sorry iam new here, just recently create an account to ask not sure is this the correct place or not.

since i like the ultica aesthetic but it dont have the dino art yet in it.

so i want to add dino tileset from chibi ultica to ultica by simply copy paste the tile config of the dino tileset i want to it and tweak the number a bit, but i got a crash instead so i want to know what i do wrong or what i need to do to make it work.

here the code

```auto
     "file": "ChibiHuge.png",
      "//": "range 10510 to 10541",
      "sprite_width": 128,
      "sprite_height": 128,
      "sprite_offset_x": -64,
      "sprite_offset_y": -96,
      "tiles": [
        {
          "id": "mon_tankbot",
          "fg": [{ "weight": 10, "sprite": 10512 }, { "weight": 1, "sprite": 10513 }, { "weight": 3, "sprite": 10514 }],
          "rotates": false
        },
        { "id": "bot_tankbot", "fg": 10510 },
        { "id": "broken_tankbot", "fg": 10511 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_acrocanthosaurus", "fg": 10515 },
        { "id": "mon_acrocanthosaurus", "fg": 10516 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_siats", "fg": 10517 },
        { "id": "mon_siats", "fg": 10518 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_allosaurus", "fg": 10517 },
        { "id": "mon_allosaurus", "fg": 10518 }
        { "id": "corpse_mon_spinosaurus", "fg": 10519 },
        { "id": "mon_spinosaurus", "fg": 10520 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_torvosaurus", "fg": 10521 },
        { "id": "mon_torvosaurus", "fg": 10522 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_tyrannosaurus", "fg": 10523 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_zyrannosaurus", "fg": 10524 },
        { "id": "mon_tyrannosaurus", "fg": 10525 },
        { "id": "mon_zyrannosaurus", "fg": 10526 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_yulecat", "fg": 10527 },
        { "id": "mon_yulecat", "fg": 10528 },
        { "id": "corpse_mon_kraken_guard", "fg": 10529 },
        { "id": "mon_kraken_guard", "fg": 10530 }

This might be a month late, so maybe you have finished this (or dropped it), but still.  
after my own recent shenanigans with tilesets these few days, I would ask first if you have copied the actual png image from Chibi to the the Ultica folder. Otherwise there would be no chance it would work.

Secondly, since I’m a noob myself, I’m not sure this would work either.  
the most closely working method seems to be creating a mod for the Ultica tileset.

For example in Cata++ mod:

> {  
> “type”: “mod\_tileset”,  
> “compatibility”: [“UNDEAD\_PEOPLE\_BASE”, “UNDEAD\_PEOPLE”, “MshockXottoplus”],  
> “tiles-new”: [

This used, then the new tiles are typed from 0 onwards.

> [  
> {  
> “type”: “mod\_tileset”,  
> “compatibility”: [  
> “Chibi\_Ultica”,  
> “UltimateCataclysm”  
> ],  
> “tile\_info”: [  
> {  
> “pixelscale”: 1,  
> “width”: 32,  
> “height”: 32,  
> “zlevel\_height”: 0,  
> “iso”: false,  
> “retract\_dist\_min”: -1.0,  
> “retract\_dist\_max”: 1.0  
> }  
> ],  
> “tiles-new”: [  
> {  
> “file”: “mod\_tileset/Eldritch\_BioArmor\_normal.png”,  
> “//”: “range 0 to 12”,  
> “sprite\_width”: 36,  
> “sprite\_height”: 38,  
> “sprite\_offset\_x”: -2,  
> “sprite\_offset\_y”: -10,  
> “tiles”: [  
> { “id”: “overlay\_female\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_EXTRA\_CLAWS”, “fg”: 0 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_male\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_EXTRA\_CLAWS”, “fg”: 1 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_female\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_EYE”, “fg”: 2 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_male\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_EYE”, “fg”: 3 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_female\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_MAW”, “fg”: 4 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_male\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_MAW”, “fg”: 5 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_female\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_SCALES”, “fg”: 6 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_male\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_SCALES”, “fg”: 7 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_female\_mutation\_WINGS\_ELDRITCH”, “fg”: 8 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_male\_mutation\_WINGS\_ELDRITCH”, “fg”: 9 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_female\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_BIOARMOR”, “fg”: 10 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_male\_mutation\_ELDRITCH\_BIOARMOR”, “fg”: 11 },  
> { “id”: “overlay\_female\_mutation\_long\_over\_eye\_var\_purple\_pink”, “fg”: 12 }  
> ]  
> }  
> ]  
> }  
> ]

This is what I did for my mod. And make sure to name the json “mod\_tileset.json”, cuz otherwise it didnt work for me.

Hopefully this is of some help.

A simple demonstration, in addition to the dinosaur sprites are distributed in :ChibiLarge.png and other PNGS
