Am I missing something here

oops, I meant responded and told us what was going on, even if you see it as an excuse.

But we paused the map, since Alpho and I had a talk about a way to make layers work. If that works, or does not work, the progress on the map will continue. Yet if layers work we have to start the Map from scratch, and therefore it has been paused.

Do we really need layers? I'm not a level expert, but are they really necessary?
Because if they are not then why bother? if it involves starting again then there is no point.

its always nice to have the ability to use transparent tiles, especially on a futuristic themed game  

Wait isn't that possible anyway(like delteria's dungeon with spike drop or that just scripted?) Also why would the full map etc need to be redone from scratch.it wouldn't? maybe certain levels but not all? Neverless I wouldn't mind if it didn't have layers..lauers would make more work and possibly more problems when combined with player lagging on levels etc.  

Layers are time savers tbh, for graphic designers and level artists.

not really though.

yes they are  

If layers are what you say they are, surely they'd think about that before making the tileset...

I just hope we don't have to wait another long period due to restarting the tileset

It's not restarting the tileset, it's restarting the levelling, maybe with some tweaks here and there to the tileset (which probably would have happened anyway)

trust me, levels look MUCH better with layers

that is, if they're used correctly  

yet to see levels with layers that don't cause problems.  

i dont see why they would make a layered tileset

according to chelt, layers arnt working on the facebook client, neither are particles

so either the client got some buffs, or its a normal tileset

Alpho found a way around the layers issues on Facebook.

And about all the others, layers is a huge time saver and makes things look a lot better.  

So Chelt where we at on the tileset. Speaking on behalf of Zone players, I'm pretty sure we want to see the progress on the tileset. Unless there's no real progress that's why you haven't showed us anything lol.

You should just trust him and wait.
You seriously would have no idea if some bigger issue or implication popped up regarding the tileset.

Also atm just enjoy the halloween one

I think that's the point he came up months and months ago with the Hey guys here's tileset how far we are on it(covered in blue-not even a few tiles showing[basically no evidence]) Expects you to believe- Give benefit of the doubt *gives months and months longer for an update on piece* he comes back with oh been on vaca -no update... Eventually gets riled up with players getting fed up of nothing happening no update(evidence of anything) then pops up after another couple of months-rather than saying what's happening goes on about players wanting stuff-claims it's still happening[doesn't say anything about layer issue or anything] then eventually makes remark about it and claims they would need to redo from scratch ALL stuff if works cough bs. And throws of the I'm away for month but see you in year 3000 not much has changed but we live under water.

Now it's all out in open players should be updated with problem arising rather than being left in lerch. classic have done this strategy(any hope for progress)for years to keep players longer than they usually would and it works very well except it doesn't play well in the long run for community.


But yeah.
no images,no tiles shown.no sneakpeaks.. For something that everyone is going to see anyway if actually going to even use seems fishy as fk whether there is one even made, wouldn't suprise me if you get the unixmad doesn't want it to be change now excuse if not that chelt will vanish.hi delteria. what's zone.
