Multiple Tilesets - wackydude1234 - 23-10-2007
I was wondering if there was a way to have multiple tilesets in mirage?
Re: Multiple Tilesets - Robin - 23-10-2007
Of course there is.
Program it.
The way I have it in Winds Whisper is where I have each map linked to one tileset, and the client only ever holds the one tileset needed for that map.
Simply add a new byte to the map data (at the end) and then re-set the tileset surface with the desired tileset when the user changes maps.

Isn't that how RPG Maker 2k and down had it?
Where Map = Tileset

Yeah.
It's good memory management though.
Winds Whisper uses up a hell of a lot less memory than other games because it only loads 1.4mb of graphics for a map, and rather than load all 44 of them into memory like I would do if I used Elysium, I load just 1, and when the user changes maps I re-set the TileSurf surface and load the desired set.

Re: Multiple Tilesets - Rezeyu - 24-10-2007
Your college still has Vb6 classes?
o.O
All the colleges here only have newest tech, so they all have .NET.
(And at my school taking C++ is a pre-req for VB.NET, WTF?)

I studied .NET at college but made all of my projects in vb6, they couldn't tell the difference when it was compiled anyway :wink:
