Needed - tileset with a black floor.
« on: September 02, 2013, 04:02:54 am »


               This one should be very easy - it probably already exists.  I need a tileset with an invisible (black) floor.  It doesn't need to have anything else in it.  I have a number of large overhead map placeables that the PCs can view via placeable drops in a "map" area.  I use cutscene invisibility so they can pan/zoom the map, but the maps look silly on a real floor.  So, anything out there with a black floor?

               <taking...>

If your maps are larger than 10m square, just make a 3x3 area with one walkable tile in the center. surrounded by pit. The placeable will hide the floor.
I'm pretty sure DoD used this method.

Edit: ok. *read* your post :-P make a simple black plane placeable the size of the area. Drop that above the floor and below where the maps land...

<...a minimalist approach>

               @3RavensMore have you looked at map mats for this?

               I created a single tile black floor tileset. The source files also include a version of the floor tile with the Alpha set to 0 - making it appear transparent (more like invisible).

If this not what you needed, please let me know and I'll adjust it.

               Pstemarie, that's exactly what I had in mind.  Thanks!  '<img'>

TR: Map Maps gave me the inspiration on day you first released it.  '<img'>  Now we've been using something similar for a while.  I'm the kind of person that when I see something, if I think I can figure out how they did it, I'll do it myself (withing peeking at their code.)  Inch by inch, it's how I improve my skills.
