Magi's Tileswaps

I made this for my brother, and I guess some other people would be interested in it, so here it is! It should work perfectly with v1.1.1 and v1.2.



Have fun, and keep an eye out for future tilewaps by me!

I'm going to try these out. This should be hilarious.

That is just awesome.

The sheet looks up-to-date to me. I don't recall any changes to it for 1.2.

Okay, thanks for that confirmation!

I had no clue what some of the monsters are so I made my best guesses as to what their Pokemon versions were.

One of these days when I get some time, I'll put together a little list of what the tiles correspond to, for aspiring tile-swappers.

I actually really dig some of the tiles, beyond the pokemon themselves; the gems, in particular, look really good.

I just updated the tileset a slight bit, the walls were looking odd since the very top of them was part of the floor. I changed that, so now the map doesn't look as confusing.

I've done a small edit to the default tileset for any female players.

The Witch Tileset




(And yes, I based the design off DeeMer's avatar and her 16x16 tileset's Witch)

I do have to ask: what is the shotgun tile for?

I've been wondering that aswell.. It's so random.

Absolutely nothing. Nothing to see here. Move along.

No, really, could you at least drop a hint?

Heh. Well, it never actually appears in the game, as far as I can remember. Then again, neither does the tile to its immediate left, for the same reasons.

As for what it represents, well, it's part of an easter egg I added for a pre-beta tester that I should probably remove, one of these days.

Or you could put it back. It might be interesting.

I guess I'll drop this here, for lack of a better spot.

Oh, it's still there. I haven't removed anything.

Neat, but I must inform you that despite the whole witch avatar and everything, I'm not a woman.
I never meant to deceive, I just like witches.

EDIT:
I guess I could also link to my tileset while we're here.
Sorry, I realized this is for your tilesets. So I'll stick this somewhere else.

Whoops! Sorry, I'm known to get mixed up like that. I should always remind myself to check people's profiles before guessing someone's gender.

I love your tileset by the way, I agree that 32x32 is pretty big but I'm used to it- I'm a game programmer and the platform I use for my coding only natively supports 32x32 tiles, with work-arounds needed to do anything smaller.

I may get to work on another tileset later today. I'm not sure what the theme would be, but I feel like making one based off an 8-bit game.

Do you mean an 8-bit style, or do you mean to import graphics from 8-bit games?

Probably a mix of both, I'm planning on using your 16x16 tileset as a template(Since I'm terrible with figuring out where the tiles are placed without a template), adding the new and imported graphics, then doubling the size to the pixels extra-large, similar to the old NES games' display resolution on a TV.

I'm primarily using Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda tiles, along with a mix of personal edits and custom work. I'll give you guys a preview in a bit, once I create the Sheet Tile for it.

I'm having trouble with the Dragons. I can't custom them very well and there's no 16x16 sprites of them.

Might be a bit until I get the preview.

A few of the tiles are edited from DeeMer's set, but it's not that obvious for most of them. Hope you don't mind!

Ah. Any hint on how to get it?

That's alright, assuming you're talking about the ones that I actually did redraw, and not the ones that are still victims of The Image Compression of Default Tiles.

I don't know what your overall plan is here, but I suggest that you actually have different graphics for each of the dragons and not just a simple re-color. There should be plenty of 16x16 Dragons in all of NES/Famicom history for you to use.

Which tile ripper are you employing, or do you just grab them from screen shorts or from around the internet?


Fake EDIT:
Oh I just noticed your earlier lament of lack of dragons. I'm sure I can find three or four properly sized Dragons for you. It'll take some time.

Real Edit:
Alright, here's a few I found using YY-Chr. These are only the graphics, without the correct pallet. I've labeled them the best I could.







I checked some of the Dragon Quest games, but the graphics weren't stored in a manner I could easily read. I also looked at the Fire Emblem games, but could only find Dragon Rider sprites small enough.

There are a LOT of NES games, and many of them have very neat monster or item sprites you could use also. If you happen to need any more help, just ask.

Thanks! These will be really useful. I wish make sure to mention it if I have any more tiles I can't find.

Sorry, got caught up with work lately. I run an online game, and it's been having some big changes in its management structure lately that I've had to deal with. Combine that with the hectic life and school I've been having lately and I've had little time to work on the current sheet. I'll make sure to get another bunch of tiles done soon, though.
