Simple Tiled Implementation - STI v1.2.3.0

[raidho36]

Just get Tiled, STI is a loader of Tiled maps.

As for generating atlases, 5 million years worth of google search reveals things like https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker

I already have Tiled. I tried to follow the tutorial and it seems there is a problem with drawing my layer with the player It gets created but doesn't get drawn...

I walked through the code with the Zerobrane debugger, it seems that the "sprites" layer doesn't have the draw() function at all. Any ideas why that would happen, I was just following the tutorial.

For custom layers, you need to create your own callbacks.

Why isn't this mentioned anywhere in the tutorial? I followed the tutorial exactly, twice, every time with the same result (or lack of one).

It is totally there, in the code examples.

I copied the code examples, and it's not working. See the .love I attached to an earlier post.

So on line 15, you are trying to create the layer in slot 8 but you don't have 7 other slots like my example did, so ipairs wasn't picking it up. Removing the 8 puts it in the right slot, in this case 3. There is another small issue which is the fault of the tutorial: love.graphics.point seems to no longer exist (sliiiiiime!) so switch it to love.graphics.circle fixes that.

Code: Select all

        -- Temporarily draw a point at our location so we know
        -- that our sprite is offset properly
        love.graphics.circle("fill", math.floor(self.player.x), math.floor(self.player.y), 5)
