MapView 2- adding tilesets?

[Keth01]

Hi all,

Having trouble finding the functionality to add tilesets to map files? Any pointers will be much appreciated.

I dunno if its similar to MapView (not 2), but to import more tilesets, I just edit the MapView.dat file to add in the path to the new tileset files.

Thanks for the replies, I don't need to add new mapsets to OXC I just need a map to reference more than one so I can add some tiles from the alien base tileset to UFOs. So I;m sure there's nothing wrong with the program, just my not knowing what to do- which seemed like a valid basis to ask a community that works with the program rather than chasing down the developer...

mapview II

in the MapTree (left panel of MainView) click the map you want to add a terrainset (aka tileset) to. Then right-click it and choose Edit Tileset ...

select a terrainset from the right panel (the terrainset you want must already be present in your base /TERRAIN folder). And click "Left"

Thanks! That's super intuitive one you know it's there

I would remember to you that the total tile must be less than 255 ... for a .MAP file format limit

search on the forum, you will found a lot of topic about that.

By ruleset you could merge different terrains into the same battlescape, I remember the script command "addUFO myUfo-map" as example, but "myUfo map" could be any thing

note to self: add warning if entries > 255

On wiki site there are a huge amount of info:
https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/OpenXcom

On the right panel you could read ruleset reference

rulesetreference  for  rel 1.99
https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Ruleset_Reference_Nightly_(OpenXcom)

ruleset reference for openxcom+

The most active modders work on the openxcom+ version

correction, OXCE+ wiki is not up to date, I keep all information about what I added in https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2915.0;attach=35794 (from post https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2915.0.html )
And Meridian log his changes somewhere there https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4187.0.html

[ps]
I made dump of info from my txt file to wiki, format is completely different that rest of page but at least represents in 100% what OXCE is capable of.
Now some good spirit could clean up this page

IIRC Meridian told me that SupSuper wanted to merge the Nightly Reference page with the OXCE+ page so that all info is together

Good, there will be only one place of truth for mod makers
