Honestly, I'm not sure where the issue lies. I have taken your image and tested it with STSM and I get this much more sensible result. I would recommend you use this slope, STSM cannot deal with overhangs but I cannot guarantee that it will fix your issue. I assume you're already using the most recent version of the tool? If not, download it again.
These images should be fine, I made them with the tool in mind. Do you get any error messages saying a field is empty, do you input all necessary fields (maybe you forgot the background colour)? Only other issue I could see is Java not being installed on your PC, so the tool cannot be ran. Is it?
Good afternoon! I have read your updated description. Could you explain how to format the images so that the tool can use them correctly. I just use the embedded images with the tool and click convert, but nothing happens.
The description of this tool is so old, a rewrite to make it clearer is long overdue. Making an example video is a good idea, I'll consider making one if I can. In the meantime, do you have any problems I could help you with? If you're unsure about something, I could explain to you how to use it.
Do you mean bending around a custom shape? Sadly not, to do that I'd actually have to find a way to express the shapes mathematically. I can do that with circles because they're so simple.
You're more than welcome. If there's any ideas for features or new tools I could make, feel free to reach out. And don't forget to recommend it to all your friends and colleagues!
Woah, this is ridiculously underrated! it took me a few minutes to figure it out, but once you do, this is an incredibly useful tool to jumpstart tileset creation! I'm actually working on the level chunks for a little fangame called Sonic CD 2, and this has helped a ton! :D Here's the tileset btw :P
Thank you. If you think there's something to add that would make using this better, go ahead and tell me. That tile set looks great so far looking forward to what you make of it!
the only thing I'd add is an extra version of the first two tiles on the bottom row, where it doesn't use the "bottom" tiles, so that tilesets can still have a bottom tile without having tall walls have the bottom tile keep popping up. but other than that, it's a great tool, thank you so much for making this! :D

I don't know if you're still updating this, but the custom tile function is not working for me. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you! I will test with this shape to see if it works
It worked thanks I guess I can rotate the result to complete the loop! Thank you so much for this tool by the way saved me countless hours :D
You're welcome! I hope the tool will continue to serve you well in the future.
These are the images I use

Yes, the problem was in Java. I installed it and everything worked. Thanks a lot
You're welcome. Enjoy using this and my other tools!

Hello! Could you please help me. I can't figure out this useful tool. Can you please record a video tutorial of the process of creating a set of tiles

Thank you very much for the answer. I look forward to your video tutorial on this useful tool.
is there a way to have a custom tile shape that uses the "factory" style rotation of the top texture?

ah, alright. thanks again for making this tool though, this is still criminally underrated and has saved me hours of work 👍
