There's isn't currently any standard size for maps at this time, but a map including 1-2 towns sounds reasonable. You can use the "transition_teleport" action type to teleport the player between maps.

Currently Tuxemon is using a mix of custom-created assets, creative commons assets, and placeholder graphics. We are looking to create all custom-created content to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout the game. You may use other creative common assets in your contributions, as long as you include the attribution information so the original author can be properly credited.

You can attach images to these forums using any image hosting site such as imgur.

First, try downloading the latest release in the development branch so you have the latest copy of the game. In the latest release, all layers above layer 3 are drawn above the player.

For placeholder graphics, I've used Spriter's Resource.

You don't need to build an EXE if you're running it from source. If you're on Windows, use the following instructions to run the game from source: http://www.tuxemon.org/windows-install.html

ok so looking at the "Grass" i made (see first image i attached), why do i need to offset it down or is the player in the wrong position? Either way, i assume i need to split the grass in 2 so half the grass is in front of player and half is behind player?

Since the player sprite is slightly larger than the tile size, the lower part of the sprite will overlap the tile below it.

Shouldn't it overlap the tile above it?

After some discussion, I've modified the sprite size to 16 x 32. I have also changed the way the player's tile position is calculated so it will now use the location of the bottom half of the player sprite to determine the player's position. With these changes, your grass tile can now be positioned right with only one tile.

You can view the changes in the latest commit to the development branch:

So still a lot of stuff to sort out ( like some shading from the trees over my water) but i now have a general outline of my first level.. Should be useful to test game features once i am done

Still have a little more work to do on it and then i need to start work on the Collision detection, i expect to have this done by next weekend ( work doesn't allow me to do anything through the week). Commissioned art work made big difference ( just need to pay the guy), I think it looks very professional, i have future plans for this artist once funds allow

Also knowing which building is the medical center is pretty obvious, but for the shop i used the Blue building,is this the right choice?

I haven't had time to test it out yet, but I noticed that all of your collision areas are not set to type "collision". I also noticed that your collision areas are not set to whole numbers, which may or may not cause problems.

Check out step 7 and 8 from the following page:
https://git.tuxemon.org:3000/tuxemon/tu … sion-areas

the stable windows build , collision detection works, even if not whole numbers, the last developer branch, collisions dont work at all.

Cant remember, will check again tomorrow, maybe  i have the  wrong one.

I finished implementing rounding non-whole collision sizes/coordinates in the latest commit to the development branch. Collisions should now work with non-whole numbers, but I would still recommend setting whole numbers so you know exactly what regions will be collide-able:

In addition, I went ahead and included the current version of your map in the latest commit as well as the tilesets that you used. I've updated our credits file with attributions for your work that you've contributed so far. You can view the attributions here:
