rule¶

Soft Override:: Unknown
No comma:: True

A rule block defines a conversion rule for the BMP to TMX conversion process in the mapping tools. It is used to associate a color on the BMP for the vegetation or main image to a list of tiles to apply on a specific layer in the TMX.

For example:

rule
{
  label = Sand
  bitmap = 0
  color = 210 200 160
  tiles = sand
  layer = 0_Floor
}

ID¶

This block should have no ID.

Parameters¶

bitmap

Type:: integer

A value of 1 will have this rule used for the vegetation image, while a value of 0 will have it used for the main tiles image. Trees will for example use 1 while ground tiles will use 0.

color

Type:: array (array of integer, separator: ‘ ‘)

The RGB color to replace with the tiles in the tiles parameter. This is the color you painted in your image file to associate to this rule.

label

Type:: string

No description provided.

layer

Type:: string

The layer to apply the tiles on.

tiles

Type:: Unknown

A list of tiles to apply randomly for this color. You can also use an alias block here to reference a list of tiles.

For example:

tiles = vegetation_farm_01_35

tiles = [
    vegetation_farm_01_32
    vegetation_farm_01_33
    vegetation_farm_01_34
    vegetation_farm_01_35
    vegetation_farm_01_36
    vegetation_farm_01_37
    vegetation_farm_01_38
    vegetation_farm_01_39
]

Or with one or more alias blocks:

alias
{
    name = treez1
    tiles = [
        vegetation_trees_01_13
        vegetation_trees_01_14
        vegetation_trees_01_15
        vegetation_trees_01_8
        vegetation_trees_01_9
        vegetation_trees_01_10
        vegetation_trees_01_11
        vegetation_trees_01_17
    ]
}

tiles = [
  treez1
]
