LÖVE

Added a bump.lua plugin! Thanks to BobbyJones for that!

Thanks for a great library!

Regarding the new support for hexagonal maps, are there any conversion functions (like Map:convertStaggeredTileToScreen and Map:convertcreenToStaggeredTile) planned? I can't find them in the documentation or in the source code yet.

They are planned but I need to figure out how to go about it.

Fixed a scaling bug where tileset images weren't being filtered properly causing some unhappiness.

I've just been looking back through the thread to see if this had been fixed at all as I just started using this library today, nice to see you're on quick with the bug spray heh

Keep up the good work!

If I have an object layer from Tiled and want objects in that layer to toggle visibility, how can I make it do so on the map itself? I'm making a Wizardry-style dungeon crawler and want my map/mini-map to update with changes. For example, I'd like door indicators to disappear when doors are opened, and trap indicators to appear when traps are detected or sprung. I could populate the map with these objects in the game code itself but it's nice to be able to place them with Tiled.

I can grab objects and change visible = true or false just fine and internally the game recognizes when visibility is changed, it just doesn't alter the way the object is displayed in the layer.

STI now supports offsetting your map so that you can have multiple maps on screen!

Object layers are honestly not really meant to be drawn. They allow you to position simple geometric shapes in Tiled that can then be turned into actual objects in game. Basically place holders. What I recommend doing is creating a Custom Layer and then create new objects within it using the data from the Object Layer, and give each new object its own visible flag and draw function.

Figured as much, thank you!

Hi karai

Your sample tech demo love file is borked.

It says zlib and gzip compression require love .10.0+
Please set your tile layer format to base64 or csv.

I am a 0.92 pleb.
