Gather Maps

Gather maps and tilesets for the various events of Codebrick.

Getting Started

Tiled is a free and open source, easy to use, and flexible level editor.

• To edit tiled files (.tmx / .tsx), you need to install tiled.
• The primary tool for editing tile layers is a stamp brush that allows efficient painting and copying of tile areas.

File Structure

📁 maps

map files (.tmx) / background files (.png) / foreground files (.png) divided into project-based directories.

📁 tilesets

tileset files (.tml).

Naming Convention

It follows the naming convention of gatertown/mapmaking

for tilesets(.tsx)

group_name_#.x.tsx Where

• group is likely "gather"
• name is the tileset name, like "floors" or "decoration"
• # is the major version number. Like all versioning systems, the anything contained in a "major version" (to the left of the .) are compatable with themselves.
• x is literally "x"

for tilesheets (".png")

group_name_#.#.png

• group is likely "gather"
• name is the tilesheet name, like "floors" or "decoration"
• # is the major version number. Like all versioning systems, the anything contained in a "major version" (to the left of the .) are compatable with themselves.
• # is the minor version number. Consider these small changes like little refinements or adding more items without moving anything around.

Examples:

gather_floors 1.x.tsx points to gather_floors_1.3.png. If the tilesheet is updated (from 1.3 to 1.4) then gather_floors 1.x.tsx poitns to gather_floors_1.4.png.
