Just to add to the subject: I played a little bit with Tile Studio[1]. The output can be (sort of) scripted and I started doing a script for generating cocos2d tiles. I've done tileset exporting very easily, but then I got stuck trying to do the map exporting. Short after that came the end of semester with lots of homeworks and exams, so I left it aside.
Anyway, Tile Studio have a lot of nice features. I would say it is the second best map editing tool I've used, the first being the map editor from RPG Maker 2000 that was very intuitive and easy to use (but can't be used for anything besides RPG Maker). Still, Tile Studio lacks a lot of essential features like undo on some parts of your editing so it's to easy to screw up your map if you're not extra careful and it's windows only, but I'm pretty sure I managed to ran it on wine a while ago (but I've not used enough to know it it's stable). Also, even being an open source project, it's built on Delphi and that makes it very difficult to me (and probably anyone) to contribute. Anyway, I plan to share my Tile Studio script for generating cocos2 tile maps if I manage to get it done. Even with a lots of flaws It wouldn't hurt having another option for a tool. Also, If anyone is interested in building a nice tile editor, I would say that a real gui (gtk, wx, qt or at least tk) could help a lot on making it more usable (at the expense of being less portable, with the exception of tk). I've started to build one with wxPython, but gui code is such a pain to code that I rarely have patience to work on it. Maybe it would help to have more people involved on a project like this. Anyone interested? I'm not stuck with wxPython (actually, I'm very angry with it lately :-) ), so anyone willing to suggest alternatives, please do. -- Kao Cardoso Félix Página pessoal: http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~kcfelix Blog: http://kaofelix.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cocos2d discuss" group.
