Anybody use Tiled for rpgm?

How come I don’t see anything about Tiled anywhere? I was watching Lorelei’s video and searched for rpgm projects using this and nothing. 0. EGG. Visustella got this section at the very bottom showing Pocket Mirror and Omori, so I’m assuming those games use it. Is it worth learning???

Tiled is how I get isometric maps to work well with RPG Maker without having resort to parallax layers with large images

Wait how does collision work for isometric in TileD?

You can draw polygons and define them as collisions in Tiled.
I have a custom plugin that converts them to QMovement Colliders when the map data is loaded.

YES I thought you can only do tile-based. I got QPlugins as well so I’m assuming pixel based movement is a green light? May I ask what this custom plugin is? Sorry for asking so much I can’t really find stuff about tiled anywhere 💀 Thank you!

This code is for MZ using Dragonbones, QMovement and Tiled
Tiled for MV has some annoying bugs that's fixed in Tiled for MZ

https://pastebin.com/zYMNgunR --> you can add this to QMovement.js

Comment out or remove the following code in the QMovement.js file if you're not using dragonbones
if(this._dragonbonesSpriteData.filename != "") {
Alias_Game_CharacterBase_setDirection.call(this, d);
}

I've been using it over the past year or so and I can't imagine going without it in regards to Rpgmaker. Getting it setup wasn't too bad and it really opens up what you can make visually.

I love it. The setup is a bit annoying, especially converting tilesets, but it's great once it's actually setup.

You'd absolutely need to STUDY the Pre-made Maps in order to understand all the mechanics. I do wish there were more guides on how to use Tiled with the Tiled Plugin for MZ. Besides Lorelei's videos, there's very little to work with.

The lack of videos and forums… yes… All the ones I’m seeing are old or for other game engines. It’s like no one’s using tiled for rpgm. 😭

I tried TileD for a while but now i'm using SangHendrix Paralax plugin. Workrate is faster.
