Hello.

Does anyone has a nice isometric view engine, with tile selection and all? I'm trying to do one but not getting there...

Regards
Cristiano

IgnitionX has support for Tiled maps including isometric with tile selection etc, but it's a paid framework.

Diddy is free and has support for displaying isometric maps but I believe has no collisions so you would have to do them yourself. (unless it's been updated since I last played with it)

There is also FantomEngine but I'm not sure if that supports isometric or if it is being supported/updated any more.

diddy's tilemap has some basic raycasting features which you can use to do stuff like determine clear paths. I'm not sure if it actually supports isometric maps or not...

hi, DoobyDude. I don't know how to use Diddy. How do I use it?

cgrossi, you can find Diddy on GuitHub here: https://github.com/swoolcock/diddy

Just copy the diddy and threading folders to your modules / modules_ext folder and rescan modules in your IDE.

It comes with lots of examples that should help you get started and there is a Diddy thread on here, here is the latest one: http://www.monkey-x.com/Community/posts.php?topic=8291&page=first

I can't help with any specifics as I don't use Diddy, I'm an IgnitionX user.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, DoobyDude. I'll take a look.
