Inspecting the TiledMap object of mini2Dx i found the following
grafik.png
It seems that the TiledLayerRender has wrong information about the tile sizes
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
Hmm I’ll check the code
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
@HerrDerb would you be able to send me the map + tileset somehow?
HerrDerb
@HerrDerb
eachturn-UnexpectedRendering.zip
That's a basic runnable project with the issue

I'm just kind of stuck. How do I use the camera in mini2dx?
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
I'm trying to figure out the correct way to render the hex when the side length doesn't match the width/height
in terms of the camera, there is no Camera class as such in mini2Dx (this will probably come in 2.x) so you need to manually use g.translate to move the camera around
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
@HerrDerb I found the issue with rendering. Will upload 1.9.1 to Maven Central this evening :)
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
@HerrDerb 1.9.1 is now available :)
HerrDerb
@HerrDerb
Cheers :) I've just been checking it. I'm afraid it's not quite right yet. I still have a small shift with the example project I've posted. What is exactly the reason that you calculate the with with hexWidth = (tiledMap.getSideLength() * 2) + sideOffsetX;? and not simply tilemap.getTileWidth()? With the first approach, you'd need to know the angles, don't you?
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
if you zoom in your map in tiled you'll see you tiles are off by 1 pixel
*your tiles
I think your tileset configuration is wrong?
HerrDerb
@HerrDerb
Oh, well this is possible I guess :)
Oh, gimp does start with 0 for the x coordinate....
sorry for bothering you and thanks for the hint ;)
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
no prob
HerrDerb
@HerrDerb
oh now I got it. The side length was wrong... Looks marvelous :) Thanks

when the github package registry goes public can we expect mini2dx to be published to it?
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
Yup I’ve already requested beta access :)
I just hope they enforce javadoc + sources standards same as Maven Central

Hi quick question (and im sure many to come) does mini2dx support animated Tiles in tmx files? They're not working in my case but I'm not familiar with the library so was wondering what I would need to do to make them work?
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
You need to call update on the TiledMap
Sam Keene
@SKeeneCode
Thank you :)
By the way, does scaling in the game have to be implemented manually? I remember the basic project libgdx made had automatic scaling which I believe was a feature of OpenGL, can it be enabled simply with mini2dx?
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
You can use the mini2Dx Viewport classes however if you’re doing any camera movement you’ll need to take into account any translation the viewport is doing
Sam Keene
@SKeeneCode
Alright I'll have a look, thanks for the quick reply. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions in the future
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
No problem. Btw if you use Discord the community is more active there
Sam Keene
@SKeeneCode
Will do - didn't know there was a discord!

Hello all, and happy new year.

I am a java dev looking. to make a basic 2D RTS game similar to DEFCON

After doing some research I found mini2Dx, would this be a good framework for this?

Also the discord invite link on the community page is expired
Thomas Cashman
@tomcashman
@tomaytotomato yup should be suitable for that sort of project
the link works for me? do you have ad block or something enabled?

Hello i am a starting developer and i wanted to make my first game and wanted to use mini2Dx for this. But when i try to generate my project using the project generator i get this error and can't figure out how to solve it.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ReflectionCache

hope someone knows hope to solve this. thanks!

@Torbuntu
Which version of Java do you have installed and using to run the generator?
JorritMaes
@JorritMaes
16.0.1 if I am not mistaken
Tor (torbuntu)
@Torbuntu
Could maybe try it with java 8. I'm not 100% sure if it will help but that's what I'd try first.
JorritMaes
@JorritMaes
you saved my ass thanks

@Torbuntu
😂 so glad I could help!

So how's the progress towards 2.0 stable coming? (I'm not on discord anymore so I miss any of the good inside discussions heh...)
