I really need some help.

Hey there, people! I don't know if i'm in the right thread for this, but it's still game development. Everyone knows, a Pokémon game needs tiles. I just got a problem with making these.
I got a new Dell Laptop with Windows 7 on it and usually use Paint for making my tiles. The problem is, the new paint is SO EXTREMELY COMPLICATED I don't know what I should do. I once saw this modified-for-Windows 7 version of MS Paint XP, and wondered if such a thing also exists for Vista's Paint?
Please comment, I really need help.

PS. If this thread is in the wrong place, please move it.
Greets,
Dew.

Man, just download paint.net and have fun, best spriting tool to me for game developping =].

I tried Paint.NET. Just doesn't work for me.

Go Here

And download NEt Framework 3.5

You could always try GIMP as well, I hear that works well. I am a photoshop man myself. I tried looking for the Windows 7 Revert with no luck, I will keep hunting though.

EDIT

Try this

@Venom.
That's Paint.NET. I told that didn't work with me.

@Wordslayer
Thanks, unfortunately, this method doesn't work for me either.

I get what you're on about. You don't want a complicated graphics program; you just want a canvas and pixel painting. Transparency can be handled elsewhere (I use Paint.NET for transparency only, and Paint for the actual drawing).

I know what you mean about wanting the old Paint. The new Windows Paint has a different default palette and all kinds of brushes. I much prefer using the few pixelly brushes in the old Paint (I used XP before upgrading to 7) to having a bunch of other brushes (ink, crayon, etc.) and shapes that I'll never use. Also, the new eraser sometimes doesn't erase a pixel if just the edge of it goes over it, which is annoying.

Still, I like the increased number of Undo steps now, and the resize/flip options are right there for easy access. And I think it's easier now to define and custom colours, particularly as they no longer replace the default palette.

I'm afraid I don't know about getting the Vista Paint into 7. You mentioned seeing a modified version of Paint XP - where can I find it?

I know that you sorted this out, so I'm closing this thread since you shouldn't of started a thread on this ha.

For those wondering, I helped him get XP version of paint (which is like vista paint)- works fine as a portable .exe (meaning no install).
