Problem with tilemaps

by Andre Prior · in TGB Platformer Kit · 04/02/2008 (10:03 am) · 11 replies

Hi, I loaded the demogame and recognize the same problem like in the demo download version.

When I move I see small lines between the tiles. They are not looking seemless.
I try to make a picture and post it later.

Anybody else having this problem?


Thanks!

Strange I don't have that at all. could be a video driver/directx thing. i'm using XP with an ATI 3850.

Andre, I'm not convinced that it is an issue with the kit itself. Try creating a tilemap using other textures and see if you get the same issue.

In the demo does the same issue persist if you change between OpenGL and DX?

How can I change between openGL or DX?

In TGB you can open up the preferences panel and change the settings in there.

Do you have anything like AA, mip-mapping, etc. FORCED in your video control panel?

Come to think of it, when I'd force it I'd get problems sometimes with games that repeat things on a grid (because the textures are divided up & it messes with the edges).

If you do, turn it all to auto.

setting filterpad to 1 for the imageMap solves the problem...

I always had that problem if I tried to place two tilemaps next to each other, but if it was one big one never had the problem.
