Tiling Issue - But not caused by lazy terrain tiles

Daz · Energy Commando **Joined**: 26 Apr 2003

I'm having a problem with maps I've made.

They always seem to end up tiling identical tiles over all terrain of that type.

This is a screenshot from Tsunami (an official map).

This is a screenshot from one of my maps (ignore the colour, that's lighting).

As you can see, the terrain isn't the problem. It's the map.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

The IsoMapPack5 doesn't hold information about which tile variation is used (i.e. it only saves "clear01", not "clear01b" etc), so the map is not the problem.

The game randomizes the tiles on startup I believe...
So the only reason I see is that it cannot find any tile variations to use.

Assuming that tile is called "clear01", be sure your variations are called like this:
clear01
clear01a
clear01b
...

They are, the tiles are fine.
That's why there is variation in the official map, but for whatever reason there is no variation in any map I have made.

It's odd that if the game randomises on startup that this problem has been there for at least a month consistently.

Did you add a new tile-set or replace an existing one? If you added one, variations might fail without proper tags. Check out the clear entry for any special variation tags.

This is because of an error with XCC TMP editor, older versions of it automatically set every tile to use the damaged tile system (the bridge ends use it etc). This however stops the game from reading all the tiles properly & so the game will only uses the first tile in the set. To fix them use TMP editor v1.05 to untick the "has damaged artwork" box in the properties in every tile.

Can't find a non-dead download for 1.05 though.
