh I'm no good with that stuff.
Well fuck, I'm screwed.
I'll leave it up to you and eventually come back to this because of boredom then give it up immediately because of refusal to redownload Gimp, Photoshop or anything else.

gimp is free and so is paint.NET (not a website but the actual name)

edit instead of making new post:  oh sorry then (responded to under this post)

Gonna take a few days and try to reverse engineer everything first because I have no clue what I'm doing at this point. I just want the biggest tileset I can get away with.
