itch.io

It gave me an error screen, stating that there was an error importing

It didn’t say what error? It would be nice if you could provide me with your image file, so I might try to reproduce. For better visibility, consider opening bug reports at https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/issues, thanks!

Windows + Linux Builds included

Unfortunately, the itch.io app is not aware of this and refuses to install this on Linux with the message “No compatible downloads were found”.

Since Tiled 1.5, the “Wang Tool” has been merged into the “Terrain Brush”. Whatever reference you found to the “Wang Tool” is probably a little dated, but should apply almost 1:1 to the terrains feature in latest Tiled.

If you do still want to use an older version, you can download old releases from https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/releases.

I’m not actually using custom CSS on this page. The different like buttons are an option in “Edit tool (or game) > More > Edit comments”, choose “Up only”. :-)

serious usability issues.

Did you read https://doc.mapeditor.org/en/latest/manual/export-yy/?

Unfortunately the initial Tiled 1.11.1 release for macOS failed to ship with the new Aseprite image format plugin. Hence there is now a Tiled 1.11.1.1 for macOS, which does ship with the plugin!

Hmm, the last version to work on Windows XP should be Tiled 1.8.6, but if you need to you can also go back to Tiled 0.8.1. :-)

Yes, you can find all releases at https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/releases . Please do report that issue though, providing as much detail as possible. Tiled 1.11 should definitely work on M1, though I can’t test this myself.

Thank you for pointing that out! So you are saying that this broke in Tiled 1.11.0 compared to 1.10.2? And what is your operating system? In case of Windows, did you take the Windows 7-8 build or the Windows 10+ one?

Sorry for not getting back sooner. Unfortunately, this information does not help in finding out the cause of the crash. I can suggest to try the latest Tiled 1.11 release, and if it is still crashing, to ask for help on Discord so we can try to narrow it down.

Can you provide any additional information about the circumstances? Did it always crash? Does it consistently crash? Anything that can help narrow the issue down.

You’re right, there really should be an isometric example, and thank you for providing one! Those isometric building blocks look great!

I don’t think we need to pretend like it never happened, but feel free to edit your posts as appropriate. Even if Tiled isn’t writing those files, and even if it does not look malicious, it is still worth reporting.

Hmm, while Tiled is mentioned in those files, they seem to be actually created by the itch.io app or some version of it. For whatever reason, it appears to be generating random target locations and then prints logs regarding the installation of Tiled. It seems to be like something in the itch.io app is malfunctioning, which you might want to consider reporting on their bug tracker: https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues (be sure to provide as many details as you did here).

Hmm, that’s worrying. However, it would be nice to know some details:

• Why do you think Tiled is creating these folders?
• Where did you download Tiled?
• What are these folders named and what kind of files are created?
• Since when is this problem occurring and did you try de-installing Tiled? Did that help?

If it is really the Tiled executable, it was probably infected after being installed. So far, there have only been false positives and no actual reports of Tiled doing something malicious. The executable is built in a clean environment and Windows builds are signed by the SignPath Foundation.

Alright, the tileset image getting cropped would mess up your map since the cropping affected the indexes of most of the tiles. In addition there appears to have been a change in the tile size used by the tileset, causing all your tile rects to be misaligned.

The easiest way to restore the map should be to revert to a non-broken tileset image.

It is however impossible for Tiled to mess up your image like that, since it does not write to tileset images, ever. I’m sorry if you lost your work on the tileset, but the image must have gotten messed up some other way. Keeping backups is a good idea, regardless.

After I submitted the file, G DATA responded that the file should no longer get blocked. Can you verify this, theapplesguy2?

Alright, I’ve used https://www.gdatasoftware.com/faq/consumer/submit-a-suspicious-file-app-or-url to submit the 64-bit installer as being “incorrectly classified as malicious”. I could not answer which OS version, browser version or G DATA version you were using. We’ll see what comes out of it.

If it helps avoid the issue, you can download a .zip file rather than an installer at https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/actions/workflows/packages.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+event%3Apush if you’re logged in to GitHub, click a recent build and scroll down to “Artifacts”.

Usually the installer is more trusted by the system though, since it is code-signed. The best solution is probably to report the installer as safe to your anti-virus solution.

If you want to help teach your anti-virus solution to not report the installer as malware, please tell us which anti-virus solution you’re using.

If an application crashes on macOS, usually a crash dialog pops up with a lot of debug information, including a stack trace. If this happens, it would be very helpful if you could open an issue on GitHub, including the information from that dialog.

The version uploaded to itch.io matches the “Tiled-1.10.2_macOS-11+.zip” version on GitHub. Are you comparing it to the “Tiled-1.10.2_macOS-10.12-10.15.zip” build? Otherwise I can’t explain why one would work while the other doesn’t.

“Universal macOS Binary” is intentional in an attempt to ensure an optimal experience for both Intel and Arm64 users. Crashes aside…

Hmm, the tileset Orientation setting, either “Orthogonal” or “Isometric”, is only used to apply the expected transformation to collision objects and terrain overlays, when they are rendered on top of the tiles in the tileset view. A “Hexagonal” orientation option does not exist for tilesets, only for maps. Hence, I am not entirely sure what problem you ran into. Could you report this issue on GitHub or Discord, and provide more details, possibly screenshots?

There is a Tiled compatible map editor called NotTiled which you may want to give a try. It’s open source as well.

Usually you just attack them, they will shake when hit. When they do shake but never fall, then you have unfortunately run into the “invincible enemy” bug that sometimes happens. In this case, try to find one that does get destroyed.

Please also see my most recent comment on the issue I linked. There are now universal builds available on GitHub actions for macOS 10.14 and newer, and I would kindly ask those who experience freezing to try if those builds work better.

There have been multiple reports of Tiled freezing on Apple silicon. I’m hoping maybe building natively for arm64 might resolve that issue, but the build isn’t fixed yet. You can track issue https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/issues/3707 regarding this. Unfortunately, I have personally no M1 or M2 hardware to test with.

Is there no message displayed at all? What is your operating system?

Yes, it is also possible to make pictures using the Tiled scripting API, by creating and saving an Image.

This particular custom text format is not supported out of the box, but you could write a JavaScript extension that adds such a format using tiled.registerMapFormat.

Regarding using the same graphics in multiple colors, this is currently only possible by using multiple layers, since each layer can have a custom tint color.

Drag and drop was broken in GNOME 44 for Qt applications, but it seems a fix has been done and should hopefully be available soon. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2715 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2013235 for relevant bug reports.

In the meantime, you could place templates using the “Insert Template” tool instead. :-)

What thinks the Tiled setup or exe is a virus, and what exactly does it say?

What is “it”? In any case, this is likely to be a false positive, since the builds are being made in a clean environment on AppVeyor and then signed by SignPath before being uploaded to itch.io (assuming you’re talking about the Windows installer).

I think that problem might be happening because of an issue with the installer when overwriting a 64-bit version with a 32-bit version. Please try explicitly uninstalling Tiled before installing it again, which I think should resolve the problem.

Since I’ve updated the main builds of Tiled to Qt 6, they now require at least Windows 10 and 64-bit. For compatibility I’ve kept the 32-bit build on Qt 5. There should generally not be any issue with running the 32-bit version on 64-bit Windows.

Maybe you could open an issue about your problem at https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/issues? This comments section isn’t really suitable for long threads.

What is “the project tab thing”? It’s strange, because as per the TMX changelog, the only changes to the map format have been the addition of two attributes and a custom property type, all of which should only affect the file when used. Maybe the game is checking the version? Did you check the files for any other difference?

Hmm, it’s hard to tell what could have gone wrong there. Could you open a GitHub issue about this with more details? Some screenshots might help me understand the problem better as well (or get in touch on Discord if you don’t want to share this in public).

Please see the warning on the page about the GameMaker Studio 2 export, which notes that you’ll need to overwrite an existing room file for now. I’m not currently aware of a way to improve this process, but if you know how to solve this problem then please open an issue on GitHub with more details so we can work on that, thanks!

Yes, though at the moment they’re not so easy to find. You need to be logged in to GitHub and visit the list of Tiled builds here, click on the latest successful one, scroll down to Artifacts and download the “Tiled-win64” package for a zip file.
