Hello guys, i had a question about the tiles u can use in making maps..
my question is, can i mix the tiles up in say, a jungle terrain, so that i can use some space tiles in it?
i have starorge, and extra, can these editors do that? or what program can do this, if there is one?

No you cannot mix them.

You can however, use sprites from different tile sets.

ADDITION:
Check the Starforge Section. There have been many topics on this.

There is a program that my friend is currently working on that you can use different tileset's in the same map, But I don't think it will work, I keep telling him it's not going to work, I told him that starcraft doesn't support the same tileset's in the same map, But maybe he will find soem way around it... Yes and said as above you can use differen't sprites in the same map. -That starcraft does support.

The closest thing you'll get to Jungle and Space tiles is the Badlands tileset.

ok, so no tile mixing can be done at all...
what about tile properties... is there a way to edit tile properties, so that if i made a space tileset map, i could build in the space tiles in the game.. (and no, i dont mean preplaced units)

Do mean, creat new terrain in the map? Fore example, you do something then the terrain changes? Not possible.

You know, i dont know much about programming yet (or at all, lol), but i would say it could be possible, but it would be more of a mod, and problably not work with anyone not running the mod.. to me i think the map tiles are in different "folders", (which would be why u cant mix them) so starcraft only uses one at a time, and if it tried to use 2 or more at a time, it would problably crash... so if thats the case, starcraft would have to be patched, or modded to be able to do so. therefore anyone wanting to use the map, may or may not have to run the same patch/mod.. just a thought, i could be totally wrong!! lol

no, i mean just plain old, build on space tiles, like building on any non buildable tile, in a game... can i edit properties of tiles so i could build a structure on them?

You can't. And where do you go to edit the properties?

The old TileEdit program, but that is for modding. You can build on installation, only the unused tiles (in the palette go below the normal tiles before the edge tiles and there is a column of the same tiles that are unused and can be built on).

Tell him, with full backing from the Ubers and Advanceds at Staredit Network It is impossible without changing things other than the CHK.
