Since Tiled 1.4

Projekte

Bestandteile eines Projektes

Eine Projektdatei definiert sich hauptsächlich über eine Liste von Verzeichnissen mit Assets, die zu dem Projekt gehören. Zusätzlich ist sie der Anker für :ref: die Sitzungsdatei sessions>.

Neben der Liste von Verzeichnissen, verfügt ein Projekt über ein paar Eigenschaften. Diese können in einem Dialog, der über Projekt -> Projekteigenschaften… aufgerufen wird, geändert werden.

Compatibility Version

The Tiled version to target when saving or exporting files. Can be used to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of Tiled or with Libraries and Frameworks that do not yet support certain backwards-incompatible changes.

Verzeichnis für Erweiterungen

A project-specific directory where you can put Tiled extensions. It defaults to simply extensions, so when you have a directory called „extensions“ alongside your project file it will be picked up automatically.

The directory is loaded in addition to the global extensions.

Automapping Rules File

Refers to an Automapping rules file, or a single rule map, that should be used for all maps while this project is loaded. It is ignored for maps that have a rules.txt file saved alongside them.

Any types defined in the Custom Types Editor are also saved in the project.

Sessions

Each project file gets an associated .tiled-session file, stored alongside it. The session file should generally not be shared with others and stores your last opened files, part of their last editor state, last used parameters in dialogs, etc.

When switching projects Tiled automatically switches to the associated session, so you can easily resume where you left off. When no project is loaded a global session file is used.

Opening a File in the Project

Another advantage of setting up a project is that you can quickly open any file with a recognized extension located in one of the folders of the project. Use File -> Open File in Project (Ctrl+P) to open the file filter and just type the name of the file you’d like to open.

Future Extensions

There are many ways in which the projects could be made more powerful:

• Make the project accessible through the scripting API.

• Allow turning off features on a per-project basis, to simplify the UI and reduce the chance of accidentally doing something your project doesn’t support.

• Recognizing the various assets in your project, so that selection of images, tilesets and templates can be made more efficient (potentially replacing the system file dialog).

If you like any of these plans, please help me getting around to it faster by sponsoring Tiled development. The more support I receive the more time I can afford to spend improving Tiled!
