Hehe Data...I totally wish that website actually existed, and was a page, explaining the wonders of googling things, and then had a "click here to continue to google" linky. If I had money to spare on a domain I'd do it myself

well that's strange...it used to have all this information about why you should use google and why you are a moron for not using it . I remember it being used around here quite a bit a while ago.

Good job being useful guys, maybe try to keep those kinds of comments to yourself- would probably earn you a wee bit more respect.

Why not do the artwork yourself? Here are a couple good tutorials...

Sorry, I wasn't trying to start an argument or anything but I just wanted to make a point. I mean is it unreasonable to expect a user to actually google something before asking about it? And perhaps this user would earn a "wee bit more respect" if he actually did this. I admit I chose to make this point in a somewhat "humorous" (for lack of a better word) way simply because I think that users listen to what you have to say better this way. If I had just said "try using Google" do you really think the user would listen? And if he doesn't listen was any problem solved? Saying it in a more humorous and perhaps harsher way provokes the user to actually use google and ensures they will likely use Google first for future problems.

i agree with people should use a search engine before asking on a forum. but then again a forum is for helping people.so need to get angry.

@PresFox: maybe if there is a free modeler out there you like you can create your own isometric art(if its capable of orthographic projections) or maybe manually in a 2d graphics program.

The world creator link I just posted turns your textures to isometric walls and floors 'n' stuff.

At the time I did Dungeon Odyssey the developer Malfador Machinations was looking to use my 2D 32x32 tiles. I was at that time making an isometric version of the terrain tiles. He liked the look and we went with a combination of the Iso terrain and the 2D monsters/players. Given the number of monster/player tiles I made, it would not have been possible for me to create animated versions of each player/monster sprites.

That said, there is a 2D game out there called Lost Labyrinth

http://laby.toybox.de/index.php?sprache=1

it uses a simple technique if having the player/monster sprites 'jump' when they attack. I find this to be a very effective technique to display the illusion of animation.

Anyways, it's worth looking at laby to get the idea. I am not now, or anytime soon planning on creating animated RPG tiles.

Feel free to modify or edit my tiles as you see fit.

Cheers!

Data,

How do you know he didn't google it? He did ask for a good site. And google doesn't churn out useful information 100% of the time.

Really sometimes you just have to ask. Thats what part of being in a community is about. Whats the point of every single member making thier own version of the wheel?

Its no wonder this community is 3 years behind every other community out there.

Hey look Ralen,

This thread is a week old, I thought this was done and settled, I explained what I meant already if you had read the entire thread you'd know that. Also, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that he didn't google it.

But perhaps you should consider your actions especially if no one has posted in this thread for a week.
