I have a server, i can create a Mailman Mailinglist. Then people can send their rips to the list, other people can look at them and if they are correct i will add them to the ASRP Directory. Would this be a good idea ? I can make it a members only posting mailing list, so there should be no Spammer Problem.

If not, how are these maps made?

Maps like this (or THIS ) were made either from pasted screenshots or from ripped tiles using a mapping tool like Mappy.

Okay before capturing i switched the sprite layer off. http://www.syntheticsw.com/~wizard/tmp/MT/Fertig_9.png

That way, with the big picture, the tileset from that level and my programm i can construct the original level without enemys and load it in Mappy or TileStudio or whatever you want.

syntheticsw Registered User Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Siegen / Germany Age: 45 Posts: 34	I am thinking about coding a LevelRipper, the very same way as GFX Ripper works. It should display for every byte from the USS file, a Tile from the TileSet. It should be able to skip bytes at a regular base, for example when a Game uses data structures like this: TileNr,Infobyte1,Infobyte2,TileNr, Infobyte1,Infobyte2,TileNr ... Then you would have to look at things on the screen that looks like parts of the original level.
