ISOTOPIA: Information for Artists
Among the ISOTOPIA features the most developed is the customizing section, so download ISOTOPIA, follow the instructions and share your art!
How to customize
- Browse inside the folder you unpacked. You will find the ISOTOPIA version directory (/isotopia_ubuntu20071029/)
- inside this directory you can find all graphical resources:
- tiles/
- sprites/
- user_interface/
- Modify them and you can edit your own isometric scene
- Push H in the Editor to have a detailed help about the editor usage
How to add a building
- You can create or modify all files with your favorite graphical editor and ISOTOPIA will "understand them".
- Keep in mind those rules:
- if the base of the building you want to create or add is NxM you have to create/edit the tilesNxM.bmp file inside the tiles/ folder
- the base of a tile is 32x16 and you can add tiles changing tiles.bmp and tilesNotWalkable.bmp
- sprites frames are cutted according to following schema:
- the background of all sprites and tiles have to be MAGENTA. This color is the only alpha color used.
We also started speaking about icons…
