Autotile 47-tile blob tileset generator application with Godot export support. Based on Electron JS.

Autotiler

Autotile tileset generator application with Godot export support.

Generates a full autotile tileset using a 15-tile image, including a resource with configured collisions and bitmask ready to be used in Godot.

Features

• Generates 42-tile Blob tilesets out of 15-tile Wang tilesets.
• Supports any tile size (multiples of 8)
• Godot Tileset resource export with configured region, bitmask, collisions and icon.

For roadmap and suggestions please use this thread.

Usage

Basic instructions

Once you have the app installed and open, you only need to open a tileset with 13 tiles on the left side, arranged as shown in the screenshot (or as in the example images at the bottom).

The tile size is detected automatically, even though you can manually edit it in the input.

Be sure that your image is made of 5 tiles wide and 3 tiles tall, regardless of the single tile size.

After placing the image, the autotile tileset will be generated automatically and you can save the image using the save button.

Exporting to Godot

To export the tileset to Godot, you need to save it preferably on your Godot project folder. This will create a folder with the PNG, a .tres and a .import file. Once exported, you can open Godot and it will recognize it automatically.

Once opened in Godot, you can move the assets to other folders, but the first time it needs to be in the Godot project folder root.

autotiler's Issues

Godot 4 support?

Hi,

Any plans to update this to work with Godot 4's updated tileset format?

This is my favourite tool for auto-tiling, I used it a lot!

Roadmap Ideas and Proposals [Discussion Thread]

Ideas

• Refactor code, splitting it better and using better patterns. React / Redux? + Some canvas lib?
• Auto-detect tile size when changing image.
• Drag and drop input image.
• Generate output in same page.
• Export to Godot (Collisions and Bitmap).
• Zoom change.
• Preview Mode layers:
  • Grid
  • Grid split
  • Transparency
  • Collisions
  • Bitmask
• Edit Mode:
  • Edit collisions and bitmasks on the canvas (rects and triangles).
  • Edit Godot icon.
• App exports for MacOS, Windows and Linux (Debian).
• Examples for 24-px and 32-px tiles.
• Support for Wang autotiles (reverse Blob to Wang)

Unsupported

Not yet supported or not tested:

• Isometric tiles
• Non top-down tilesets
• Exporting to other game engines (Unity, Game Maker Studio)
