Just remember, when you add new tiles to the bottom, you're changing the canvas size, which will give you new, empty tiles at the bottom. But it's just something you need to learn how to do, and set them up properly to avoid problems later on (like lag with massive tilesets). I don't like using graphics programs either. If you feel more comfortable with Paintshop Pro, use it. Its only problem is that it doesn't have a nice grid system, but there are plugins available to add that. MS Paint is not one of those, so avoid it. The only important things are that you use an editor that lets you have a transparent background, has a configurable grid, and preferably let you use multiple layers.

If you can't spare those right at the start of making your game, I don't think you'll get very far. But that requires planning, time, and effort. But you should be smart about it - instead of throwing every single tile you might want to use in the entire game into a single tileset, you should make smaller tilesets with just those tiles you want to use on that map, or in that region. XP is more flexible than ANY of the other makers because it DOES allow you to increase the size of your tileset. It's going to get a lot tougher than that, and require a lot more effort when you get into adding events and scripts. And that is too much effort for you to do? Adding a few tiles to an existing tileset is one of the easier things in making a game. The first person who posted after you said you simply need to extend the length. And because others have said they had the same issues. I know this because I was asked to fix a game that lagged terribly because it used these tilesets.

Because it is not important how the software is limiting you, but what can you do with these limitations. However, if you have problem with tilesets limiting you, you can always go for parallax mapping. So you can build any combination of tilesets from A to E having one for the environment and five for objects. A layer is the only one that takes graphics and B-E layers are layers that for objects. They have A layer, B layer, C layer, D layer and E layer. VXAce and MV use this tileset layer system too. It brings up tileset layers, but doesn'T allow to use any different tilesets. And by infinite I don't mean infinite, because it's still only a 32bit maker, I think the limit of the height you can use is 65536 pixels, but that already allows for huge tilesets. RPG maker XP doesn't allow for more than 1 tileset on a map, but this tileset can have infinite height. RPG maker 20 don't allow for more than 1 tileset of a fixed size. In gimp this would consist of editing layer dimensions of the tileset and Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.ĭifferent rpg makers handle tilesets differently. You're not a graphics person, but I doubt you can't make simple edits.
