panda3d-tmx2bam 0.0.251

CLI tool for converting Tiled TMX files to Panda3D BAM files.

Usage:

$ pip install panda3d-tmx2bam
$ tmx2bam path/to/tmx/file.tmx path/to/bam/file.bam

or

from tmx2bam import Tmx2Bam
from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase

base = ShowBase()
tmx_map = Tmx2Bam("path/to/tmx/file.tmx")
tmx_map.node.reparent_to(render)
base.run()

find() important tiles by their properties/tags and make them move about and all that. Orthographic camera recommended!

Currently supports:

• TMX file with CSV data (default)
• Custom properties as PandaNode tags
• Multiple tilesheets
• Multiple layers and Groups
• Animated tiles
• Object layer/Objects (point, poly, rectangle, text, image)
• Background images
• Merge animated sprites
• Allow more shapes than just cards

Left to do:

• Infinite maps (chunks)
• Hexagonal and Isometric tiles
• Tile render order
• Tilesheet image collection
• Embedded tilesheet in tmx
• Embedding texture in bam
• Tiled features I'm not aware of
• Error handling
• A better readme

Mind:

• The Y axis is inverted in panda3d.
• Animated sprites can only have one steady frame-rate that you can set on the first frame in Tiled.
• Currently the image resolutions have to be power of two.
• Rendering individual tiles is slow. Add a custom property named "flatten" to layers to merge them.
• The ellipse and point objects are not drawn, they're empty nodepaths.
• I'm not a programmer but I play one on TV. Your mileage may vary.
