Re: Simple Tiled Implementation - STI v0.6.9

Post by Karai17 »

I'm glad you're finding my library useful! I'm using an early January build of Tiled, but animated tiled were recently added (January 23rd) so I think I'll be installing that one today. :)

I also just pushed a new release (0.6.10) of STI that dramatically improved the load time for maps. Check out the latest benchmarks!

What are the four lines before it? It's likely to be a problem with your code, rather than with STI.

2: x, y = 400, 300 3: playerA = nil 4: require = "data"  5: local sti = require "sti"

You've overwritten the require function by setting it to "data". Use a different variable name.

The problem lies in the fourth line: require = "data" makes the global variable "require" point to the string "data", in fact preventing you from accessing the require[d, ha ha pun] function. Remove that line, or assign the string to another variable

Thanks, but now how do i create the map .lua file, do i just change the the .tmx file to .lua or do i need to do it differently? Are there any Tutorials online? Thanks for everything.

Thanks for checking out my library! If you click File, then Export, you can export your TMX to a Lua file. Alternatively, ctrl+E will also bring up the Export menu.

Draw order is important. If you are drawing your player before you are drawing the map, then the map will be on top. I've included the ability to place objects such as your player within the map itself, giving it a proper draw order. Check out the Callbacks section of the documentation for an example.

If you're referring to "solid" as in a collidable tile where the player cannot move, you can create a Collision Map with STI, but you need to write your own collision code to work with that map.
