This tutorial is for GIMP. If you use any other kind of image manipulation software, results are not guaranteed to be satisfactory. GIMP is free and can be downloaded here

The video is almost an hour long, but it explains very well. The example used is the Dream Shrine from Link's Awakening's Mabe Village.

The file can only be downloaded ten times, so it would be very helpful if those who download it can upload it again and post a new dl link.

I have the video uploaded on my home directory, but I don't know for how long I can keep it there.

The video can be found http://home.student.utwente.nl/n.j.hoeijmakers/LAGB/mappingtutorial.avi. Use right mouse click and "Save target as".

I have watched and I must say it was interesting, but I have to put some notes at it. First, you merge everything with the background, resulting in using the eraser and overwriting areas on the grid. If you keep layers (not a separate layer for every pasted part, but something like buildings, trees, road, stones, cliff and decorations). By doing this you don't have to worry much about erasing to much and if the road is placed wrong, then you can easily move it.

Second, you once told me that the items have to fit the grid, but when I look at the northhouse part, the tree and house don't fit the grid or am I missing something.

For the rest it was a really good tutorial.

Initially, they should fit the grid. But in reality, all the tiles just need to line up. That's why I had us doing one square at a time, so all the tiles lined up when put together.
