Revamp automappers (Page 1 of 2)

You know about the automapper, right?

Not at all! There's many positions that the standard tile sets haven't covered but he has! Additionally he wants to make the automapper automatic (?) which would make it a bit more user-friendly I suppose.

I found the automapper lagging exactly the feature to only affect the stuff youre currently working on instead of everything. If you want to give your map some individual design at the end with adding e.g. bones manually at free tiles etc. but later want to change an other part structurally or add something (using automapper subsequently), all the design changes are gone without chance of getting them back (a undo feature is what we really need btw). I found this happening often enough to be annoying. Only solution was to build that part in an other layer, or save the current one there and merge them later manually.
Your idea is very nice and would get rid of that problem.

I did not know that this was already a feature.  This is good as the work is already half way done.

Yes I think it would be a lot better if this automapper was... automatic..  This would be much more user friendly as when you select grass and place it on the map you would emeditly get feedback as to how your map would look.  Plus the automap feature is currently somewhat hidden.

would you happen to know how I would add this script? I could work on a script to use this format. 

also glad you noticed the stone + grass combination.  I don't know how this will look in the real world but I think it might look a lot better as grass, sand, and snow don't just stop when there is a brick next to it.

The only thing that this feature does not salve and actually would take away from the current automapper is situations like the jungle maps.   Something I really liked from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s83kMsvUnfY video was that every time he selected auto map in the jungle_main the bricks changed.  I intentionally left this out because I was not sure how to make it so that the bricks are random.

Thank you

I think that this tutorial explains automappers much better.

For 0.6 it's still the same android Don't know whether it'll be changed. ^^ But now, this tutorial is up-to-date

The same name as mapres -> put this automapper into data/editor with ".rules" extension.

In this rules file, you should to name automapper, eg. "[Grass]", below this your script

I'm fairly certain that LordSkelethom's pull request has been accepted and merged by Oy, but I can't remember if it's set for 0.7 milestone or if it's already included.

There was but I think it got taken down, unfortunately. I'll look for that.

I think each tile needs to be 60x60, and you need to apply the tileset_borderadd tool to the tileset before it can be used in Teeworlds.

Tileset_borderadd, adds 2 extra pixels, so it should be 60x60 (centered) on 64x64 block
