[help] tileset tag in automation script

[GuillaumeJ]

Hi,

I’m looking for a way to ouput a specific tile from an extend in a automation xml script. I’ve found that post here:

Tiled Builds and Tile Numbering Start

Hi, I have noticed this behavior when using tiled builds and the tile numbering. If I have a 4 x 4k m world build and I want to render the center 2 x 2km in a tiled build the tile numbering at zero. Is there a way for the extents to start at the index of the complete world as opposed to the current extents setting. I know I can set the start numbering for the tiles in the tile build dialogue, can I specify this start value in an automation script. The documentation does not mention I can speci…

But I don’t see the tag in question I need to use ?:

tag: is a child of
attribute: enabled=‘1|0’ defaults to 1. Set the tile to export or not export
body value: text in the form ‘x0,y0’. Specify a single tile location to set.

Here is an example of a very simple xml I’m using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

Could you provide an example of the tag I have to use to output just a tile from that file and not all of them ?

Thanks a lot,
Guillaume

Hi there,

sorry for the delay getting back to you on this!

Here’s a minimal script that will load a file, then selectively export only a few of the tiles.

In order, we:

1. Load a file
2. Modify the enabled tiles for export. the tileset default=0 section turns all tiles off. Then,
3. We selectively enable tile 0,0 and 1,1. When a location is specified without the enabled attribute, it defaults to on.
4. We build the world (which for a tiled build also exports the tiles)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<automation version="WMP2.0A">

<!-- The echo tag lets you echo text from the script to the automation reporting dialog -->
<echo text="Beginning Tiled Build Script"/>

<section name="Tiled Build">
<!-- Load the TMD file into WM again. Obviously, this could be a different file!-->
  <load file="example_script.tmd"/>
  <modify>
	<tile>
		<tileset default=0>
			<loc>0,0</loc>
			<loc>1,1</loc>		
		</tileset>
	</tile>
  </modify>
  <build mode="tiled"/>
</section>
</automation>

Running the script above produces this output:

(The neighbor tiles are still built because their information is needed for blending. However, only the specified two are exported.)
