Trip'n Slip ~ TSA Editor

The TSA editor allows you to change which tiles use which 8x8 tiles. If you all want to do is create new levels with what level tiles the game uses normally, then you need not ever venture in here. However, if you want to completely redo the graphics, the TSA editor is vital (and quite easy to use).

Very simple, as you can see. The red square around the top left most tile is the currently selected tile. The hex value of this tile is also shown in the statusbar beside the 'Selected:' text. The right value in the statusbar, is the hex value of the tile under the mouse currently. (05 in the screenshot)

Controls

The TSA editor uses every button on a standard three button mouse, but is designed to also work with a two button mouse, just in case you don't have a three button mouse (you poor unfortunate soul).

Left Mouse Button - Selects which tile you can place on the level tile to do the editing.
Middle Mouse Button - Selects which tile to edit in the graphics editor. You can also use Shift + Left Mouse Button to do this.
Right Mouse Button - Changes between the four background palettes that are in use in the level.

TSA Editing

Now, in case you cannot figure out how to edit the TSA, here is a small example on how to do it. In the below screenshot, you can see the TSA editor and the tile selector. First, select the tile that you want to use in the TSA edit of the level tile, and click the level tile in the tile selector. Easy. If you want to toggle between the four background palettes for a quadrant of the level tile, then right click on the quadrant and the editor should cycle through the available palettes.

Notes

Tiles which appear before $26 are used throughout the game, so be aware when you are changing them, you are affecting other levels also.
