load tilemaps made in Tiled directly into your Ren'py screen
Here's few small functions that let you read and load maps you've made in Tiled directly into your screens to make those simple mini-games you wanted to make.
simply download and add these files to your game:
04 image fit.rpy
05 tilemap loader.rpy
tilemap test.rpy
download Tiled to make your map:
https://www.mapeditor.org/
make your map and export it as .csv file
put your map file and tileset in the game directory
follow the example screen in the `tilemap test.rpy` to find out how to add your tilemap to the screen
the important lines are:
``
default tsize = 32
default tileset = "maps/01.png"
default tilemap = "maps/01.csv"
``
where you specify your tile size, the path to your tileset image and the path to youe tilemap
------
the load_map function gives you a nested list like this:
``
default map:[
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,29,3,29,29,11,12,13,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,37,28,37,39,12,8,23,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,23,28,1,41,36,4,33,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,33,28,29,28,40,28,45,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,29,38,39,37,9,39,45,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,38,1,41,36,36,43,2,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,27,27,27,32,32,33,-1,-1],
[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1],
]
``
that comes in handy when you want to find out where is your player on the map and what blocks are around it by simply comparing your players x-y value with the map.
I think there are better ways to add tiles to renpy but I'm too lazy to fiddle with classes, Creator-Defined Displayables and I'm most comfortable working with screens and simple python functions.
