|
The map editor allows you to create your game's world using "tiles". RPG Maker VX features an enhanced map editor from the previous versions. Creating maps are carried out as easily as clicking on the tile that is located on the left
of the editor, and placing it on the map. It is basically like drawing a picture with a graphic program (tiles are analogous to colors in this sense).
The time of making maps is reduced by the strengthened auto tile function
The number of tiles with the "auto tile" function to adjust the
borderline of a different tile automatically have increased greatly.
An auto tile can work not only for the coastline but also the
wall and the roof, etc. in the building, and therefore the time that is needed to create maps can be saved
significantly.
Moreover, shadows come automatically to a specific tile,
allowing the map to look more realistic than ever!

|
Such buildings can be easily built only by putting the tile of the roof and the wall.
|
|
Faster work is possible by function adjustment
A tile set is divided into five sets: The A set contains the
geographical features that becomes the base (land, etc) and B, C, D and E is able to be put
repeatedly, without worrying about the layer.
Moreover, the settings of a tile can be immediately changed just by clicking on the tile palatte.
