Tiled Plugin

Archeia · 2019-01-21T11:30:32+0900

Tiled Plugin for RPG Maker MV Presented by @Dr.Yami and @Archeia Do you want to use tiles of any size? Tired of RPG Maker VX-MV style map editor? Tired of Parallax Mapping? Want to have more control over your map collision? Want more animation frames from your tiles? Do you prefer a more painterly style of way of mapping? Tiled is a general map editor made by Thorbjørn Lindeijer (@BJÖRN). It offers many features such as multiple layers, grid-free object layers and more! We recommend reading the documentation on the Tiled website for the full list. We implemented it in RPG Maker MV for our personal projects and we hope that it will help your project in the future! This only works with Tiled 1.0.3 - 1.1.x. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH THE LATEST VERSIONS FROM 1.2.0 ONWARDS.Terms of Use: By using this plugin, you agree to the following terms: All our plugins are tested on newer versions of RPG Maker MV. All false reports about this plugin not working on X version of RPG Maker MV will be swiftly ignored and/or deleted to avoid misinformation. You can use the plugin for commercial and non-commercial purposes. If you wish to support us, you can give us a tip. You must credit Dr. Yami and Archeia when using this plugin. You cannot use the RPG Maker materials found in this demo for non-RPG Maker engines. You must own RPG Maker XP in order to use the assets found in this demo for other maker engines. You cannot use any of the custom assets, found in the demo. You can however use any of the image graphics found in Map Templates. 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 developer for any issues that may happen. We will not take responsibility if your project breaks because of misuse of the plugin. Your project is your own responsibility. Always make backups. Sample Project Downloads The plugin has a ton of multiple versions based on the Tiled Editor and RPG Maker MV you are using. Download Tiled_RMMV_Ver1.6.1_Tiled_1.0.3 This version includes Tiled 1.0.3 plugin compatible and in an RPG Maker MV 1.6.0 Project. This plugin is compatible from RPG Maker MV 1.3.0 - 1.6.1. Script-Only Downloads Github Page To find the old thread, go here. Installation To get started on using the plugin, there are some very important information that you need take into mind. Download Tiled from the website: https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/releases/tag/v1.0.3 Create a maps folder in the project’s root folder. Install the plugin. Here’s an instructional video from Yanfly. Getting Started In the demo folder, there is a folder called Map Templates. Decide on the Map Grid and the Movement Grid you would like to use in the entire game. For example, if you want a 32 x 32 Grid for both Map and Movement, then pick “map00_Template_32x32” and “Tile_Collisions_32x32” for your game. If you want to use 32 x 32 assets but want a 16 x 16 autotile and movement, then select “map00_Template_16x16” and “Tile_Collisions_16x16” for your game’s template. When creating tile sheets, the size must not be more than 1024 x 1024. Otherwise, you will get a black screen. It’s recommended to load no more than 10 tile sheets per map. Tutorials Work in Progress Documentation A redo of the documentation. Still in early stages but should contain a lot of useful information. Tea's Jams Terrain Tutorial This is a very basic rundown of how to use RPG Maker MV auto tiles as terrains in TileD (Terrains are used like autotiles in TileD) It also covers how to animate RPG Maker animated autotiles in TileD. Deldel's Terrain Tutorial This is a short tutorial to show you how to work with RPG Maker's autotiles in Tiled to make pre-rendering mapping easier. If you do not know what Tiled is, it's a program that allows you to create maps with Tilesets (like RPG Maker) but with the added bonus of an unlimited number of layers, unlimited tilesets per map and the possibility to extract multiple PNGs from your map so that you can edit its lighting in photoshop (if you want to) among other things. Add-Ons https://archeia.itch.io/tiled-plugin-for-rpg-maker-mv/devlog/86491/tiled-add-ons https://github.com/Archeia/Princess-Project-MV/tree/master/Tiled/Add-On Features → AEL_TilesetPropertyRegions - You can now use Regions to have RPG Maker MV specific tile functions. The following features are now implemented: Ladder Counter Damage Floor Bush Bush Height → KEN_TiledFlagsLayer - This allows you to add special flags like ladder, counter, damage, etc. natively with Tiled. Here's how you would implement it. Add Tile_Flags_32x32.json to your map. Create a new layer called FLAGS (or something) and make sure to add the property flags -> True. Just like this picture: Spoiler REMEMBER: Do not add a flags layer and not put any of the flag tiles on it. It will cause a game crash. → KEN_PictureBelowChars - Plugin to display a picture with a specific ID below characters but above tilemap. *************************************…

@fragmentedbergyo

Are you using the latest version of RPG Maker?

Did you name them correctly like, map1.json etc. you don't have any tmx files in your project/maps folder right?

Well, I'll be damned, that was the slip-up. I'm keeping them separate henceforth.

One last thing if I may: I'm having difficulties with collision, and would ask for someone to check out what's going wrong here.
I've linked a modified demo, containing only one single map. The collision doesn't work at all, but for some reason the character is invisible until you interact with the boat and leave it again. Other test projects didn't have that issue, so it's likely just me messing it up while haphazardly throwing this together.
Thank you for your time.

you probably saved it with a new version of tiled and not as json1.
or you modified it with a new tiled and saved and as a result, all tileset properties disappeared.
or you forgot to put collision -> tile-base on the collision layer property.

Let me check something: There's a version of the plugin that's compatible with TileD 1.2.x, correct? I've been using that one specifically. The way I understood it, that version doesn't require the legacy json format plugin to be active.
Activating the json1 plugin still demonstrates the same behavior. All attempts have had collision layer properties set up properly as well.

Why is this happening? For some reason the ceiling tileset is pulling from another one, I think?

It's in BETA so it's buggy. Just use the old legacy version.

@MissyChrissy, check your priority numbers and Z-Index

Alright, thanks. Done that and am issueless so far.
Thank you both a bunch for the help.

@Archeia Thanks for the swift response. It doesn't happen to every map and I've been using the map templates. This time I made a map without it and now it works fine. Don't know what happened. Thanks again and big thanks for this plugin! :)

This is an amazing plugin @Archeia.

I'd just like to report you one little issue about this plugin on the OSX version of RMMV.
I'm using my MacBook Pro and found some blinking issue at 4 sides while the map scrolling.
Tested on my Windows PC and not blinking at all.
I know it is weird but now happening.

If you have any idea, could you address me how to resolve it?
Thank you

Thanks for using!
Depending on your MacOS the issue differs. It's also exhausting to figure out Mac issues especially when you don't really use one. I do not have any plans right now to fix Mac compatibility.

Thanks for all the work guys!

I'm experimenting with using the TileD plugin, and I was wondering if you could give me some insights on how the graphics are scaled up when using lower-res tiles. Specifically, in the included demo, $MUSH_MenuOptionScreenResolution_P1.js seems to be the plugin that does the heavy lifting including the scaling (or rather lack there of) for menus. There are a few functions that adjust the title screen and battles, but text messages and in the in-game menus seem to work fine out of the box. The GUI assets are not scaled down either from the default sizes of RPG Maker MV.

However, I'm having trouble tracking down which elements actually scale up the tile map compared to the canvas context and the app window itself. I see the $MUSH plugin setting 8 different variables:
Code:
SceneManager._screenWidth SceneManager._screenHeight SceneManager._boxWidth SceneManager._boxHeight Graphics._width Graphics._height Graphics.boxWidth Graphics.boxHeight
What I'd like to know is how these should be set based on the screen layout given my desired visible map using the smaller tiles, and how big the window should be when this map is scaled up. I understand this might be a bit outside the functionality of the TileD plugin, so any links giving more info on how these variables are used would be appreciated as well.

Please consult @MushroomCake28. This thread is not for that plugin.

OK, sure thing. However, can you confirm which plugins you used to facilitate the scaling of your own plugin's functionality?

That and Core Engine is the only one I used.

Thanks for the software, is really helpful. I have a question, do you know why i can´t save the maps from tileD to .json?, i have not a clue how i can do that. In the moment I´m save the file on the 'maps' folder, apear an error: "The file extension does not match the chosen file type. Tiled may not automatically recognize your file when loading. Are you sure you want to save with this extension?", I tryed to change the extension but is the same thing always. Thanks again!

I don't understand your question.
