OpenRA TilesetBuilder – Making custom terrain slightly less disgusting to work with

Tuesday 18 May 2010 - Filed under Uncategorized

I’ve been slowly figuring out the Dune 2000 file formats and writing converters for its assets to sane formats, with the end goal of being able to play d2k as a mod in OpenRA. One of the things involved is making a new tileset from the original .r8/.r16 terrains. This sucks so much that I wrote a tool, which allows you to drag out tile outlines, and set terraintypes. It then spits out all the files required for OpenRA to use it as a tileset, or almost so. In practice, you still need a few manual tweaks.

If custom terrain in OpenRA is interesting to you, grab the tool. It’s in the git repo @ http://github.com/chrisforbes/OpenRA
