Function equivalent to console_map_ascii_code_to_font in new API

[Darky-Lucera]

I'm trying to modernize my roguelike game to use new API, like contexts, tilesets, etc. But I have had a problem trying to redefine unicode values.

For instance, where I was doing: tcod.console_map_ascii_code_to_font(ord('Ñ'), 26, 3)

now I'm trying to do: tileset.remap(ord('Ñ'), 26, 3)

but I'm getting the error:

libtcod 1.16.0-alpha.11 libtcod/src/libtcod/tileset.c:187 Tile_ID is out of bounds.

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?

I was using it also to define ids for my sprites. For example: tileset.remap(300, 0, 5) # Hero 300 is an unicode value that I know that I don't want to use: Ĭ

Note: For loading the tileset I'm using tcod.tileset.load_tilesheet(...) and in the old code I was using tcod.console_set_custom_font(...)

Thanks in advance!

I checked the error. It looks like the tile you're trying to assign is out-of-bounds. It might be useful show the parameters given to tcod.tileset.load_tilesheet.

I'm pretty sure they are 'out of bounds' (of a vector/array) because the texture is 320x80 pixels (32x8 tiles), and the unicode values are > 256.

I want to remap Unicode values for some glyphs that I want to use for message internationalization: tileset.remap(ord('Ñ'), 26, 3) Tile x=26, y=3 is inside the texture.

My thought is that libtcod (C) is using some kind of map<codepoint , position> being codepoint = unicode value and position = x + y*columns, so we can use whatever value as codepoint while the position tile is inside the texture.

Is there another way to render python strings with glyphs like: Ñ, Ç, Á, È, Ψ, ж, ... ("España") like we were able to do with the old API?

Here are the initialization values (old and new):

tcod.console_set_custom_font('arial10x10.png', tcod.FONT_TYPE_GREYSCALE | tcod.FONT_LAYOUT_TCOD)

tileset = tcod.tileset.load_tilesheet('arial10x10.png', 32, 8, tcod.tileset.CHARMAP_TCOD)

It worked fine with the old API.

I was able to recreate the error. The codepoint and the tile index got swapped when remap called the C function. I'll release a fix now.

Version 11.15.3 is deploying now. It also has a better error message when things go wrong.

Nice!

I'm a python newcomer (only some AI stuff and now your fantastic roguelike tutorial). When will it be available from PIP? Does it needs some kind of approval?

BTW, I really enjoyed the revised tutorial (I didn't want to wait some weeks to have all chapters, so I did the old version). And now revisiting the new tutorial I have realized about the new API and the new features of Python 3.7+. For this reason I wanted to modernize my roguelike source code.

It takes about an hour after a tagged release. You can see the Windows deployment here and the MacOS deployment here.

It's quite fast
