Folks,

I found an interesting tileset creation program, "Reiner's Tileset Maker":

What this program is handy for is this:

Say you have a LOT of preformated/preprocessed tile images that you wish to create a tileset from (a bunch of 32x32x24-bit BMP format images).

Normally you would have to open your tileset image (e.g. "Blank_Tileset_Max_Size.bmp") in a paint program (such as Paint Shop Pro), open ALL of your seperate tile images in the paint program, and then copy/paste/copy/paste/copy/paste/copy/paste/copy/paste/copy/paste/etc...

...a TOTAL PITA LOL!

With Reiner's Tileset Maker, you simply create a new fixed sized tileset (e.g. 512x512), open the folder that contains all of the seperate tile images, click the "Add all to tileset" button, and...

WHAMMO!

A new tileset is automatically created with ALL of your seperate tile images pasted into their proper locations in the final tileset image

BTW, an inportant note:

The final saved tileset image that Reiner's Tileset Maker creates is in 32-bit "BMP" format (CS2D does NOT recognize 32-bit images)... you'll need to load this final tileset image one last time into your paint program, and then save it as a 24-bit "BMP" format image.

Anyhow, I thought maybe someone here might find this thing useful

That's a pretty handy looking utility, but the usefulness of 'Reiner's Tileset Maker' is the ablility to *automatically* create a tileset from a bunch of *separate* BMP format image tiles.

Something that is normally a real PITA (having to copy/paste/copy/paste/copy/paste/etc... each and every separate image into your tileset).
