Support interoperability with Tiled #180

Open ftomassetti opened 8 years ago

ftomassetti commented 8 years ago

Tiled is a well-known map editor (mapeditor.org). I think it would be great to have WorldEngine to be interopable with Tiled so that users can manually refine their generate worlds.

To do so we should:

The format which is best to support is TMX and we can use a python library for that: http://pytmxlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Nice!

I can see this as being useful for game development. :)

ftomassetti commented 8 years ago

Indeed: the format is used by so many libraries for all sort of languages so many games would be able to use our maps out of the box. In addition to that users get an editor to customize the map we generate. For example they could add cities and change the shape of a forest or add their own touch to the generated world.

I really think we should push on interoperability and finding tools and scenarios which can leverage WorldEngine.

Is this issue dead? I would love to see it completed.

psi29a commented 6 years ago

Me too! :)

ftomassetti commented 6 years ago

This issue was implemented, but it was not published, I should dig that old code... it would help if someone volunteer to help me polishing :)

Asday commented 6 years ago

If you have time to mentor me over the weekend, I can. I'm a lowly web developer by trade, though, so I may be a little slow to start.

ftomassetti commented 6 years ago

I would be happy to, you can reach me at any time at federico at tomassetti.me or in this issue

DblK commented 2 years ago

Is there any news about it?

ftomassetti commented 2 years ago

No, I created a prototype but then stopped working on it years ago

DblK commented 2 years ago

Thank, then I will do it ;). Not familiar with Python, so I will do the exporter in another language! Anyway, thanks for you work, it will save me a lot of time to generate a plausible map for my game

ftomassetti commented 2 years ago

Happy you find it useful!

DblK commented 2 years ago

Regarding the exporter, I do have question about the generated world. Ocean have boolean, but plates, water have numbers from 0 to 1 and elevation have integer from 0 to 12 (??). I can not find in the doc any explanations. Can you point me somewhere so I can understand which array I should take into account to generate the map. Any clues will be appreciated ^^

I am sorry but I have not touched the project in years, so I am afraid I cannot help. The project is unmaintained
