 How to create your own textures (tiles).
-Tiles comes in groups of 16. If you have more than 16, you need to divide them to other group. Resolution of default H tile is 128 x 128, 8bit 256 colors but you can do also [[http://tactical.nekromantix.com/f4/512tiles.php|512 res]] tiles. In group of 16 tiles, they all share the same Color Palette. Color Palette in default tile has colors 252 - 255 for city night lightning effect. For example you use normal daytime colors for the 252-255 color indexes, sprinkle these colors along the tile where you want the night lighting to show up, then at night time they will be shown as these values:

-To create M, L and T tiles we suggest you run the runtiles batch file we created. Inside the zip is readme.txt which should guide your tile creation process. After you have made M, L and T tiles from the original H tiles, just add your new .pcx tiles to texture.zip, copy new texture.bin (mytextures.bin) to the texture dir and fire up Tinstall.exe, SPTinstal.exe or FFTinstall to rebuild terrain with new textures as it creates new fartiles.raw file. (tbin2txt.pl and txt2bin.pl scripts in [[http://tactical.nekromantix.com/f4/downloads.php|here]]).
