Thanks, i managed to load a tileset but its come out all chopped and mixed with other models; picking someting like a tile also selects a bit of the closest one.
Those tutorials are totally unsufficient... one teaches you to make something useless, sure, it has the basic of layers and objects but only creates some map that is almost unrelated to current Flare (Retro gaming?) I would like it to explain how to load the current existant tilesets into Tiled and create a real map, and maybe how to add your own/new models as well.
The second one just enumerates a whole lot of parameters, that makes no sense to me yet.
I wont be touching C++ for the time being, i will work around what i already have; but i can see why there are so little mods around, the initial learning curve is huge, with little to no documentation, and a need to know about a few computer disciplines. Hell, i cant even load an existant map in Tiled to get a look of how it looks and works internally.
I played your Undead mod and quite liked it, the skills are cool and writing is great, will you continue it? you should at the very least share the models you created for it. Only a "but" the lich "Summon revenant" didnt work, it fired and locked the skill but no creature appeared.
showing the tileset in action / gameplay of the new mod including these tiles?
Yes, that one would be nice; and i guess the first one as well in the future, since your mod might become the new standart of Flare so people can build upon.
Well, i think making 3D models is the least needed tutorial, since blender tutorials are something you can find easily around. About modifying them, i guess that could make for a nice tutorial, its actually very easy, since the models are made in a very lazy way (but overly clever and fast).
Havent you guys considered about creating a real guide of "How to´s" for the game? the one in the wiki is hard to understand. Starting from the easiest and going to the most complex; maybe it just needs to present the current tutorials into a simplier way, or going from creating a character to making a simple campaign.
I feel Flare just needs a flashing campaign to be more popular; and overall be more accesible so more people try to do their own.
That would also be appreciated, this game lacks practical tutorials really bad; i had a hard time trying to understand spreedsheet making and still have many doubts. Its not accesible to newbies at all.
Rubberduck that is simply gorgeous!! i love what you are doing, doesnt feel like its even the same game; any chance of you uploading a video of the tileset on use?

Trying to load any map give me a path error.
Nice travel~

Thanks m7600; by following the tutorial about tiled on the wiki i learned i can change my starting map by using the spawn map.
I wont touch the engine, C++ is a scary beast; where is that Dorkster tutorial? i cant find it in the forum.
Im going to poke at your mod, i also need to understand how to load the tiles definitons and such on tiled, the wiki tutorial is way too basic.
After reading m7600 post i searched around a bit and found this facebook community recomended:

first impression is pretty good, and the suscribers are in the 100k.

Im really curious to se it all in action.
Congrats man, its a pretty nice work, will you release a video of it now?

Im not related to the dev team, but it would be nice for the project to get some traction. Thanks for your help, whatever month is good.
