Graal Shop Tutorial (Graal Shop)

GANIS created in Graal Shop

This tutorial was in no way created by me.  However I believe it will help a lot of people and would like people to use it.

Again, since I use a Mac and cannot use Graal Shop, I will try and teach you what I do.

First, think about what you want to do with it.
Pull up a body image if you'd like to see the sprites.

How to LAT (Graal Editor) Linking

    Now, as mentioned before, I use a Mac. This means that I have to get on a PC to do offline levels, so I try to stay with online LATing if I can. However I was creating a quest like area, and had to get use to the linking system I learned so long ago.

    In this tutorial, I will teach you X and Y, and how to link your levels for Graal.

Type1 Tiledef for those who crave Type1!

                                                David K?                                                           03/08/11

               I created this inspired by Aeros type1 template.
           The first time I used it all my tiles were off by a pixel.
        It was odd and dysfunctional and I was pretty confused.
        I also noticed none of the "action" tiles actually worked..

    Later on I fixed the template and started to learn the hammer script,
          and how to use the level.tiles[] and update commands..

        In my few days adventure of creating my own tile-set,
                                   this is what I have learned.


             Anyway, hopefully it helps the reader out.


This version, so you're tiles are not off, there are two lines on each divider, a line for each  square section,
you draw over these lines.

How to LAT (Graal Editor) Functions

Some of you may not know how to use Graal Editor.

So I will try to explain it from what I know/learned today

by getting on my old PC to help you all and make this... 

How to LAT (House Inside Ends) Part 3

Once again, continuing  from the last tutorial, 

we will be working on Farmer Johns house.

In  this part of the tutorial,
I will be doing the upstairs and the left room.

How to LAT (House Inside Start) Part 2

Continuing off from the last tutorial,

we will be working on the inside of Farmer Jacobs' house.

First, I would like to state, this is my own personal preference, 

but I hate, hate, HATE houses that don't look like their outside.

Do you all like to enter a small tree type house and walk into a 20 level mansion? 

I don't, nor do I like to enter into a rectangle house only to find out its really a circle.

So I try to keep my house insides as close as possible to the outsides.

How to LAT (House Outside Level) Part 1

Many people have asked me "David K? can you teach me to make levels?".

Usually my answer is to just try, then ask for critiques later.. 

 However this tutorial should help a few people.

First lets start with getting the Level Editor.

If you want to make levels,
and you are not a LAT on any server, 

you will need to have the Level Editor.

David K?

First lets start with the name.

David K? is my Artist name, I am currently an alumni college student and should be receiving my Associates degree soon, in Fine Arts under the Graphic Design track.

David is my middle name that I have been called by my entire life even by my parents,
and Krout is my last name. Hence the K in David K?
Why do I have the question mark? I will explain that later towards the bottom.
