To Tile map or not to tile map

by John Bura · in Torque X 2D · 10/18/2010 (2:43 pm) · 2 replies

As I read the forums I find that people have some issues with the tile map feature in TBX. Im using the tile map feature a lot. Will this cause problems for me later on? For example is the a size limit to the tilemaps?

Any experiences with the tilemap feature will be a great help.

BTW I haven't found any issues yet. But I don't want to make my game and then have a tilemap issue delay the release. :)

Tilemaps are awesome in TX. Take a look at those really huge PSK levels, tons of tilemaps everywhere, and it looks awesome.

Tilemaps have issues when you are using tile sets. That is, a single image with many tiles. If you separate your tiles into individual images, it works a lot better. If you use a single tileset image, expect to get tearing effects when your camera moves or zooms.
