I got fed up trying to use Tiled - not that its a bad tilemap editor but i just hate how you currently can't cut/paste a section of the tilemap. So i went ahead and took a closer look at Dame and Fixel for Monkey. Turns out you can put together a simple little platformer.

Here's a quick test i did : Monkey Flixel Platformer Test

Neuro you can copy and paste a section of the tilemap, and a selection of tiles from your tileset as well. you must have just done something odd when you tried.

worked first time for me, and iv never used this before reading your post.

Same here. Probably just the wrong layer was selected.

Oh sorry, not copy/paste. I meant cut/paste that you can't do in Tiled.

Try again. Works here even with Strg-x and Strg-v.
The cutted tiles appear at the mousepointer.


Neuro(Posted 2012) [#6]
How exactly are you cut/pasting?? For me it keeps copying the selected tiles.


Volker(Posted 2012) [#7]
I select the layer I want to edit.
Then pressing R for 'rectangular selection' (german version of tiled here).
After that I select an area with mouse and press STRG-x. That deletes the selected tiles. Pressing STRG-v let the cutted tiles appear againg and I can click where I wanna have them pasted.
Using Tiled V 0.7.0

Ahh...thanks volker, it does work now. Guess i can still use both Tiled or Dame now :).

yeah I figured you must have been doing something wrong.
