Okay, so I’m new to Tiled but I absolutely love this program! I’ve spent the past hour and a half trying to figure this out; the closest I came was something about automapping a cave wall in this forum, which I’m not quite sure is what I want. So, here’s my issue: I am trying to create a wall using …

You can’t really paint terrain without having at least one tile that is entirely filled with that terrain. This is why you’re only seeing some results while holding Ctrl, since that makes it modify only part of a tile. Fortunately, you have only black outside of your wall, and you can use that as t…

Thank you for your response! Unfortunately, that setup didn’t work. When I tried that, it only let me paint in black - even when I held control down. Any other suggestions?

Hmm, maybe you did something a little differently? It worked fine for me: [image] (currently have the tool set to Erase Terrain) Edit: Of course, I realize this is the “wrong way around”, but you could just fill the map with the black tile and then use the terrain tool in erase mode to create spa…

I’m not sure about this erase mode your talking about; I only see an erase mode for modifying the actual terrain I created. With that said, I think I found the solution! I just deleted the background making it all gray like yours was. Then, I was able to use the terrain tool normally. Afterwords, I…

Bjorn, Gotcha, yes, that makes a lot of sense. I was able to figure it out that way too. I actually had a follow up question for you too, if you wouldn’t mind… How can I make that black that’s inside these walls transparent? Not the walls themselves, but just the black? I’m trying to add a floor …

Trying not to be frustrated here, but…I opened gimp and edited the tileset so that I can remove the black and make it transparent. The problem is that after I load this into Tiled as a new tileset and created the terrain, it won’t let me use it. It will only let me pick terrains I created from my fi…

[image] Nightmare: The problem is that after I load this into Tiled as a new tileset and created the terrain, it won’t let me use it. It will only let me pick terrains I created from my first tileset… What can I do to fix this? Hmm, are you using Tiled 1.0.2? It contains a bug fix for terrain…

I must have just missed it, as the version I was working with was released sometime in late May. I ended up using the workaround found in the thread, and I have also downloaded the newest version of Tiled. That being said…I’m back to being stuck with my original problem: I have the grey, transparen…

I’m afraid you’d have to share your files otherwise I have no idea what’s up.
