Convert a specific tileset within your pokeemerald project to triple layer.

If you do not know what Triple-Layer Metatiles are

Read this pret tutorial first for a specific explanation on triple-layer metatiles.

Download

The tool can be downloaded here.

Usage

This required python3 so download and install that. Then run the following command from the directory which contains the python script:

python3 triple_layer_converter_pointed.py --tsroot <path/to/pokeemerald/data/tilesets>

For my pokeemerald-expansion project located at this path /User/Me/Desktop/decomps it looks something like this:

python3 triple_layer_converter_pointed.py --tsroot User/Me/Desktop/decomps/pokeemerald-expansion/data/tilesets

This will list all tilesets in your project and prompt to you enter the one you'd like converted. It will say the name and [OK] when it's complete

Potential FAQ's

What is the difference between this tool and SBird's on the tutorial?

SBirds tool points to the /data/tilesets directory, and converts all tilesets to triple layer. This tool (which is based on SBird's), is pointed to the same directory, but parses for available tilesets, prints a list of available tilesets, and prompts you to input the tileset you would like converted.

What uses does this have?

You know what.. I don't know because SBird's code has a {SKIP} for tilesets that are already formatted meaning it should not overwrite them.
