Hello!
 
Hello!
 
Could please anyone tell me how to change a tile in a tileset? I'm using Terminus 11x11 but I don't like grumpy dwarves there and want to make them smiling again. However when I try to change a single pixel in MS Paint all the game's graphics become messed up! What I'm not doing right?

:Try another image editor. Gimp, Krita, Photoshop. Most likely MSpaint saves the picture in a way that fucks it up (I don't really know what exactly it does wrong without more information than "graphics become messed up"). If the tileset you want to edit is a png, save it with transparency (in Photoshop: use the "File->save for web and devices" dialogue). If it's a bmp, the background needs to be Magenta. More detailed information will be in any tutorial on the Internet. [[User:CLA|CLA]] ([[User talk:CLA|talk]]) 18:10, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
