How to avoid that black spaces? To full windows with my tiles?

[MasterShizzle]

All right, I'm having a devil of a time trying to get my maps to display correctly with this.

It worked fine for a while, but now it's displaying maps that are all kinds of messed up. I don't know if it was the update to 0.10.0 that did it, or what... Basically, I've got a simple single-layer map from Tiled that I want to display, but nothing is where it's supposed to be and the map actually seems to be wrapping and repeating itself in places. The bottom, top, and left sides never display, and the tiles that show in the middle are in a different order.

What am I missing here? I imagine there's something simple that I'm not doing or need to do, but it escapes me. I've been pecking at this on and off for a couple weeks now, and nothing seems to work. Check out the attached .love, and then open up the "map01.tmx" in Tiled and you'll see what I mean.

It's hard to tell without a .love but it looks like the draw range isn't being set correctly. Try adding in this line before you draw the map:

Code: Select all

map:setDrawRange(-math.huge, -math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)

If that fixes it then it's a draw range issue.

That's really strange. I'll take a look at it and let you know if I figure something out.

-- EDIT --

Okay I've fixed the issue and uploaded a new version of ATL. Let me know if you have any more problems.

Works like a charm now, thanks for the quick fix. And my other issue with the draw range (same as Krizzu's) is now solved.

Two trouble-shoots in one post! You are a wizard, sir.

And what about case, when I got map 1280x960 (maden in tiled) and my window is only 800x600?

When I put it and set draw range (0,0,1280,960) all map is squeezed in that 800x600.

How to avoid it?

I'm not sure if I understand. Are you saying that the map is resized in the game? ATL doesn't do any resizing. The draw range is just the portion of the map to draw. Can you upload a .love?

[Krizzu]

Sure,

[Kadoba]

It looks like you're having the same problem Shizzle was having. The latest version fixes that.

So I didn't had latest version of ATL?
Thanks anyway

Another small update. Relative paths from .tmx files to tileset images now work completely. Traveling backwards in directories (/../) does not work natively so I had to resort to some gsub sorcery. Now you should be able to require the library, load the maps, and store the tileset images anywhere you want.
