    • Introduction

    I'm going to show you how to tile insert using a method that I've adopted by using some of paint's less known features.

    What You'll Need

    • Advanced Map (A-Map)
    • Paint
    • A positive attitude

    Instructions

    1. Open A-Map
      Spoiler:
    2. Open the map with the tileset you want to destr-- err... I mean change
      Spoiler:
    3. Click on the puzzle piece
    4. Go to the palette that most resembles your tile's colour or to the palette with the colours you want to change it to
      Spoiler:
    5. Now go Picture>Save Tileset 2 (or 1 if you're editing the default tileset)
      Spoiler:
    6. Open your tileset and tile with paint
      Spoiler:
    7. Paste your tile into the tileset
      Spoiler:
    8. Click on the eyedropper
      Spoiler:
    9. Left click on your tile's colour
      Spoiler:
    10. Click on the eyedropper again
    11. Right click on the colour that resembles the tile most or the colour you want to change it to
      Spoiler:
    12. Click on the eraser
      Spoiler:
    13. Hold control and press + - to resize your eraser to the size of the tile (or the size you want but resizing the eraser to the size of the tile is faster)
      Spoiler:
    14. Hold the right button and drag the eraser across the tile (or just right click if it's bigger than the tile)
      Spoiler:
    15. Repeat steps 8-14 until you recoloured your whole tile
      Spoiler:
    16. Open A-Map again and click load tileset 2 (again 1 if you're editing the default tileset)
      Spoiler:
    17. Check in A-Map if the tile looks like the tile in paint
      Spoiler:
    18. Voila, you have just inserted your first tile!

    Keynotes

    I hope this tutorial helps anybody who doesn't know how to tile insert or if it helps out the seasoned tile inserter that wants an alternative way to tile insert. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to post below.

    Wow, this is probably the easiest tile inserting tutorial I've ever seen.

    Once I get a laptop and re-add everything, I'll be sure to try this.
    Thanks~

    Statement: This helps so many who have tile Inserting problems. I was considering making a tut like this, but I am glad you beat me to it, as you have explained it well. I didn't know the eraser thing, but I prefer doing it the slow way, so I know I have done it and not forget.

    • also If you have a program that can change it from RBG color to indexed color, just change the image to insedxed color and drop you picture in. The program will automatically adjust the colors to the closest one in the pallette.

    Well, go with the png version because it has the best quality out of the 3. Why doesn't this help you out? I've tried to explain this tut as easily as possible.

    Oh.... OK. You simply open advanced map, look for a tileset with enough space, and copy the tile (in this case, the house) into your tileset. It's all explained in the tut for you, if you read it.

    • thanks alot, this is a simple and easy tutorial to follow, thanks :)
    i CAN get my tiles to appear in the certain palette viewer(image 17 in your tutorial,it is where your tile is), but they do not appear in the actual place where you map them, or in the place where you view what tiles you have (in the block editor).
    please help, thanks.
