World Map Tiles and Equipment icons.

[RPG Learner]

Are there any good icons tile sets for a map (legal ones) i'm currently wanting to do a first map.

RPG Advocate do you have any ideas for which tileset to use for a beginner map.

and for equipment icons i wonder where can you find those legaly.

Um I don't think there are such things as legal and illigal tilesets. Just the actual programs are legal and illegal.

Well even though RPG Maker XP has an official legal release just being careful here on the subject.

Here's a zip file of 541 categorized icons. Give credit to sixthcrusifix.

This happens to be the best rmxp worldmap available (in my opinion). I happen to use it myself but a lot of people don't use it because it takes a while to perfect the style. Thankfully there's a tutorial on the site that should help you learn how to piece it together.

Oh snap, that's beautiful. You could make a smaller version of the main character and use that and everything. A cloud overlay would look nice too.

Does that have support for floating islands of doom?

...I don't know. Give me about half an hour and I"ll see what I can come up with.

CONFIRMED: The tileset is capable of creating evil floating islands.

Super cool. Is airship support built in, or would that be a whole 'nother can of worms to code in?

There are scripts at www.rmxp.net that allow support for vehicles.

Hmm i wonder how to make the character smaller though? It would be some work though puling it off in a world map.

It would be easy; just resize the sprites down 1/2 or such, and have an autoplay event change them all.

What an awesome world map. The customization on these PC makers is amazing. I can't wait to start making some custom menus for my game!

Re: World Map Tiles and Equipment icons.

Open the characterset you plan on using and scale them down by about 50%. Next, whenever someone exits a map onto the worldmap, use the "set move route" command before you transfer the player, and click on change graphic. Select the small characterset. Be sure to change the graphic next time you enter a town or something.
