Need Help on an idea...

I've been thinking of making a brand new Single Player episode called "Birth of a Hero" beginning like at the beginning of Jazz 1 (Yes, thats right) Which may mean that I might make Spaz player's pretty dern angry.

Anyway, I just need help on at least tile-set design. I have a bunch of idea's that I cant get. (Like comic book tile-sets, and a city level.)

Unless someone can show me how to make tile sets with something like Paint Shop Pro or something I'm gonna need help. I can draw the stuff if you want, I just need to figure out how to compile them into Jazz.

If I could do music, I'd like to do that too, but baby steps children =P

Some Jcs.Ref tutorials:

http://www.jazz2online.com/~jcsref/n...=index&mode=id - masking in general
http://www.jazz2online.com/~jcsref/n...=index&mode=id - compiling a tileset
http://www.jazz2online.com/~jcsref/n...=index&mode=id - converting 16 bit images to 8 bit

Keep in mind this site is not finished yet, so.. don't be too flabbergasted by all the unfinished stuff and the lack of articles ;p

J2o has some tutorials in www.jazz2online.com/articles/

Due to not enough information, I can't help you right now, but if you'll leave a message in more detail describing what you've done and what you can't do, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. *Moo*

Jazz only? *is angry*
Hm...I have a tonne of ideas. I sorta know how to compile them, except for the whole palette thing. But I can't draw. ;P

I've always wanted to make a single player ep. Got a crazy idea cooked up in mah head..;P

Uhh...where's the tileset templates? I might need them.

Btw, as for the mask, 0 and 1 stand for black and/or white right? So any other color will be a black mask thing.

Colors 0 and 1 are transparent, anything else is solid.

All you need to do is set up a 320x(32*x) image using 8-bit mode. You can use the program's grid functions to have a 32x32 grid.

WB, Bartman. Great to see you again, you made some niftular episodes in the old days. Good luck on the new one, I know it will be good.
