Sup everybody,

as you might know from my last post, I'm currently working on a levelset.To get some inspiration, I looked at some built-in levelpacks and came across totally diffrent Tilegroups than those in the Editor.

Is there any way to get these Tilegroups into my levelset? I would realy like to make some scret paths and caves but with the sprites in the Standard Tilegroups, I'm not able to do what I want to do.

Thanks again for all your replies! And as always: If this has been asked before, I'm sry.

Now, are you talking about tilesets or tilegroups. Tilesets are different sets each containing tiles, while tilegroups are more or less subcategories of tilesets (for the current levels: some misc stuff, Ice stuff, Forest stuff, and so on).

Some levelsets use different tilesets for their own purposes. However there is no interest in making an official guide on how to do this (we have more important things to focus on: like, stuff for the next few releases), so you'll have to figure out how to create tilesets by looking at the existing ones. The old wiki might be a helpful resources.

I think pictures can make my point a bit clearer.

These are the Tilegroups available to me when I am creating my own levels:



And these are the Tilegroups available to me when I edit World 1:



As you can see they are diffrent. So my question is, how do I get the Tiles from the World 1 Tilegroups into my own worlds?

I found 2 files, each containing one set of Levelgroups. Trying to merge them ends up in a lot of duplicate Tiles. I could just rename the file containing the World 1 Tilegroups so they would show up in the editor whilst building my own levels. But then I would have to rebuild my whole Worldmap.

Is there any way to merge the 2 files without just overwriting half of them?

And besides that, why are different Tilegroups used anyway?

Nver Mind, figuered it out myself. You just have to change the tileset in the worldmap file of your level.

Can you explain how to do it?
