godot-tiled-importer VS tiled

I'm making this plugin because Godot 4 won't be mainstream for a long time (yes, it's awesome and I already love it). And in version 3.5, the TileMapEditor is very hard to use. Of course, it is possible to use "Tiled" editor and vnen/godot-tiled-importer, but this is also not always convenient. https://www.mapeditor.org/ https://github.com/vnen/godot-tiled-importer

Have you checked https://github.com/vnen/godot-tiled-importer ?

If Godot 3.x TileMaps can't do what you need, you might have better luck with Tiled and the importer.

However, when trying to import my map (a .tmx file) into Godot with Vnen’s Tiled Map Importer ( https://github.com/vnen/godot-tiled-importer ), the custom properties aren’t available. I checked the “Custom Properties” checkbox within my Import Dialogue, but haven’t figured out how to actually validate anything custom got transferred over into my post import script.

This is a known problem with tiled importer plugin and 3.5. There is a pull request on github that fixes it: https://github.com/vnen/godot-tiled-importer/pull/164

I am working with Godot to build a bare bones 2d tile-based movement system to learn the engine. To aid in this I am using Tiled and Godot Tiled Importer to provide the map as I disliked using Godot's built in features.

Building the new map. We are currently using Tiled and importing using the Tiled plugin that has been heavily modified by one of the team members. If Godot has one downside so far it is the TileMap, we really wish 4.0 was here.

FXREST - Did all the art for this one, just a little weekend (maybe two?) project. Put together a tiny resource, tool, and inventory system. (I also found and fixed a bug in the Godot Tiled importer plugin!)

When you decide on the high-level design of the resume, start building your map in Tiled. You can customise the map from the basic game you already have or build your one from scratch - just try and see what works best for you.

A more sophisticated approach may be to use something like Tiled (https://www.mapeditor.org), but it typically takes a lot of code to to parse a Tiled map, so I wouldn’t start there. The exact needs of your game will dictate the approaches you use. Starting simple means you can make good, visible progress getting your game to work. And I’m sure that plenty of real games have shipped where the levels are just text files.

When I first messed with Phaser, I just used a 2D array to plop in my tiles, but that was very tedious. That's when I discovered the Tiled map editor! I was able to "paint" with my tilemap to create a map with various layers. I made a ground layer, a wall layer, an enemy layer, and a potion layer.

There is also Tiled from https://www.mapeditor.org/ as a tilemap editor.

and for the map creation side there is plenty of software ! this one is nice and open source and free etc etc : https://www.mapeditor.org/

PolishedMap, for use in-game. But, if you're just sketching stuff out, PolishedMap doesn't have the most convenient UI, so something quick with great features like Tiled works well

I use Tiled with this tileset I found in Pilot NET. The maps it creates are entirely form over function - no fancy art or effects unless you add them a different way - but they're very legible. Then I use Foundry's drawing tools to sketch out outlines for cover, object sizes, etc. (Here's an example of a map I made for a Train Heist combat - orange is Size 1, yellow is soft cover, purple is difficult terrain, and so on.)

If you want to add grids or hexes, you’ll need to edit the image in an image editor to add those. I’d suggest looking at TileD at https://www.mapeditor.org or something along those lines.
