Problem using excalibur-tiled with Parcel

[Andre Dantas]

Hello friends,

I've just started using Excalibur and I'm finding it an awesome engine, but I've had some problems adding my tiled map into my game.

When importing my json file like this: import mapJson from '../assets/data/maps/map.json'; I get an object, instead of a path that I can use to instanciate TiledResource.

The same issue ocurred when using the example-ts-webpack boilerplate.

After a while, I decided to reimplement the getTileMap method from the plugin directly in my game, but the game fails to load when I add the tilemap into the scene. I think I get an infinite loop somewhere because Firefox hangs.

Does anyone knows what might be happening?

Thanks.

Cheers.

Andre D.

Hi Andre,

Tiled maps should be used as game resources, not necessarily as imported JSON (though that might be nice in the future).

So basically you can use ex.Tiled.Resource or whatever the sample shows to load via relative path (pass to Loader) and it'll create the data structure and TileMap for you.

Makes sense, but I'm wondering if there's something else wrong.

Even when importing as a path, or reimplementing the getTileMap function for the object, I get the same tile map object, with the same TileSprites in them.

But on both occasions the loading screen hangs when I add these tile maps to the scene.

I'm starting to think there is a problem when excalibur tries to draw the tile map. I'll try to go thru the draw method and see where it's breaking.

I have the same problem I can load the tiled map alone but for the exemple if I add an actor the page freeze, it's look like a infinite loop

Thanks for posting Gregoire, this does not seem right, can you post an issue with reproduction steps https://github.com/excaliburjs/Excalibur/issues

I've been running into this issue and decided to minimize the amount of code needed to make the crash happen. Bug report filed at https://github.com/excaliburjs/Excalibur/issues/1418

Oh yeah, just a quick FYI, but this has been resolved a little while back. :)
