There is a newer release of TileCutter available, see: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=4353This is an
alpha release of the new TileCutter.
Sorry about the lack of recent development. I'm going to work on this more from now on.
Please note that this version is still under development, and there may be some major bugs. If you do encounter any issues using it please submit a bug report by posting in reply to this thread with the following information:

What's also under developmentI am also developing an entirely online version of TileCutter which will use the same cutting engine. This isn't really ready for public consumption however. It will do everything that the downloadable version of TileCutter can do, and the project files will be interoperable.
NotesAll the paths in the main window are relative to the project save location path. This is intended to allow you to put all your work files in one directory, and then to be able to move or zip that directory and send it to someone else while preserving all the links to the images. Also note that the images are not saved with the project file, only links to them are (this may change at some point).
It's also worth pointing out that in order for the one click exporting to work (e.g. makeobj integration) you need to have filled out the correct details in the dat editing window. Currently this is just a text entry box, but this will change in future to a proper dat editing UI. The image array information is automatically generated and appended to whatever you type into this box.
DownloadYou can download this
alpha release of TileCutter from the following link:
TileCutter_win_0.5.2-alpha.zip (5.4 MB)
You can also download a source distribution:
TileCutter_src_0.5.2-alpha.zip (232 KB)
NOTE: The source distribution requires that you have
Python 2.6 or better installed already, and depends upon the
wxWidgets library.
And you can check out the source for this release from the SVN, using this URL:
svn://entropy.me.uk/timothy/tilecutter/tags/0.5.2/
And the current latest version from this one:
svn://entropy.me.uk/timothy/tilecutter/trunk/
While this version of TileCutter is listed as an alpha release, it is in all likelihood more stable and likely to work than the previous (0.3d.1) version. I recommend using this version over the 0.3 releases.
