Multiple problems with CCTMXTiledMap

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, guys.
I found the following issues with CCTMXTiledMap. I run it on Android Emulator 
2.2, as well as 1.6.
The screenshots of the invalid displaying of the tiled map is in appropriate 
attachements. I also include sample project for your convenience.

Waiting for your comments.

I have the same issues here, 
also when you do a TintBy() or setColor() on the object in the layer above the 
tiledLayer, then some tiles will have the same TintBy/setColor behaviour as the 
object above the layer.

I'm also experiencing problems with CCTMXTiledMap, even just with the default 
.tmx files supplied with cocos2d.  I've downloaded the latest revision from 
github as of March 4th 2011, jar-ed up the source, and created a brand new 
project (with a copy of the assets from the original in the assets folder), and 
a very stripped down main activity, attempting to load a .tmx into a layer.

I've attached the exported project.  

As you can see, no tile map appears at all.  I've tried substituting a few 
other tile maps but they don't work either.  The ones that do work only display 
a single tile, similar to test2.png above.  

Furthermore, I'm trying to create tilemaps with Tiled, but ones I generate from 
scratch appear to kill cocos at runtime with an endless series of recursive 
NullPointerExceptions (this is not included in the current upload).

tony, the problem yo face with tiles from tiled may be caused by the default 
encoding of the maps generated with tiled. you should change them to base64 
with gzip compression (that worked for me). but even if they did not crash, i 
face the same problems as others with tiled maps.

Hi.. I'm still not able to display the TMX Map. I checked the Tiled Map Editor 
encoding, and it was set to Base 64 GZipped compression. All I get is a blank 
screen with the FPS. Nothing else.

Thanks for the help in advance,
Abhimanyu

Hi Abhimanyu,

I've changed the Tiled Map Editor encoding to Base 64 GZipped compression and 
it works for me but the result displayed was the same of first post.

Hello,

I had the same issue and after analyzing it found (at least) a workaround (at 
least for me). I wrote the following class:

public class TCCTMXLayer extends CCNode {
    private CCTMXLayer layer;

    public TCCTMXLayer(CCTMXLayer layer) {
        this.layer = layer;
    }

    @Override
    public void draw(GL10 gl) {
        gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
        layer.draw(gl);
        gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
    }
}

, and used it to add tiled layers and sprite sheet with sprite to a layer:

        CCParallaxNode pn = CCParallaxNode.node();
        pn.addChild(new TCCTMXLayer(map.layerNamed("back1")) , -2, 1, 1, 0, 0);
        pn.addChild(new TCCTMXLayer(map.layerNamed("mountain")), -1, 0.7f, 0.7f, -18, -18);
        pn.addChild(new TCCTMXLayer(map.layerNamed("main")), 1, 1, 1, 0, 0);
        pn.addChild(aSheet,2, 1, 1, 0, 0);

                addChild(pn);

At least for me the problem was fixed after this workaround.

I'm really new to cocos2d (and graphic engine in general), so don't blame me 
hard if I wrote something stupid =] .

Hello Weikuan,

   I found probably better, more logical, way to fix the issue in CCTextureAtlas draw method:

        if (withColorArray_) {
            gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
            gl.glColorPointer(4, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, colors.bytes);
        }
        else
            // Disable color buffer if it hasn't been initialized
            gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);

Best Regards, Petr Boklashov.

Yes, you'r right, it needs to be enabled after the draw.

Hi Weikuan,

Can you please confirm that the code for rendering TMX files properly has been 
tested and integrated into the Github repository.

Thanks,
Abhimanyu
