How to use new tiles

[Taka1]

Hello,

This is Taka1. I've downloaded several tile sets and am wondering how do you upload them to ZQuest so that they can be used to make quests? Thanks.

best way is to make your quest using them, they should be quest files.
just open them up and start building.

Hi,

Good grief! The tiles have to be "quest files?" The ones I downloaded were .bmp's
and .gif's, if I am not mistaken. So in that case, how do you convert tiles into quest
files so that they can be used? Also, I've noticed that in one quest someone used
more than one message string to make a guy talk. How do you do that, since the
ZQ string editors allow only three lines of text?

There's an option in the message string option which lets you connect that string to another.

To rip a picture into tiles, go to your Tiles menu and put the cursor on the spot you want the tiles to be and push Grab. Then you can open the file and grab the tiles out of it.
If you highlight a section of your tiles menu before you push Grab, you can just choose select tiles in the picture and rip just those tiles direcly into your tile menu. But incidentally, if you just have a picture, then that's not a whole tileset, that's just a few loose tiles.
