Re: how do i make new entities?

1. You do not need to code. Grab a copy of inkscape and do some tutorials on how to use it
2. Practice ... you should be familiar with a) inkscape and b) teestyle before even thinking about creating tilesets
3. If you think you are ready create a 1024x1024 px graphic with a 64x64px grid.
4. Make sure that the borders of your tiles match to each other.
5. Export the png
6. "tileset border fix" and "dilate" it.

Antoine de Saint Exupéry: It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Besides -  I am the gfx guy!

Re: how do i make new entities?

To make special entities, he has to code something, because the vanilla client only supports minimal features (spawn, weapons, health, kill, unhookable etc.). If he wants something new, he has to code it (see ddrace or whatever).

For tileset, follow Landils explanation!
