Ok, here's the function I use to split an image up into separate tiles.
function loadTileset(path$, _TileSize, _ImgNeedle)
tmpImg = 9999
m1 = 1
load image path$, tmpImg
make memblock from image m1, tmpImg
delete image tmpImg
width = memblock dword(m1,0)
height = memblock dword(m1,4)
rows = height / _TileSize
cols = width / _TileSize
m2 = 2
make memblock m2, _TileSize*_TileSize*4+12
write memblock dword m2, 0, _TileSize
write memblock dword m2, 4, _TileSize
write memblock dword m2, 8, depth
color as dword
for r = 0 to rows-1
for c = 0 to cols-1
for y = 0 to _TileSize-1
for x = 0 to _TileSize-1
pos = (((y+r*_TileSize)*width)+(x+c*_TileSize))*4 + 12
color = memblock dword(m1, pos)
pos2 = ((y*_TileSize)+x)*4 + 12
write memblock dword m2, pos2, color
alpha = color >> 24
write memblock byte m2, pos2+3, alpha
next x
next y
make image from memblock _ImgNeedle, m2
inc _ImgNeedle
next c
next r
delete memblock m2
delete memblock m1
endfunction
VanB, isometric really does add so much more depth to a 2D game. I'm going to take a look into a more sophisticated collision system which would allow for more precise collision with tiles which only use half its space. Think of a square cut diagonally. If I get that working, then technically you could fake the isometric tiles (i say fake because the system isn't true isometric) as long as they're drawn properly.
