I hadn't much time in the past to work on it, so if anybody like to use and improve it, he or she is very welcome. The program takes a whole bunch of single tile images and a tileset description file *.tileset and transforms them into a tileset.bmp and a tileset.tsrc. A final call of mktileset will generate the ready-to-use tileset for crimson. It is able to combine multiple images into one tile so that each image has to be drawn only once. A road could be combined in one case with grassland and in another with a bridge immage over a river image. No need to draw every detail again and again. The tool uses ImageMagick for all the graphic stuff and is able to generate tilesets of any size from the same sources, even if crimson only understands a tilesize of 32x32 yet. I attached the sourcecode including a small example. I have a lot more tiles for rails, terrain, mountains, etc but I would send these images only on request to the list, because of file size. The attached file is already big enough, so ... If someone is interested in other images, please ask. Beside png I also have them in multilayer gimp xcf images. Best Regards Matthias
