question regarding tilesets

[maxipower]

1. Which if any numbered aera tilesets are unused?

2. What is the general collective thought regarding using other peoples tilesets, whilst of course crediting the orignial makers. I dont have the paitence nor the talent to make any. Id assume its fair use? Seeing that none of asked nintendo?

Some of the tilesets have versions with a different palette that was never used (eg, 2 is red crateria, there's also black brinstar etc.)

If you want custom tilesets, I would recommend first applying this patch to make sure you don't overwrite things. For the actual custom tiles, you can grab any of the publicly released ones here (The patches labelled GFX are the ones you want) and of course yes, you should give credit to the author.

It's worth noting (if I recall correctly) that with DSO's patch, you'll need to export then import any tilesets you wish to use, as it overwrites them all with multiple copies of one tileset.

I could be wrong, but I believe one of his patches does that, but the other doesn't. I think I used it before and never had that issue. Also, I felt I didn't need to mention it as he was planning to use custom tilesets so he'd need to import them anyway :^_^:

From the .txt, it looks like the one you linked should do the trick.  The repoint patch does just that, and the expansion patch repoints, but duplicates the tileset.  It's a little confusing, as they're both labelled as 'repoint' on the patch page. :^_^:

Off topic here: just to be correct, the black Brinstar tiles are not used, but the tileset they are located in is used in the hall before the statues to Tourian.

Thanks, not off topic, this is very useful to know, basically then i i just don't use that room i can have a full new tileset. Not that i may need any extra, just looking to know in advance. Thanks to all that posted. Yous really are a helpful bunch. :)

You can still use that room.  It'll just have its tiles replaced with whatever you swap them for, but since you're likely rebuilding the rooms anyway, it shouldn't matter. :^_^:
