Use the onclick event to initialise the code which switches the sheets. |

I haven't got any clue how this combo box works, I don't know how to make it select multiple options. |

Add the different options in the properties then change the code accordingly. |

EDIT: My code: frmMirage.ListBox.ListIndex = 0 frmMirage.picMapEditor.Visible = True With frmMirage.picBackSelect .Width = 7 * PIC_X .Height = 255 * PIC_Y .Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path + GFX_PATH + frmMirage.ListBox + GFX_EXT) As soon as I select a different tilesheet it just scrolls back to the default. Any help? |

Using more than one tileset is a lot harder than just adding a combo box to switch between them. You have to make sure you can map with the new tileset, have to make sure the map knows which tileset to pull the tiles from when it blits, etc, etc. Just rip it from Elysium. It might be the only thing they actually did right. No offense Sean. xD |

I use a massive tileset. Which means it has to load that entire massive tileset when it loads. If you use more than one tileset at smaller sizes, you could make it not load all at once and load only the tilleset you need. |

You could.... but this is Mirage we're talking about  The best way to do it would to be only loading the individual tiles you need. Cashe them for a while, and then unload.... |

Cashe? o_o It's actually pretty ideal to have tilesets load and unload if you need them or not for Winds Whisper, because they're only very small and you only need one per map because they're RM2K. |

Let me explain... When a tile is needed, load it from the disk. Use it while it's in use, and when it's not in use, mark it as so. Have a timer, say every 5 minutes, go around and unload the tiles from memory that are not in use. That way, if I load a tile, then go to a map that doesn't use it, I hold on to it. When/if I come back right away, the tile is ready to go. |

You'd need to add a new tile property with tileset number and new direct x surfaces to load the new tileset Then when blting the map, when checking the coords for the tile you need to draw, just check the tileset number as well |
