isometric tileset maker

[Otto Fung]

Hi All,

I made a tool that takes a png image and cuts them into isometric tile. The output is customizable (tile size, number of tiles per tileset image, etc). Not sure if such tool already exists out there. I can contribute it if someone is interested.

Cheers.

That would be great, Otto. Nice idea!

A sample that shows the original image (B070.png) is being cutted into isometric tileset (B070-0.png) with the corresponding tmx (B070.tmx). The corresponding tmx is for putting the tiles back to resemble the original image. Note that the all-transparent tiles are automatically removed from the tileset.

Another sample showing cutting a grass terrain image into isometric tiles. The generated tmx is for resembling the original image. One can ignore the generated tmx and just used the output tileset png for map making of course.

The code of the tool is written in C and compiles/runs on Linux. Shall I contribute the tool to this discussion group or how do I contribute to the Tiled project?

Awesome! Is there any chance it can do standard tiles as well? :)

[metalboyblue]

I would love to have access to that.  I am working with some artists right now and I am not sure how easy this is to do with their tools.  For me though, I would love it.

Can you put it up on github? I would love to try it out and help improve it. Or if you don't mind emailing the code or posting somewhere public? Also, I'd look at porting to OSX.

[Otto Fung]

Ok, thanks for the support. I will post it somewhere and let this group know..

It only does isometric now. I was thinking cutting up standard tiles shall be relatively easy (to do manually), or maybe not?

[Petr Viktorin]

Yes, it's quite easy. Add the image as a tileset, select all of it
(drag from one corner of the tileset to the other), and put it on the
map.

Except that this won't remove duplicates / empty tiles. :-)

Hi Otto, 

Is there a chance you could share the link to the tool you made?

It looks awesome and I was looking for a program like that for a long time. 

Thanks in advance!

[Alejandro No c]

:D this sound amazing, but theres a link to download???

[Robin Eklind]

Really nice work! I would also like to view the source code when you decide to publish it. You could try Github, Google Code or BitBucket.
