Tileset Lua Files

Asked by Andre Novellino Gouvêa

Hello,

I am having some trouble understanding how the tileset lua files work. I looked through the documentation, but it didn't seem to answer my questions.

What do the numbers in the slot entries mean? For instance:

  "solid", { "light-grass", "land",
    { 356, 357, 356, 0, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 358, 359, 358, 359, 358, 359}}, -- 050

Are 356, etc., all tile index references? Or pixel ones? And what is the purpose of the 0, there?

tileset should be reworked...

Currently,
Map use the numbers corresponding to the -- 050

The numbers ( 356, 357, ...) represent the index in the tileset image.
(so 356 is the tile of the 11th line and 3rd column (if I'm right) from rigth-top)

the position of the 16 numbers in each line have different meanings depending if tile is "solid", "mixed", "wall"

for solid, it represent alternative representations and with some "decoration", 0 acts as separator.
for mixed, wall, it take into account neighbour and/or hitpoints.

Some stuff are hard coded in stratagus for the editor (to "autofill" correct neighbour)
and for wargus to manage wood/rock/wall addition/removal during the game.
