External Tilesets

data/json/external_tileset is used for content specific to Bright Nights which are not presently in primary tilesets such as UDP or Ultica, for which looks_like is inadequate to depict the content to a satisfactory degree. It functions using the mod_tileset feature, applying any desired new sprites or overriding sprites to the specified tileset.

The primary advantage of this method is to set aside sprites so they won’t interfere with updating the tilesets themselves (as their sources are in the repositories of the tileset authors), and likewise ensuring anything specific to BN won’t be accidentally erased, like it would if a tileset update was submitted to BN after these editing these sprites our versions of the tilesets. It also covers divergences in content were, by nessecity, a different sprite is a better fit.
