NEW THREAD: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/tiled-plugin-demo-for-rmmv-1-3-0-released.104705/ Tiled Plugin for RPG Maker MV Presented by @Dr.Yami and @Archeia Tired of RPG Maker MV's Map Editor? Do you want to map the XP way but more? Tired of Parallax Mapping? Want to do round corners? Want to create a map with basically unlimited layers? Well, now all those worries are gone! Instead, let's just use the awesome map editor, TileD! Free, easy to use and very flexible Map Editor. This is one of our reveals for RMMV's release but due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to showcase this really awesome plugin in RPG Maker Channel. In case it's not obvious, Tiled is a separate program created by Bjorn. Please read the PDF before you attempt to use this plugin. Make sure to use Tiled 1.0.3 since the latest JSON format is ruining this plugin. Download (RMMV Version 1.3.0+)(Legacy Version) Tiled Source Code Download (For Plugin Developers) Tiled Version 1.0.3 Instructions included with the zip file! Download (RMMV Version 1.2.0) (Legacy Version) User Extensions (Version 1.2.0): Liquidize Tilemap Extensions Surprising Sandwich Additional Features How to Use (Version 1.2.0): Create a New Folder named **maps** (without asterisks) inside game project's root folder. Create a new map in TileD. The settings must be CSV and Orthogonal. The Tile size you set will be the grid in the game! When loading your images, make sure to reference them all in the game's **img/tilesets** folder. Export as json file and make sure that the filename is Map*ID*.json. ID being the map's index as seen in the editor. DO NOT ADD "00". Put all json files from Tiled into the **maps** folder. Put all tilesets into the game's **img/tilesets** This is a reminder! Put ` ` into an event comment box for positioning. For upper layer (layer that ABOVE player), add *Custom Properties* (in Tiled) `layer` with value `upper` For lower layer (layer that BELOW player), no need to add anything For collision: any Tile Layer with *Custom Properties* (in Tiled) `collision` with value `true` has collision. Which mean any tile that is not empty in that Layer will have collision. You can turn off Visible for Collision Layer if you want. For Region ID: any Tile Layer with *Custom Properties* (in Tiled) `regionId` with value is number will make any tile that is not empty has a region ID of entered number. You can turn off Visible for Region Layer if you want. Images for Image Layers should be put in **img/parallaxes** For parallax: add *Custom Properties* (in Tiled) `parallax` with value `true` to Image Layer. Add *Custom Properties* `planeX` and `planeY` for parallax moving. For arrow passable: add *Custom Properties* (in Tiled) `arrowImpassable` with value `up` `down` `left` or `right` to Tile Layer. Any tile that is not empty on that layer will make the *direction* based on `arrowImpassable` value impassable. To Submit a Bug Report To make a bug report, simply report it in this thread. Chances are, I will find out about the bug in this thread than by making one in the JS Support forum. If your map reaches 10k+++ pixels I will ignore all reports about that. Disclaimer: We're super busy and we won't have time to do compatibility fixes or checks AT ALL. Please test it out yourself and ask the respective scripter for any issues that may happen. >>>NOTE!<<<HOWEVER, before you make a bug report! Download all the latest version of the plugins (and installing them properly). If you don't have the patience to do that, I won't share my patience to fix the bug. If you still get the bug after updating all the plugins and installing them properly, continue on and using this template: Here is the template to submit a bug report: Plugin Name: (What is the name of the plugin?) Error Message: If you received an error message: Press F8 when you receive it to open up the debug console. On the console tab, copy/paste the error log and paste it here. If you post a screenshot, host it on imgur.com or another website because the images posted here are tiny and I can't read it. How to Replicate Bug: In order for me to fix a bug properly, explain to me IN DETAIL, how you managed to get it to occur. If I cannot replicate the bug, I may ask you to upload a copy of your game's project for me online through either Mediafire, Dropbox, Mega.co or any other online hosting provider. Do NOT deploy the game. After doing so, it's best if you send it through private message if you don't want others rummaging through your game's files. Other: Post screenshots of the bug, screenshots of your plugin list, videos also help, etc. Anything that will make it more clear for me will help me out. Thank you for your cooperation!

Hey. So I'm having performance issues with tppd parallax mapping and was looking how should i make rpg maker use less memory for maps like 60x60.
Can I cut my parallax map into 10x10 pieces and somehow use it in rpg maker? How would default characters would move in map like that?
Does it have limited amount of tilesheet's like rpg maker where you can only use 8 or something like thats? This was my main reason why I'm creating maps using parallax.
Tiled has no limits on how many tilesets or tile layers you can use, and you can set your own grid size. It's not great for parallaxed maps; you'll run into the same performance issue regardless.
That said, if you're making your parallaxed maps out of TILES (but making use of things like layers and such in photoshop) Tiled is an excellent choice and will decrease your map/file sizes significantly. If you're painting/blending your maps, Tiled won't help you at all.

Where you even download TileD 1.0.3? There's only 1.1.5 version which doesn't work with RPG maker mv.

I suggest you to add that to the first post. I almost give up on this plugin because I couldnt run it with newest tileD version.
Thank you for helping me :)

Surprising. I'm using TileD 1.1.4 and it works just fine for me. Nothing has been borked. Not sure the issue I have is due to the version difference, but everything else seems to be working properly.

How about performance if I make my map just only from tiles? Is it possible to have a good performance for 100x100 tile map?
What if I use parallax image for lightning if image file size is just only few kilobytes? I just add white color and blur it out to look like lightning comming out from windows.

Does this plugin work on higher resolutions than default?
I use Yanfly core engine set to Full HD and my tiles disapearing while walking, unless I set my game resolution to default.

It was option in plugin itself, priority tiles. I increased it's number, and it's working just fine!
I'm so happy :) a great tool.

Hi there. I'm not sure what's going on... but I made a test map and all I'm getting is a black map even though I drew stuff in TileD. I'm not sure if its an issue with the tilesets or what. I think I have everything in the right folders and stuff, and it's not throwing an error like it did for not having a .json for a designated map.

If you're making a big or detailed map, Tiled is not your best choice. It breaks easily. For a regular RPG maker game, it's great. But if you're using custom textures, 2x size with 50+ items placed on a map, it won't work. You get black textures and other issues.

Did you embed the tileset into the map upon creating said tileset in TileD?
Archeia

#415 May 30, 2018, 08:42 PM Source

Make sure your tile sheets are at maximum 1024x1024 as the manual says. You can have infinite tilesets so this limitation shouldn't affect you.

This is false. I use Tiled for a massive project with a big map.

Couldn't handle my 50x50 map. Why Do I have to increase priority tile limit to over 1000 just to display all tiles? And the game starts lagging like crazy. Otherwise, I get black textures and disappearing tiles. On bigger maps, all the tiles are black. Smaller maps run just fine.

My biggest map was like 100xsomething. In fact here's one of the maps:

There's a lot of reason why it will lag.

Because you are drawing a ton of tiles. (This depends on your tile size too)
You increase the priority to display more tiles which also affects anti-lag too.
RPG Maker MV is also an HTML5 engine so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea i know it's great tool, but my maps is too much for it I guess. My parallax maps saved in png is 70mb size, interiors like 10-40mb. Tiles are 2x regular size, I had to cut houses into 4 parts to display on tiled a single one of them. And there was lot of doodads, plus 1600x900 resolution. So I figured out, tiled couldn't handle that amount of information so instead parallax mapping is best for me. Tiled had some nice features thought.

I did not embed the tileset on the map. What does that exactly do? I don't remember reading that in the directions huehuehue. I can try again.

Right now, I'm just using a stock mv tileset so its 768 x 576.

Yeah, it's not in the documentation because it works off an older version of TileD that did that automatically. This places the tileset reference in the json file that is needed for the plugin to detect and load the tileset(s). Believe me, I was just as confused when I went through it. After playing around with the later versions of TileD and finding out you had to embed the tileset for every map, and that it worked, I made my video tutorial on it to help others with that issue. It's not very good, but it's pretty informative. :p

You don't need to embed tilesets on the map. I haven't been doing that at all. You can just use the 1.0.3 version which is still downloadable on their Github.
