I just purchased TGB last night and I realized this morning that the tile map builder wont show up.

in the project menu the Tile Map builder doesn't appear. instead it says refresh object library and reload textures.

i tried both options and nothing appeared to happen. what can i do to make the Tile Map builder appear????
plz help

thx

First you have to put a blank tile map from the create menu out onto the level builder. When you hover over it with your mouse a bunch of edit options appear. One of them you click to edit the map.

There's a .pdf file under documentation\tutorials\feature tutorials that covers all you need to know about tile maps.

Is there a way to make the area i can paint in on the blank tile map i insert bigger? i tried changing the size by dragging the corners and by altering the scene object properties but i can only draw in a tiny area and the tiles look super small.
???
