Map Editor
MD Engine includes a simple map editor that can be used to edit Tiled map files.
It has a small set of features, but it's best to use it to create the map as well as to link the tilesets.
Creating the Map
To create a map inside Background & Maps view, click the button.
This will create a new empty map that can be edited by clicking the button.
Linking tilesets and change tile size
Once on the Map Editor, we go to the Editor Sidebar, then select the desired tilesets, after that click the Use on Current Layer button to confirm.
Accept the pop-up, this will link the tilesets to the map.
After that step you can safely edit the tile size on the Navigator.
Select the desired tile size, and then click the Set Tile Size button to confirm, accept the pop-up, this will set the tile size.
Small reminder:
Be aware when using Tiled Map directly! There are some restrictions that apply to the maps:
- You can't rotate tiles, only Horizontal or Vertical flips
- All tile on a layer must belong to the SAME tileset
- Only two layers can be used per map, if you have more they will be ignored
