Linux	Exe

All Systems

1. download or clone the repository
2. execute python ./src/tiled_gif_export.py
3. see Usage

Usage

Important: frametime is the time between animation frames in ms (default: 100ms). The value has to be cleanly devisible by 10 to work the way I wrote it.

With UI

1. Start the program for the first time
2. Edit the config.ini

[TOOLPATHS]
tmxrasterizer = tmxrasterizer   ; path to the Tiled `tmxrasterizer.exe` (you will need to edit the right side)
magick = magick                 ; path to the ImageMagick `magick.exe` or `convert.exe` (should be in PATH if selected during install)

3. Start the program and everything sould work after that

Console

Run one of these commands:

• tiled_gif_export.exe ...
• python tiled_gif_export.py ...

usage: tiled_gif_export.py [-h] [-r RASTERIZER] [-m MAGICK] [--temp TEMP] -d DURATION -n FRAMES -f FILE -o OUTPUT

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r RASTERIZER, --rasterizer RASTERIZER
                        Path to tmxrasterizer
  -m MAGICK, --magick MAGICK
                        Path to magick/convert
  --temp TEMP           Temporary Directory
  -d DURATION, --duration DURATION
                        Frame duration in ms (has to be devisible by 10)
  -n FRAMES, --frames FRAMES
                        Number of Frames to render
  -f FILE, --file FILE  Input file (Tiled file '.tmx' or '.world')
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output file (.gif)

Basic Commands used

x: frame duration

tmxrasterizer --advance-animations {x+1} "{Tiled-File}" "{PNG Files}"

magick -delay {x/10} -loop 0 *.png {outfile}

Or join using Matrix

Stuff that I need to do

• ignoring UI when using arguments
• proper error handling (mostly?)
• Build Pipeline for Pyinstaller
• Icon for executable
