Description
Tired of having to replace the original tiles with yours or not knowing where to put your tiles? Well here's an easy solution! Redone!· Each square is a tile.
· Blue tiles are for water.
· Grayish blue tiles are for deeper water.
· Dark blue tiles are animated; each animation covers one column (4 squares; 4 frames)
· Green and gray tiles are for floor textures, woods, mountains or lakes. Make sure that you use them in 3x4 arrays! They can also have the Square passability mark, which can't be used in the rest.
· Greenish yellow tiles can be used for everything. They will appear as is: they don't make groups or animate. Each square is completely individual but you can still combine them to create something bigger.
· Black tiles are left for transparency (it's the first color 2k3 gets as transparent so you won't even have to select it).
· Finally, yellow tiles are for the Upper Layer. They not only can be used for whatever you want but also appear OVER other tile from the Lower Layer. And you can create events with these tiles! So you can put a tile over a tile OVER A TILE! (You will eventually need it, trust me.)
Tell me if you think I should change anything!
And... needless to say, feel free to use!
PS: I don't know if this works for other versions, sorry.

I used to tinker around with RPG Maker a few years ago. Now that I'm trying to get back into it, it's good that I have a template to start with. Thanks a bunch!

sry sir do you have a video tutorial to show me how it works like importing some image to become tileset ?

Somewhere in the upper bar, next to the Music icon, there's a colorful icon named "Import and export resources". Click there, and select the "CharSet" folder, then click Import, look for the file you want to import, click, and make sure the selected color (the one that blinks) is the color you want to set as transparent.
Also make sure the image has a proper size (the same as this template) and is indexed with 256 colors or less.

Can I modify this to make the template hold more static tiles, animated tiles, and 2nd layer tiles?

Well, I think you'd need some sort of script if you want RPG Maker 2003 to allow that. It's very strict with asset specifications.

I'm just getting started with my first game and I'm already having issues. ;;
I tried to edit your tileset template and make my own tiles, then i indexed the colors and saved in png format. Still, when i load the tileset in rpg maker 2003 all the tileset appears as black. What should i do? Did i miss something important? ;;

Did you import it from RPG Maker's menu or did you simply move the file to your ChipSet folder?

I imported it from the menu, but nevermind, i think i solved it! somehow after a while it started showing the tiles normally. c: thank you anyway!

If you're still having problems, I've got some info to share. PNG files can't be used in RPG makers, you need to save it in a BMP for it to work. Programs such as MSPaint can do it quite easily, but I should warn you that even though it works perfectly, trying to edit BMPs discolours them.

Oh, I guess you're welcome then? Hehe.

(sorry I'm really new at this) with the green and gray tiles I noticed some of them you can walk on, some you can walk through (semi transparent?), and some not at all. I was wondering how I should be able to tell which tiles do what?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Database-->Terrain, then click Passability.
O tiles are passable (Below Hero), X tiles are not passable (Same Layer as Hero), and * tiles are passable but the hero will be always under them (Above Hero). The green and gray tiles have a fourth "Square" option. It's useful for "frame tiles", as I like to call them - tiles that go around the map, as if it was some sort of ceiling texture. It acts as either * or X depending on where you are. Play around with those tiles and you'll see what I mean.

I couldn't get the green and gray to work as floor tiles (Probably my own fault, I'm new at this.)
I ended up using the greenish-yellow. which worked as floor by default.
Thanks!

That's because the 3x4 green or gray sets work all together. Your best best is to use some default tilesets and see how the special tiles work.

No problem, and thanks for the fave! ^^

Hi there! Um, can I get some assistance? I tried to make a floating-glass-pane floor type thing, but I can't seem to get the logic behind how it compiles it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The thing is, one of the tileset's colors has to be the transparency color. It's like some sort of of Chroma Key wall - everything that is painted a certain color will be rendered as transparent. That color in my tileset template is pure black, but you can change it.
So you can make a new black tile and draw the glass pane over it, but don't try to make semi-transparent colors because RPG Maker can't process those and the tile will look weird in-game. So, either make the glass completely transparent (or in this case, black, as it's set as transparent color), completely opaque, or completely transparent but with lines of a certain light color, like I do. This creates the illusion of glass in a very cheap way.
(There's a way to make semi-transparent stuff, but the whole thing will look semi-transparent. To do it, make it an Upper Layer tile and put it on the map as an EVENT, not as a normal tile. Now check the Transparent flag on the event and voilà!)
I hope this wasn't too confusing.

I understood all that and that wasn't the problem. I have, however, figured it out on my own. It doesn't sample the entire tile, but a portion of each sample for some reason. Very strange.

Are you using the blue tiles?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not what would be water, but what would be grass, sand, mountains, dirt, trees, snow and other things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Those things act weirdly too. Maybe you should just use the greenish yellow ones if it's just one standalone tile.

I worked it out. It's a footpath.
