It needs improvement and refactoring of the source. That may come in time. For now, consider it a mostly working beta...\n\nA GIMP plugin to help with creating tile maps and tile sets for games.\n\nYou can create a level map in Gimp (or other image editors) and use this plugin to help with tile de-duplication and tile set optimizing.\n\nThis plugin is not meant to replace tile set and map editors. Instead it aims to provide quick, in-workflow feedback without having to leave GIMP to analyze tiles in another application.\n\nDownload compiled executables here: \n * [Linux GIMP 2.8+](/bin/linux)\n * [Windows GIMP 2.10.12+](/bin/windows)\n\n\n![Plugin showing tile map helper with an image open](/info/Screenshot.png)\n\n\nFeatures\n * Optional Tile deduplication\n * Overlay of Tile ID # on source image\n * Click-to-highlight matching tiles on source image\n * Estimates of memory usage for storing Tile Set and Map\n * Use either Source Layer or Entire Image\n * Variable Tile size\n * Tile X/Y Flipping detection\n * Export Tile Set as image -\u003e new GIMP image\n * Export Tile Map as text -\u003e Clipboard (C array, RGBDS ASM)\n * Works with indexed and 24 bit RGB images (including alpha masks)\n\n\nOS binaries available for:\n * Linux (GIMP 2.8+)\n * Windows (GIMP 2.10.12+)\n\n\n## Usage:\n\n* The plugin is located under: Main Menu -\u003e Filters -\u003e Map -\u003e Tilemap Helper\n\n## Quick instructions:\n\nNative compile/install on Linux using below.\n\n```\nIf GIMP \u0026 build tools not yet installed:\n(example for debian/ubuntu/mint)\n * sudo apt install gimp\n * sudo apt install build-essential\n * sudo apt install libgimp2.0-dev\n \nThen: \n* cd gimp-rom-bin\n* make\n\nThen copy the resulting \"plugin-gimp-tilemap-helper\" to your GIMP plugin folder, depends on version\n\nPlug-in folder locations:\n Linux: ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins  , or ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins\n Windows: C:\\Program Files\\GIMP 2\\lib\\gimp\\2.0\\plug-ins\n\n```\nGuide for [Cross-compiling to Windows on Linux](https://github.com/bbbbbr/gimp-rom-bin/blob/master/doc/GIMP%20jhbuild%20for%20Windows%20on%20Linux.md)\n\n\n## Requirements:\n\n## Known limitations \u0026 Issues:\n* Max number of tiles: 8096\n* The Source Image or Layer must be an exact multiple of tile size in both dimensions\n* Greyscale images are not yet supported. Convert to RGB or indexed first\n* Map export prefix labels are saved to images as GimpParasites, so only persist across sessions when images are saved in GIMP's native XCF format\n\n## GIMP usage hints:\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Software Development","软件开发"],"sub_categories":["Tools","工具"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbbbbbr%2Fgimp-tilemap-helper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbbbbbr%2Fgimp-tilemap-helper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbbbbbr%2Fgimp-tilemap-helper/lists"}
