R_Leo_1 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 So I'm trying to get a 320B map displayed on the screen and I just can't get it to work. I'm using tiled to create the map and I'm not sure if my tile size is incorrect or what is causing the issue, but any assistance would be appreciated.If I comment out any code relating to the .tmx file, then the code compiles just fine. This is the code: rem * Journey to the West set doublewide off set tv ntsc set romsize 48k set screenheight 224 set basepath gfx_JourneyWest displaymode 320B set zoneheight 16 rem * color palette 0 P0C1=$0F P0C2=$2A P0C3=$45 rem * color palette 4 P4C1=$C9 P4C2=$38 P4C3=$C4 rem * load gfx & mapfile incgraphic wukong_front_top.png 320B incgraphic wukong_front_bot.png 320B incgraphic Tiles.png 320B characterset Tiles incmapfile Level.tmx init clearscreen plotmap Level 4 0 0 20 14 savescreen drawscreen mainloop BACKGRND=$00 restorescreen plotsprite wukong_front_top 0 80 112 plotsprite wukong_front_bot 0 80 128 drawscreen goto mainloop If you need to see the tiled file or anything else, just let me know.

+SmittyB Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Nothing immediately jumps out at me as being obviously wrong. What errors are you getting, and does it compile if you include incmapfile but remove plotmap? The level.tmx file should be in the gfx_JourneyWest folder as well if it's not already.

+sgrddy Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/267116-plotmapfile-fun-with-mario-and-shantae-tiles/page-1If you look at the above post, scroll down to the INXS and Ghosts n Goblins screens, the code is there for download for the 320B screens. I will look later also. Edit: If you have setdoublewide to "off", shouldn't the tilemap be 80 tiles in width? I might be wrong about that. In the INXS example above, I have setdoublewide to "on" and the tilemap width is 40 blocks. I think that's right because the width of a character in 320B is 4 pixels, so 4 pixels x 80 tiles = 320 pixels. I think then your plotmapfile command in your code should have the parameters: 0 0 80 14. Your Tiled map also must be 80 by 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the error I'm getting: It doesn't compile if I include incmapfile, any reference to the .tmx file and the code wont compile. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/267116-plotmapfile-fun-with-mario-and-shantae-tiles/page-1 If you look at the above post, scroll down to the INXS and Ghosts n Goblins screens, the code is there for download for the 320B screens.

Thank you for this, the only issue with it being 40 characters is the compiler will throw an error if the number of tiles is greater than 32, so I wouldn't really be sure how to get around this.

+sgrddy Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hmm. I also remember having to make sure the tilesets were in a single row and that they had to be indexed before I imported them into Tiled. I also had to "embed" the tilesets in Tiled, otherwise it would result in compile errors. Have you gotten any 320B graphics to work? Can you use a format like I did with doublewide on? Also if you have too many unique tiles, the program will not compile. If you want, you can upload a zip file with your tiles and Tiled files and I can try to get it to work, but it's been a really long time since I've tried this.

RevEng Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 "blanks" is an undefined symbol in your list. Did you use a "blanks" graphic file during the map creation, which you haven't imported into your basic program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed doublewide to on and I used plotmapfile instead of just plotmap and the programmed compiled properly, thanks for the help! "blanks" is an undefined symbol in your list. Did you use a "blanks" graphic file during the map creation, which you haven't imported into your basic program? I did previously have the blank tiles imported into the basic program, but I have removed them since making this post because I realized they go unused, thanks for the tip! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecernosoft Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Well, this forum definetly helped me since I wanted my game to use 160B and couldn't get it to work. I do know that 320B and 160B are similar. Thanks a ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
