Slope Designs

Post by Mobiethian »

Hey folks! Could someone kindly direct me to a resource for tileset making or some templates? I am having quite a bit of trouble with slopes for a complex design and I have some feelings as if they're not being done correctly no matter what I do. Thank you very much! :)

Try using a Keen 6 (the blue and teal cement/metal buildings) tileset as a base for your tileset. It's relatively easy to learn.

That sounds perfect, Roobar. Thank you for the cool suggestion! I also have Szemi helping out with this. The design that I am making for the slopes is made very complex, which some know how I am with extra-detailed tilesets.

This tileset is for SodiumtheGlitcher's mod. Which I happen to have taken a great interest in it. ;)

Yeah, that's it. And figuring in a complex design (a little bit advanced in design) to make slopes is really difficult. I shall not give up, though.

Not gonna lie, my complete failure to wrap my head around designing slopes in the K:G style was a big contributor to XkyKeen4 never happening. :) Good luck!

Thank you! On a totally awesome note, I have finally figured it out with the help of szemi. It's all looking so good right now! :) The design is very detailed, in fact.

If you're curious, this is the "template" tileset originally used for slopes and other platforms:

Yeah! That's what I could use now, actually. Coolness! :) Thanks a lot for that, Multimania! Great job with it!
