tiledefs, problems. I'm stuck.

[Laek2007]

My problem started when the tileset got updated with some tiles. First I didn't get the tileset to load. And now when I start the editor all I see is a messed up level. I just can't get it fixed.

Here's my offline tiledef.

It dosn't matter what script I try to use it still dosn't work.

the tiles work fine online. but not in my editor.
I could be that the picture could have been changed from 16 to 32 bits. but I doubt it.

If anyone could give me any kind of advice on this problem I'd be so greatful. I really need to get back to work. And without a functioning offline editor it's impossible.

If you've had any tiledef realated problem and got it fixed. Please. Share your story.

Why dont you:
1. Remove the offlinetiledefs file completely.
2. Readd the defenitions
3. Enjoy

Also, but I think you tried that, just an empty script with "removetiledefs" in it

Didn't work. But since every tileset works except the one I need to work on.. I'd think it's a problem with just tiledef, maybe it'll sort out with tiledef2.

too many colors for the offline editor?

[Pimmeh]

Wait, I just realized...
Did you edit the tileset yourself? I had that problem once and when someone else gave me one it worked

[Switch]

They took away the unused colors that were in it

offline editor can only handle 8-bit images.

Finally someone said that straight out. The tileset is in 16 bits.

But maybe I could change the tileset to .gif just offline to get it work in the editor? I've heard that .gif is 16bits. But I don't really know too much about this stuff. Or we'll just get it changed to 8 bits. We'll see.

well if you have a decent paint program you can set PNG's to 8, 16, 24, 32-bit. When I do this I make sure i put +32 at the end of the 32-bit file names. Online the client can read all forms I believe. I also believe the editor can not read files greater than 2.5 MB, I've many people put different file size but thats the one when my editor stops reading them.
