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

But with version 1.20 it works fine. Thank you.

Don't use it. As mentioned somewhere in this thread, it's a BETA plugin. I'm not supporting it anymore.

Hi, quick question:

it is possible to map using isometric orientation?

I've failed a lot trying to figure out how to

I cant seem to get this to work properly i must be doing something seriously wrong where to start with the issues i currently am plagued with.

1. I cant seem to get collisions to work i've tried multiple ways but i feel as if i am not doing something correctly when i place it on the tileD editor when i play test the collision are not appearing and my character can run around the map as if nothing blocks him.

2.my characters go over a tile when i set a tile zIndex to be above the person so he appears under the tile.

Been at it for almost 3 hours cant seem to fix it...

It means you're using the wrong version of Tiled. We wrote the specific version you have to use in the topic.

I'm just digging into TileD mapping but this seems like an awesome plugin. I apologize if this is already answered elsewhere, but is there a way to handle vehicles, particularly boats, in TileD? Is there a way to identify tiles in TileD as "water" for boat pathfinding/collision purposes? I can set up and use a boat event but it only recognizes the water tiles as placed in the RMMV editor.

This plugin doesn't have terrains so you have to use a scripts that allows regions to act like vehicle terrains.

#89 Jul 9, 2020, 12:28 AM Source

Hello, back again... Thanks for your previous response, using a region script for the vehicles works fine.

Now I'm having an issue with animated tiles, particularly animated tiles that use different animation speeds--is that supported by this plugin?

Here's the issue. I'm using two separate tilesheets, one with the water itself and one with the waterfall, both animated. The waterfall animations are set to 100ms, the water animations are set to 350. The first image shows how they animate in TileD, which is how I'd like it to look. The second image is how it actually looks in RPG Maker. Apologies for the image quality, but hopefully you can see the circled tile from the water tilesheet behaves strangely in-game. It appears to be animating at the 100ms framerate like the waterfall tiles. It does this regardless of where it's placed (you can see another instance of the tile to the left behaving the same way). The second row of waterfall tiles also animates a little weirdly, but it's harder to notice here.

I'm totally baffled; I've quadruple-checked the tileset animations, all the tiles are set properly to the appropriate framerate, etc. Tile sheets are less than 1024x1024.

The reason I ask whether separate animation speeds are a problem is because the only solution I've found for this is to set all animations in all tilesheets to the same framerate (e.g. 350). Then all the tiles animate properly at that speed. Of course, that gives me really fast water lapping, or really slow waterfalls, but... if it is just a compatibility issue at least I could stop pulling my hair out over it.

If different animation speeds are supported, any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Archeia

#90 Jul 9, 2020, 02:56 AM Source

Different Animation speeds shouldn't be a problem. It depends on how you implemented it though.
IIRC certain tiles are not rendered immediately animation wise if it's "off camera"
Featherbrain

#91 Jul 9, 2020, 01:04 PM Source

Those tiles were indeed on a big map where they'd be "off camera" when the player enters the map; but I tried repositioning the tiles so that they would appear on-screen immediately, on two different maps, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

I also tried tripling the frames for the slower animation, e.g. every frame is 100ms long on all animations, but on the slower moving tiles there are three of each frame so it should approximate 300ms framerate. That didn't change anything either.

What finally seems to help is having all the animated tiles on the same tileset! Now that I did that it seems to work as expected. The only con to that solution is it implies a limit to the animated tiles I can use to what will fit in a single <1024 x 1024 tileset sheet, but I can probably live with that.

I can get everything to run, but my map is always blank. I'm using default tilesets so I know their not too large and my collision checks out fine when I set it. I've tried to troubleshoot different ways and none have worked. I've also tried it with the Templates that come with the plugin and they also did not work.

I'm using both RMMV 1.6.1 and Tiled 1.0.3

There's a sample project that should work.

The sample projects somehow works, but that doesn't help me with my game, unless your saying I should just edit that.

Compare what you're doing with your project and why it doesn't work?
I don't really have time to play tech support.

I know you're busy Archeia, but I was wondering if you've had problems when using the KEN_TiledFlagsLayer plugin. I've been noticing that the bush tile effect has been showing up where there is no flags layer in TileD at all. Only recently have I been able to replicate it consistently because it dawned on me what the issue might be.

What it seems to be is that when I move from Map A (which has some bush flags) to Map B (which does not), the game doesn't get rid of Map A's bush flags. I tested one of my maps with the flags and a copy of it without flags and it is a 1-on-1 match. I can "solve" the problem by giving the maps with no flag layer a flag layer and have a flag thrown off in a corner, but it seems a little silly to do that.

This does not occur if the KEN_TiledFlagsLayer is turned off.

Definitely not high priority! I can always go back to using regions since those do not have this issue. I just figured I'd mention what I found.

So, will this ever me made compatible with MV 1.6.2 or am I better off downgrading to 1.6.1 instead of waiting?

There is no difference between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 except for JP deployment.

Ah, thank you for reminding me of that. I was fiddling around in STEAM's "Betas tab" for MV but couldn't find 1.6.1 so I was a bit confused, but since I'm on 1.6.2, I guess I don't have to worry about that. :kaoluv:

Hello everyone,

i am using this plugin and it works very good in general. But sometimes, in RPG Maker MV it doesn't draw the right tile. I have for example a tile from a tileset "floor", but RPG Maker uses a different tile, and than everything is messed up. It works with some tilesets, but not with everyone. I saved all the tilesets as image-files in the tileset folder and I saved them as json files in the maps folder. One tileset, that is not drawn right, has the size 768x864, so the size cannot be the problem.

My assumption is, that it could have something to do with the amount of tilesets that you use in Tiled. Maybe RPG Maker cannot handle it? The other explanation would be, that I used too many layers in Tiled, which seems unlikely, because it works with some Tilesets. Does anyone have an idea, why it is not working?

This is how it look in RPG Maker, when it uses the wrong floor and wall tiles from the wrong tilesets:
(It also represents my feelings in these situations :unsure: )
