Um, where can we get Tile Edit? --Savok 12:26, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
- It comes prepackaged with Tweak. —Rick 13:36, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
- Ah. There should be a note to that effect somewhere to prevent confusion; if it confused me, it will probably confuse others. --Savok 17:31, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
- The first line of the page clearly mentions that it is for Tweak? —Rick 19:28, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
- Of course it is for Tweak; that is, I believe, obvious to anyone intelligent enough to play DF.
- But nowhere did I find (though it might very well exist - I'm known to make really stupid errors like that) something that says that it is with Tweak.
- Also, the logic that "someone who can't find it will just find it when they open Tweak" doesn't work, in case any of you are thinking that, since some of us won't look in Tweak till they know they have something to use in it (i.e. Tile Edit). --Savok 23:01, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
- I see your point. —Rick 23:56, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
This may be mere stupidity on my part, but is it possible using Tile Edit to change, for example, a tile into a gem wall or ore wall of specific type?
- At this point, not really. When more of the flags are mapped/figured out, I imagine it would be possible to bridge that gap. IIRC, an older tool that's not been updated in ages (and no longer even listed on the Utils page) used to be able to copy the contents of one tile and place them in a new one, to include composition of the tile (stone, gem, soil, etc.) Perhaps even if the current build of TileEdit could never support that function, perhaps Rick would see to it to eventually incorporate that kind of function in the future? --Edward 06:34, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
