tiled map editor export for cpc.

[arnoldemu]

Here is a python script that can export the data from a tmx file. At this time it outputs the width, height and tile indices:

extract.py:

Code Select Expand


#!/usr/bin/python

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import sys
import zlib
import base64

print sys.argv[1] + "->" + sys.argv[2]
tree = ET.parse(sys.argv[1])
root = tree.getroot()
width = root.attrib["width"]
height = root.attrib["height"]
fh = open(sys.argv[2],'wb')
fh.write(";;----\n")
fh.write("defb "+width+" ;; width\n")
fh.write("defb "+height+" ;; height\n")
layerindex = 0
for layer in root.iter('layer'):
    dataindex = 0
    for data in layer.iter('data'):
        datab64 = data.text
        datazlib = base64.b64decode(datab64)
        uncompressed = zlib.decompress(datazlib)
        uncompresseddatabytes = bytearray(uncompressed)
        uncompressedintlength = len(uncompresseddatabytes)/4
        c = 0
        for i in range(0,uncompressedintlength):
            offs = i*4
            v1 = uncompresseddatabytes[offs+0]
            v2 = uncompresseddatabytes[offs+1]
            v3 = uncompresseddatabytes[offs+2]
            v4 = uncompresseddatabytes[offs+3]
            value = v1 + (v2<<8) + (v3<<16) + (v4<<24)
            if c==0:
                fh.write("defb ")
            else:
                fh.write(",")
            fh.write(str(value))
            c = c + 1
            if c>=16:
                c = 0
                fh.write("\n")
fh.write(";;----")
fh.close()


Usage:

python extract.py level.tmx level.asm

output file looks like this:

Excellent work!

"Tiled" to anyone who doesn't know, is a very good program for tile creation and is very easy to use. The most important thing for me using this tile editor to piece the backgrounds is that it is quick to assemble them with this program.
I was trying to use TileStudio but couldn't get the onion skin to work, as well as  the tiles at the bottom were tiny and I just had no idea how to zoom into them.

And "Tiled" (The Java version) is embedded into JavaCPC's Desktop

[sigh]

That layout looks quite similar to Tile Studio with the tile map at the bottom.

Have to say - I'm having a much more fun time using Tiled than Dame.

Personally I love Promotion. For the CPC Bros game it was a really great help. Specially when dealing with the CPC palette.

[sigh]

I have Promotion but haven't used it. I've been using Paint Shop Pro for my projects, but Promotion is something I really need to start using.
Do you think you'll give the Snow Bros another try?

[pacomix]

The CPC Bros game is something still pendant. The problem is that I have no time. As you can also see I didn't finish updating the user interface of the DSK-Tool with a better font and so...

[redbox]

Here is a python script that can export the data from a tmx file. At this time it outputs the width, height and tile indices:

This is great work, especially will have some Tiled output files to import into the CPC in the near future 

Thanks for sharing.
