TileStudio for Lazarus

[Ñuño Martínez]

I almost forgot this project.

See. It's able to import tilesets:

As you see, the import dialog is simpler than TileStudio's one. Also it uses Allegro.pas internally. This limits it a bit but I'm used to the API. Once everything works I see how to use a better graphics lib (i.e. Vampyre).

I'm having some issues with the PaintBoxes. When I change the width/height of tiles, the tile sample is re-rendered over the actual sample tile. Don't know why.

Map edition is done. It doesn't edit everything I planned but does basic edition.

The small black squares are a bug. I'm using next code to draw "void" tiles:

WITH ImageMap.Canvas DO
BEGIN
  Brush.Color := clInactiveCaption;
  Brush.Style := bsSolid;
  Rectangle (TX , TY, TX + TW, TY + TH);
  Pixels[TX, TY] := clBlack;
  Pixels[TX + TW - 1, TY + TH - 1] := clWhite;
END;

It should draw a gray square and two points, but it draws a gray square with black border. Don't know why.

[edit] Fixed. I forgot the "Pen" property.

Try and set the pen.style to psClear;

I've edited the message while you wrote your answer.

Yes, the problem was that I forgot the "Pen" property. Thanks.

Last weekend I did fixed some bugs, added some brushes and added save and load map files in internal default format (not customizable yet). When I finished the user manual I decided that I don't like the way I planned to manage map layers and that the way that TileStudio manages map layers is much better, so I didn't released it yet because the internal file format is obsolete before to be released.

So, next milestone is to re-define that internal file format. Once I implement it I'll release version 0.1, just to allow you to test it and tell me what do you think about it.

Just to say that the new internal file format isn't working, that's why I didn't released yet. I don't know whay I'm doing wrong. I still working on it.

I've fixed the file format issue (I forgot to write the "end" of the tileset name, so it didn't find it when loading ). I did also some "invisible" stuff.

I was planned to release it as "version 0.1" but I think I will not until I add all stuff I planned (multilayer and "file format description language") or until somebody ask for it.
