ummm i import a tileset (.bmp) into SSME but it shows up crooked

the tiles are SHOWN 2 pixels to the right of where they should be so it looks like it's overlapping the other tiles

It is possible that the source you try to import is flawed.
If I am not mistaken (either it was just a suggestion or it was implemented) continuum supports more than the # ammount of original tiles in the VIE client, so SSME might experience malefunctions with imported tilesets made for continuum with these extra few tiles.

As far as I know (and being a sysop, I would have noticed) continuum supports no additional tiles.

Your original tileset is probably malformed.

it works perfectly fine under CLE though

note: i edited the tileset using photoshop after converting from FACTS

Make sure it is still in 8 bit format otherwise it will mess up... i changed a tileset to 16bit i think it was and it was all messed up when i imported it.

i think its more of a bug in SSME than the tileset itself; yea my tileset is index color (256)

the tiles will looked crooked because if u had some in 1 place in the tileset and u put a different 1 there.. but if u keep it 256 they should not jump slots to the right/left/etc

We covered this in another thread. The tileset doesnt need to just be 8-bit. It needs to have all 256 colors in the palette. SSME does not load images using the BMP file format. It assumes things are at very specific offsets. I have no idea why ljc would have designed it this way.

there is a way to fix this off align thing in SSME for the tileset

first use SSME tileset maker

open up the tileset

then save as a different name.lvl

the tileset is now correctly displayed
