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. *************************************…

Thank you for this plugin @Archeia.

I'm having issues with making a map using my own tilesheet.
The tilesheet is 480x480 with 24px tiles. The map tile size is also 24x24, and the map size is 30x20. .tmx, .tsx and .json are separated. .json map and tileset are in the maps folder, and .png tileset is in the img/tilesets folder. But I experience a bug "Cannot read property 'tilewidth' of undefined".

I had this bug even yesterday, but it somehow got solved. Now I got it again.
Can you help me?

It's not a bug. It's a user error. There's a difference.
Most likely you are using an external tileset that is not a json file. Please follow the instructions at the post.

Okay, an error. I said I have .json tileset in the maps folder.

Whatever, I now see the cause of the error. Tiled has this shortcut that allows you to mirror your tile. For me, it's the letter 'X'. When I did not use that, everything worked good, and it gives me an error just as I use that. However, you can remove that mirrored tile, and the game will work again.

Oh yeah, we don't support flipped tiles. I could've sworn I wrote that somewhere.

I realized my original resolution issue went a bit deeper than I thought. When using 16x16 tile and character assets, there's a visible amount of bleeding/blurring without any upscaling. Below is a side-by-side comparison of what the in-game assets look like on the left, and what the source PNG's should look like on the right.

I tried using the texture-correcting code found in ArcheiaSnippets.js and ArcheiaRemoveBlur.js, and inserted the "<style type="text/css"> CANVAS{image-rendering: pixelated;} </style>" line into the index.html to prevent any upscale-filtering, but the results were exactly the same. Both the tiles and the sprites exhibit clear changes, so I was wondering if this is just a result of how the TileD plugin inserts itself into the rendering process.

Nope. I use 16x16 and don't have this problem. For one, Tiled doesn't even touch character rendering.

It's possible that your RPG Maker resolution isn't scaling properly. When you take a screenshot, check what resolution it's in and if it follows your set scale. Try disabling community basic from your plugin manager if you have that enabled.

Does anyone know how to do a transfer event from one map, to another map on level 1? (Like going from a Tree house exit to the porch where the front door is) The character seems to default to level 0 (under the porch) and move events don't trigger a level change. (I tried doing a quick move event to change the level before the screen fades in, but it doesn't register.)

You can use a variable and add it on a map teleport.

Do I have to add a custom property in TileD? If so, how do I tie it to the transfer event and the variable you mentioned in RPG Maker?

Variable is in Plugin Manager.
Custom property on tiled for levels yeah and you need a duplicate collision too. The demo should've had a level example IIRC.

Ok, cool. Thank you so much. I looked at the demo, but I must have missed it. :)

Hello,
thank you for this awesome plugin.

But I have problems with the zIndex.
Layers with zIndex set to 1 or 3 works fine. But Layers set to 5 draw below the Hero.
I use RPG Maker 1.6.2 and test it with Tiled 1.3.1 and Tiled 1.2.3.
I don't use any other plugins.

What are your plugin settings?

The settings are:
Z - Player = 3
Z - Below Player = 1
Z - Above Player = 5
Half-tile movement = false
Priority Tiles Limit = 256
Map Level Variable = 0

This is the problem. Tiled Plugin only works using Tiled 1.0.3 - 1.1.6,
It will not work with 1.2.x unless you save in their 1.1.x legacy version.

Okay I activate the libjson1 plugin in Tiled 1.3.1 and save the map as JSON map files [Tiled 1.1].
Then I get the Error:
rpg_managers.js:1949 TypeError: properties.find is not a function
at getProperty (YED_Tiled.js:1200)
at Game_Map._setupCollisionFull (YED_Tiled.js:1393)

Then I download Tiled 1.1.6 and opened and saved the map with it, but I get the same error.

I have a game demo with this with map templates that should work immediately with Tiled. Is there a reason you're not using that? @BurningBeard

Thank you. Now it works. But the solution was not the map template.
The problem with the zIndex and the error with the JSON map file [Tiled 1.1] format occurred with YED_Tiled v1.30.
Now I tested YED_Tiled v1.20 with JSON map file [Tiled 1.1] format and everything works fine.
Can you confirm this problems with YED_Tiled v1.30?

Like I said. It only works with 1.1.0 - 1.1.6 because of JSON structure change from Tiled's development. I do not support 1.2.x+ right now. I even put the exact version in Installation.

I don't mean the problem with newer Tiled versions.
I mean this error with the YED_Tiled version 1.30

But with version 1.20 it works fine. Thank you.
