Download all autotiles from the download manager

this autotile will allow you to make your cave maps more easier and more faster making a 30 minutes job to 10 :D
I'm not kidding this autotile will make you drow the cave map lines faster and will save you alot of clicking .

this is how you use it:
in the datebase make the passege as the square thing and the priority 5

use it in the second layer

then in the first layer you start to complet the cave by starting with the wall by types front part

right part
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... soul/3.png[/IMG]
then left part
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... soul/4.png[/IMG]
now fill the empty space in he first layer with the ground

now just add anything you want to make it look nice

if you want to add someting above the autotile in the third layer like this
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... soul/7.png[/IMG]

it will not show because the priority of the autotile is 5
then we'll have to change the autotile you used in the place by one from the one from the tileset
to change it in the same layer with out effacing the look of the autotile you made you'll have hold shift then click

do the same thing if you want to edit it .

I've seen these before somewhere. They are awesome, I use them religiously. It makes making these dungeons easier and quicker.

I always thought of making these, just because it would've been a simple copy/paste job... But I never got the time. Thanks!

as you can see these are level 1 auto tiles were as AJ's are level 2 auto tiles. I have more like the earth cave but I've not done with the edits as of yet.

I liked the Idae but the thing is it won't work right :-/ look

this is how it's looks if we used the tileset only
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... soul/9.png[/IMG]
this is how it's looks if we used the autotile I made
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... oul/10.png[/IMG]
and this is how it's looks if we used your autotile in first layer or the second
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... oul/11.png[/IMG]
the thing is this part http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... oul/12.png[/IMG] the back part is always used in the second layer

before I this autotile I've used move around layer like a jackass trying to make my map looks good
then I made this and I was really happy it was so semple then I had your idea but I saw the back part (ground) it's either the player on top or the autotile ':| I'm sure that we all want the player right ;)

anyway thanks :D
 
That's really useful. I was getting so frustrated by making caves that I used layered images, lol. It turned out looking very much the same as what you have there, but holy crap is your way easier. Why didn't I ever think of autotiles? @_@

Nice work is what I'm trying to say ;').
