Micro Tileset Insertion Summary - Pawkkie/Team-Aquas-Asset-Repo GitHub Wiki

Written by Oomer

• Up to 16 colors in a palette (duh)

• tiles are 8x8 each, try to delete duplicates

• use a program that can extract palettes (into a .pal file) I use graphicsgale, it's the easiest to use for decomps

• group tiles into a palette number in any art program, there are 6 palettes per tileset

• (0-5 for primary, 6-12 for secondary)

• you theoretically COULD use palette numbers 0-5 or 6-12 in both, but keep in mind these palettes will be switched out once you switch the tileset out

to insert:

• Make a new tileset in porymap- Tools -> New Tileset

• choose your map

• under metatiles, there is an option to switch out primary and secondary tileset

• choose the tileset you just created

• Go to Tools -> Tileset editor

• To import the palette file, go to the tileset's first respective palette number

• again for primary, numbers 0-5 and secondary 6-12

• under the tileset editor window, go to tools > palette editor

• under the palette editor window, go to tools > import palette

• next, make sure you're on the palette number you want to insert tiles into, and go into tools -> export Primary/Secondary tiles image (do NOT click the metatile option it's basically useless for this lol)

• once you have the png saved, open it up in an art program that has indexing (preferably graphicsgale)

• extend the canvas to 128x256

• Once you have that down, just paste the tiles you have in there (make sure you place down by 8x8 tiles, or else your tiles will be misaligned)

• once you have the file saved, import it back into porymap in the tileset editor (Make sure you're on the right palette number!) Tools -> import primary/secondary tiles image

now go to the next number if you have more tiles to insert, and repeat the same process!
