New Tileset based on hexagonal tileset image #1563

Open taltened opened 7 years ago

taltened commented 7 years ago

I have hexagonal tileset images that look like this: screenshot 2017-05-07 13 18 18

Tiled can import an image file to create a tileset, but it can only interpret the image as an orthogonal tileset. Please add support for dividing the imported image into hexagonal tiles. Incomplete hexes around the edges can be ignored.

The "New Tileset" dialog would also need fields for specifying the extra parameters for hexagonal tilesets, like stagger axis and stagger index.

This would certainly be a nice feature and one that I had been thinking about already in the context of isometric tiles (see also this forum topic). Of course, it should probably not only affect the way the tiles are cut out but also the way they are displayed in the Tilesets view.

Asked for another time for isometric tiles on the forum.
