Commander Keen 4 Tilesets
Copyright (C) 2004 LAbRaTkiD of OLC
Okay, first of all, I would like to thank Scizor CT the most for all his
inspiration, his perfectionist attitude that made this tileset much better
in the long run, him ripping the Keen 4 tiles for me (using TED5), and
making an example level that will be released in the second reupload of the
tilesets. Oh, yes, and Scizor fixed up the SGA a bit because he didn't
think it looked good enough. So now it looks better. Yay for that! =D
Second of all, FireSworD gets thanked, too, for some beta testing, making
an example level that will be released in the second reupload of the
tilesets, and inspiration.
ID Software also gets thanked for making the tilesets in the first place,
of course.
Violet CLM gets thanked for making a wonderful palette for the tilesets.
Radium also gets thanked for something that didn't really help me all that
much in the long run, but helped me out temporarilly.
Disguise gets thanked for helping me find out how big I can make the
tileset source images and get however many animations. On that topic, Bobby
aka DizZy gets helped as well for the same purpose, although, without
thinking, told me that I could make the tileset image 320x25600 pixels and
still get a decent amount of animations.
I'd like to point out that the reason that I had to upload these all as six
separate sets is because the tile limit for sets made with JJ2 1.23 is
rather small. The forest tileset is split up into three tilesets - one
includes palm trees, one includes pine trees, and the other modifies the
grey palette entries slightly so that they are tinted blue, as requested by
FireSworD so the coins would go along with the lifewater drops. On top of
those three, there is the cave tileset, the ice tileset, and the pyramid
tileset. The ice and pyramid tilesets have the added bonus of having the
SGA in them, or the Standard Galactic Alphabet. Write secret messages in
your levels with it... like hate messages to jerks at school and stuff. Oh,
and Xion, if you make a level with this, don't put any hate messages at
Derby in it ;-).
These tilesets took a total of 13 days to make (from February 16th, 2004 -
February 29th, 2004).
I used Paintshop Pro8 to make them.
Umm... *thinks* What else...
Well, I guess that's all I have to say.
Goodbye, mine friends! ;-D
Update #2...
Two example levels have been included, by FireSworD and Scizor CT. A third
update will *possibly* contain one by Snooz.
Update #3...
An example level by Snooz was uploaded online. You can see the link on the
upload's information on J2O, where you downloaded this file.
http://www.jazz2online.com, for the people who are feeling a bit forgettful
today. I spelled forgettful wrong, I think. But I'm going to keep it like
that. The third update includes a palette tile in the cave tileset, the
pyramid tileset, and the ice tileset. Thus, the snow, pole, and other
palette events should work okay with those tilesets now. No changes were
made to the other 3 tilesets.Thanks to Violet and Scizor for pointing this
out. Scizor pointed out that they didn't work, and Violet pointed out why.
I'd like you all to know, by the way, that I went to Lowe's today. Lowe's
is a big warehouse with lots of stuff to buy! I went there today, and
looked at the toilets, while my mom was looking for something (I don't know
what she was looking for), and they had this really cool toilet that looked
like a space toilet! It was like the toilet of the future. I really wanted
it, but it was a lot of money. There was also this other toilet with lots
of buttons on it and it had a jagged shaped toilet seat. There was a guy
with a beard at Lowe's, too. NOW, BYE.
