Changes to terrain are not being saved (4.3) #92

First of all let me thank you for this amazing plugin. It's such a massive improvement over the default implementation that I think they should just replace it with yours :)

That said, there seems to be a bit of an issue when it comes to saving the terrain data. I'm using the tile-map-layer branch with Godot 4.3.beta2 and the new TileMapLayer node. Went ahead and set up a few dozen terrains yesterday, but after opening the project again today most of them seem to be gone, which, needless to say, was a bit of a bummer.

After digging around a bit, it does seem indeed that Godot seems pretty reluctant to save any changes made to the terrains to the tileset file when pressing CTRL+S. Usually requires changing some other settings in the tileset (like margins or something) to get it to do so.

I've noticed that as well in 4.3 and I'm not sure if it's an issue of Godot or the plugin. For now the TileSet itself has a Save option in the menu which works reliably.

Hi, yes, this is a Godot bug or quirk. I've not been able to narrow down the cause, but it's something to do with setting metadata on a TileData object in a resource. Sometimes it marks it as a change that can be saved, other times it does not.
