Custom Maps Tutorial
ESCAPE LIMTEX LABORATORIES supports making custom maps for the game using Tiled in v0.6.0 of the game and above!
In order to make custom maps for the game, you'll have to download Tiled, the game's Tiled extension, and tileset from the links below.
Tiled (Latest version)escape-limtex-editor.js
Tileset_v0.6.0.zip
Your game version does NOT have to be the exact version of these downloads for them to function, they are the minimum version needed to support these tools.
Setting up Tiled for ESCAPE LIMTEX LABORATORIES.
First, you'll have to enable Tiled's JSON capabilities, you can do so by following these steps.
Navigate to the "edit" tab and press 'preferences.'
Now, go to plugins, and enable json.dll and json1.dll.
Installing the ESCAPE LIMTEX LABORATORIES extension.
Now it's time to install the extension required to handle exporting maps for the game! This requires a few more steps, and is primarily for Windows.
Press + R to open run, and type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Tiled\extensions".
Next, open a new Windows explorer window and drag the extension to the Tiled extensions folder.
Congratulations! Tiled can now be used to make maps for ESCAPE LIMTEX LABORATORIES!
Building a map in Tiled
Now it's time to get ready to build a map for Tiled, it's recommended you read Tiled's official documentation on their website.
It is important to note the level editor ONLY supports tile and object layers, and the native tiles packaged with the tileset.
Trigger parameters
Some tiles require to be an object, and require specific data to function. Any tiles with a "DATA" tag on them in the tilset are tiles that require to be an object.
Tip: To make a tile adhere to the grid, hold CTRL! Also make sure the object is a tile object.
