I need mapping help

[Horhae]

Ok how come when i place like a tree or something there will be black around it any ideas on how to fix this?

2 possible reasons.

1\. You haven't placed any ground tiles below it. I hope you didn't expect placing the tree to create grass or the likes
2\. The tileset was once saved in JPEG, or another low quality format, and thus the shade of black around the tree has been blurred.

like kreator said but thee could be another reason. look to the right of the tiles and click on fringe or another one. maybe because you were plaicing it on the lowest possble layer. you need to up it up one

I'd recommend reading this (Credits to Marsh for making it):

Cause, once again, like Kreator said, it sounds like you don't really know how the layers work. And tbh if you don't know how they work, your maps will be plain. And I'm not talking badly made, I'm talking soccerfield plain.

Or you downloaded a tileset from website and didnt make black transparent (dunno if i wrote the word correctly).

it dosent have to be black. it has to be same color as the 1st pixle in the top left hand corner.

i could make it yellow if i wanted or pink.

You got to have a backround then put the tree on mask. So it will show. Sorry i'm late lol
