Map00(tile editor) - binary + source

[Nybble]

Hello guys, I am releasing my "tile map editor", it is very simple right now but it gets the job done .

Features:

• Load .nyb configuration files
• Loads textures only once.
• scrolling camera with Left/Right  Up/down buttons
• right mouse button deletes tiles
• left mouse button creates current selected tile

Notes:

• the .nyb file contains the map name, map Width/Height, the tile size, map file and map texture. the files MUST be in the same directory for it to properly load them.
• It uses a texture cache class to load textures, this prevents re-loading the same image more than once
• My current camera class is much better than the one in this project and has the ability to lock on to targets, this can be easily implemented here.

How to use:

1. You can either generate a map by creating a new mapEdit object like this:

Code: [Select]

Ccamera mapCam(640, 480);
mapEdit oMap("My map", 40, 40, 32, "tileSet.png",  mapCam); Or like this :

Code: [Select]

Ccamera mapCam(640, 480);
mapEdit oMap(mapCam);

oMap.generate("My map", 40, 40, 32, "tileSet.png",  mapCam);

First is map name, then map width, map height, tilesize, tileset texture (PATH) and camera object,
after that you can edit your newly created map and save it.

To load a map is rather  easy this is how :

Code: [Select]

Ccamera mapCam(640, 480);
CmapEdit oMap(mapCam);
oMap.loadConfig("map00/map00.nyb");

and the map will be loaded using the loadConfig(std::string& _mapConfig); function, you can also load it at anytime using this function instead.

2. There are a couple of stuff I need to fix specially some of the mapEdit functions, I will fix them and update you guys.

Controls:

1. Scrolling : Left/Right, Up/Down   ( scrolls through the map ).
2. Placing tiles: mouse left click.
3. Deleting tiles: right mouse click.
4. changing tiles: A/S - A to move forward on the tile sheet and S to move backwards.
5. Save map: just press the X button on your keyboard.

Things to come:

• Map clearing: a single press of a button and clear out the whole map
• map generation/loading input: I'm going to implement a better way to load and create map files by input rather then having to manually edit the code

Please leave comments/criticism/feedback if you want.

You can use this however you please, but don't claim as your own  , I encourage to expand on it too and share!!
