>>43863965Yeah,
>>43863269 was just done with a brush tool and then I took the images and put them on the tileset, mapping them on the 2nd layer (the water being the first layer).
I think the main difficulty with the clouds is that it's hard to actually have them appear "natural" in an overlapping texture (although you're right, it's tedious to get it to work manually). RPG Maker XP sadly isn't a very advanced engine so it's hard to really manipulate any textures to appear to flow naturally, as everything is just tiled out.
pic rel is what the new texture looks like at max opacity. i'll try to play around with it some more, i wouldn't sweat it if you aren't able to get it to work because it's admittedly an ambitious concept. the textures you've already given me are really nice and i'll probably be able to put them to use in some way
