mappy with bordered tiles?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/mappy with bordered tiles?

OK so I have my tilesets made, currently they have a black border around each tile, is there a way to work with mappy and get it to recognize the border, or to save a bit of time does anyone know of a program that could do it automatically?

i appreciate this might not quite be the correct forum but seemed mostly the ideal

thanks a lot for any help!

urm... huh?

I don't think there's any sort of shape recognition in mappy. It's just a map making program.

Just put in the size of the tiles and it should work.. I think..

At least, it should work if all the tiles are the same size.
But you probably knew that.

Do you mean that you have your tileset image, but instead of having all the tiles next to each other you have a border betweem them all? If all the tiles and the borders are the same size, you can wirte a program in Blitz to do it for you. Just make use of the CreateImage() and CopyImage commands to create a borderless image and save it out to disk with SaveBuffer(). You'll also need to check out ImageBuffer. If you need the resulting image in PNG instead of BMP (the format used by SaveBuffer), just use your favourite paint program to convert it.
