Hello ladies and gentlemen! Lights on! Here we go! A small tile set of beach related material: Sand, sea wood, and a shell to be used as a floor tile, in other wordz: A Beach Tilez set Zu's idea comes to mind, thank you for your ideaz, bro. This has mostly the walking zone tilez (where you can walk). It's a test to see how tilez work for me. So i hope you'll enjoy. Link: www.mediafire.com/file/5p9fyzqdn48mtz8/Beach%20Tilez%20+%20Extraz.rarAnother way: www.mediafire.com/?5p9fyzqdn48mtz8(Both are the same, don't worry about it ) Q:Is it possiable to extract gruntz sprites (with rez extractor by kijanik19) with a specific color pallete (blue yellow, etc.)? Thank you in advance and have a nice day. CaptainGoo!

Creating Ground tilez is (IMNSHO) the most difficult task there is for use in Gruntz! To create individual tilez that match up with tilez on all four sidez (and four diagonalz!) with the other seven tilez in the set, and all eight tilez in the set (tilez 17-32) that blendz tilez 1-8 with 9-16 takez much more artistic talent than I can ever hope to have. "High Rollerz" (in the Ground tilez) is the easiest graphicz set provided by Monolith. but the most difficult for Plateauz/Gulliez. "Gruntz In Space" is (IMHO) the best designed set of tilez, even though it was evidently rushed into production (many duplicate tilez, when a simple rotate would give more optionz), with so many Death tilez that connect in a visually pleasing manner with each other.
I give credit to anyone who can do that job ... I wouldn't even attempt it, myself. Good job!

And that's pretty much the reason I decided to go with Virtual Reality tileset, where we have a straightforward green net that basically makes all tilez perfectly matching each other with little work put into it. I believe that it would be possible to use the same method to create a tileset based on graph paper from exercise books, with everything like rockz, holez and so on being drawn with a pencil. This however requires a little bit more work (and a scanner) to make it look natural, so I never really attempted to make it. Especially that without a working WinRez or whatever that program is called, we can't really use it. (Does ANYONE knows ANYTHING about ANY kind of progress in creating similar program or purifying original one from virus? Because I KIND OF asked about it, but NO ONE bothered to answer... Sorry for being so harsh, but...).
While the first beach tile appears to be perfectly matching with itself on all sides, I can see seams in all others, so this may require additional work.

Tessellationz would be a great way to go about this, making it a piece of cake. I'm not a complete expert on it, but generating some kind of wavey/strange shaped clone piece (or a combination of), then merely shrinking it down and copying it around can have an amazing effect down to microlevel. Also by varying the tessellationz piecez slightly in some you can have different wavez through sand or the like. For anyone that's interested I had a minor spree in my graphic arts design class where I made tessellationz, among other thingz: vicsto.weebly.com/tessalations.html

Another thing: I forgot to give copyrightz Tilez shown in the folder are credited to epic megagames' jazz jackrabbit 2 and are converted to proper size and are edited for good measures at timez by captaingoo Tilez shown as extraz are: are created by captaingoo (Don't worry, I also make my own editz like the sand in the extraz and so forth) I wanted to make this message to draw out any misunderstanding and to avoid any thoughts of con artisticism and plagiarism. Please don't take this the wrong way, I hope you understand.
Thank you again and have a nice day.
