3.1 Applying Templates

1. Select tiles
2. Expand the Apply Terrain Template section and choose a template
   • Press Select Tag to Filter... to narrow the choices
   • Built-in templates all have detailed descriptions. Click the > button to expand the text.
   • Built-in templates also come with examples you can use for experimenting or as guides for arranging tiles in an image editor. Click the Examples button (top-right of the template preview image) to open the folder for that template. Examples in v1.0 are all adapted from Kenney's Pixel Shmup (CC0).
3. Assign terrains
   • As you assign terrains, you will see a preview generate.
   • To place tiles on a empty background, leave the terrain that doesn't include the center bits empty (this is usually the last one listed).
   • Missing terrains? Only terrain sets and terrains that match the template's terrain mode will be available to choose. You can choose a different template, or create a new terrain set with the correct mode.
4. Click Apply Changes (no undo)
   • This cannot be undone. But TileBitTools makes clearing and reassigning terrain bits fast and easy. Back up, but do not hesitate to experiment.
