Blue water tilez?

I seem to recall more than one person saying they're going to make blue water tiles, but I don't seem to recall who said it or if they ever made some. I've been out of the loop for so long, I wouldn't be surprised if Requiem sent me some and I completely forgot

I think Requim said he made them. I've made some a long time ago, but they don't work right. I think they lack proper bounding boxes and stuff. If someone wants to pick up from where I've stopped I can mail them to you, or maybe upload them to my yahoo board. I'm too bored and had to do stuff now to fiddle with 'em.

Cheers, Flamescreen.

Weeeeell, Requiem? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell?

I'd take a stab at making some myself, but my artistic abilities are of the more... abstract kind.

Plus you NEED Photoshop 5 or higher.

Yeah I did send you some MV, they weren't brilliant, the corners and some of the edge tiles were a little ropey but I did send them to you, JJ and OTB. If you can't find them maybe JJ or OTB still have them as I can't get online from home at the moment.

PS you don't need photoshop to make tiles, just about any graphics software will do, if it allows you to save pngs with a mask. I use Corel 8 myself.

Ah, yes, ok, i thought it was like sprites in which you need an alpha layer(I think i use that in my tutorial), so Pshop.

does Corel save with alpha channels btw?

Not pngs, but as long as I've masked out the background etc, when I convert to zar it comes out okay.
