can we implement one tilesetdef in another?

[BuzzLEquerre]

Hello, I have a project to merge my tilesetdef of the caves and that of the plains. I would like to know if I have to recode everything by adjusting the tile numbers or if I can via a method readjust all of my tiles
tileset_cave.txt
tileset_grassland.txt

Unfortunately, there's no quick method here. You'll have to adjust the tile IDs.

If you open the .tmx file in a text editor, you should be able to see the firstgid property for each tileset. This will tell you where to start the numbering for a particular tileset.

The code for the inventory preview is already in the copy of the engine that you cloned. No need to add anything.

You can restore GameSlotPreview.cpp to it's original state by running this from the flare-engine directory:

git checkout src/GameSlotPreview.cpp

In fact, now is probably a good time to learn the basics of git. It's pretty essential if you want to maintain your own fork of the engine code. Here's a few commands to get you started (you should still look up a proper tutorial for git):

# show a list of which files have been altered / staged for commit
git status

# show the changes in detail
git diff

# create a new branch with the label of kingdoms_stone
git checkout -b "kingdoms_stone"

# include the file src/Flare.rc in the next commit
git add src/Flare.rc

# commit the changes with a descriptive message
git commit -m "Windows EXE info for Kingdom's Stone"

---

Anyway, once you're back to being able to build the engine, you only need to added the following lines to your mod's menus/inventory.txt (you might need to adjust the preview_pos):

preview_enabled=true
preview_pos=56,166

Ok thanks! everything works I managed to get my .exe file with the right name, and the inventory layout works great, only is it possible to enlarge the player animation? It would be a small bonus but if the solution is in the game engine don't bother you've already spent a lot of time for me x)

The engine would need some changes to support scaling up the animated sprites. So for now, you'll just have to live with it being the same size as the in-world character.

Okok, no problem I'll reduce the size of the rectangle, but what you did is fantastic ! Really a huge thank you ! ;)
Besides I was thinking that since you helped me a lot, would you agree that I mention you in the game credits ?
Because people who will play my game need to know that I did not code the game engine.

[dorkster]

You should include the full engine credits. This means shipping with the CREDITS.engine.txt file that comes with the engine.

Then there's the in-game cutscene (the one that plays if you click "Credits" on the title screen). This is loaded from cutscenes/credits.txt within the mods. The easiest way to add your credits to the existing ones would be to have cutscenes/credits.txt in your mod look like this:

APPEND

# your credits go here

This will combine the engine credits from the default mod, the art credits from the fantasycore mod (since it looks like your game will depend on it), and your mod (in that order). If you want to change the order, you'll need to copy the credits cutscenes from the default and fantasycore mods and give them unique names. Then your cutscenes/credits.txt file can look like this:

[vscroll]
# your credits here

INCLUDE cutscenes/credits_fantasycore.txt
INCLUDE cutscenes/credits_engine.txt
