How can I add a new tile type?
What do I need to know and what tools do I need?

You use XCC TMP Editor 1.05 to make tiles, then add it to terrain INI like temperat(md).ini. TMP Shop tool is there for bulk processing.

Terrain types table - https://ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=526762
Mainly it determines the charectistics of the subtile (and for a cell on which it is placed) and helps in pathfinding.

Ramp types is used by the game only for ramp tiles. Game has specific logic based on direction etc. for the ramps. Check the ramp numbers on ramp tiles (rmpfx).

The image has to be exactly the same size as the tile for it to copy correctly.

How can I crop a big image into rhombus pieces with diagonal lengths 60 & 30 in a not annoying way...

You can export/save image from an existing tile. Then use tools like photoshop and use selection features in it.

Still a lot of work for 36 subtiles #Mad I manually need to check every tile one by one to ensure they line up perfectly. Is there a 6x6 template here so I don’t need to enter all these coordinates?

How can I convert a tile to other theaters without reloading every single image?
Or do tiles support custom palette? how do I code them exactly if I have all 6 theater files?
