Drawing Tiles - How to Make a 2D Game in Java #4

[@RyiSnow]

If you're not getting any errors but only seeing the grass tile, 1. Take a close look at your file path (package name and file name) and make sure it is correctly referring to your map file. For example, if you type "/maps/map01.txt" while the actual package name is "map", the program cannot read the map file. 2. Check your map file(.txt) and make sure space is inserted between numbers. String numbers[] = line.split(" "); This "line.split(" ")" means the program splits the line where space is inserted so you can split them and put them individually into the array. If no space is inserted in the map file, the program cannot render your map correctly. Basically, you can use any symbol for splitting lines. Space is just one way to handle it. Another example: String numbers[] = line.split("&"); (Then insert & between numbers in the map file) This works too. 3. Make sure to save the map file without BOM (Byte order mark). If the file contains BOM, the program fails to read the content correctly. Also, if your OS language is not English, saving it as UTF-8 might be safer.

Happy to hear that!

[@Ponti4real]

For all those that were only seeing the first line of your map and nothing after that. Make sure your public final int maxScreenCol = Number; and public final int maxScreenRow = Number; are equal to the amount of rows and cols in your text file map. so if your text file map is 16x12 tiles and your max row and col are 22x16 tiles then you will not be able to see your map. In summary make sure you maxScreenRow and maxScreenCol is the same as the amount of tiles in your cols and rows of your text file map. I love your tutorials Ryi, thye are so clear and concise and you explain everything in great enough detail for biginners to understand. ROCK ON! merry Christmas!

[@coalblood1065]

I'm also encountering this problem but I don't really understand what you mean by the max row and col being 22x16. In the GamePanel variables, I inputted the max col and row to be 16x12. I am unsure where you are getting the 22x16 that I can fix my problem at. Edit: Nvm I solved it after testing it out. I solved it by taking the br.close() out of the first while loop.

[@pianintendo]

Hey ! Very very nice tutorial serie, I really enjoy it. Just a little optimization comment : I think it's better to put the String numbers[] = line.split(" "); outside the second while loop, but in the first one, this will avoid numbers[] filling repetition as it changes only when we change row ! (I'm actually proud to be able to see it, this mean I understand very well what I'm doing and you're totally a part of it so thank you again for this amazing tutorial)

[@avery0719]

Hi, I am having a bug where the first tile just keeps repeating over and over again. I think to solve it I should move the numbers[] = line.split(" "); to another line.

[@gianad2314]

If you have problems with the map displaying only grass ( or whatever png you have saved in tile[0].image) It could be that the loadMap() function can't read the map01.txt file. The result is that the mapTileNum matrix is filled with 0 which is the default value. You can try other file reading methods, here is the one I used : private void loadMap(String filepath) throws FileNotFoundException { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(filepath)); int row = 0; int col = 0; while(scanner.hasNextInt()) { System.out.println(col); mapTileNum[row][col++] = scanner.nextInt(); if(col > gp.maxScreenCol-1){ row++; col = 0; } } } If you use a map that is bigger than the number of tiles on the screen, you have to replace the if condition like so : if(col > numberOfColInYourMap - 1) Once again I hope this can help someone and thanks for the amazing tutorials!

[@postulysses]

Thank you very much for the solution ! I followed your method after trying many times with getClass().getResourceAsStream() and receiving nullPointerException. However I insisted in using getResourceAsStream and find another solution. I passed the file path and name to a public final static String . Then the getClass(). getResourceAsStream () worked without problems. The code : .... public class TileManager { GamePanel gp; Tile[] tile; public static final String fileName = ( "/maps/map01.txt"); ..... And at InputStream is = getClass(). getResourceAsStream (fileName); Thank you very much again !

[@sorcerian_bootleg7112]

Keep it up! Looking forward for the next entry in the series! Also, it could be cool to make a tutorial on how to make those tile managers, like the ones you showed in one of the previous series to make everything more visual and easier when creating bigger maps. In other hand, there's something that caught my attention on the character movemet, or rather, when the character stops walking. I see that when it stops walking it shows the lastest sprite it was displaying at that moment, instead of going back to the first sprite. A stand still position, so to speak. How could you make it so when the character stops walking it displays a specific sprite of the animation?

[@RyiSnow]

Glad you liked this series! About the player sprite, the easiest fix would be adding this line following the "key pressed" if statement in Player class: else { spriteNum = 1; } Then when you are not pressing any keys, the sprite is set as 1. If you want to make it look more natural maybe you want to create another counter and count the interval for this one as well like this: else { counter2++; if(counter2 == 20) { spriteNum = 1; counter2 = 0; } } Then it takes 20 frames until player returns to stand still position. About the tile editor, I thought about implementing it in this tutorial at first but gave up the idea. It would likely take 10+ videos for the editor itself (it's actually a pretty huge program) and that will be too much sidetracking (and require a lot of extra energy!) If I make the editor tutorial, it will be at least after finishing this series. Sorry about that!

8:46 i'm kinda confused on the x-coordinate, how did you calculate the x-coordinate for the second tile to get x = 48 ?

Their tiles are 16x16, and their scale is set to 3 so each tile is scaled up by 3. Now each tile takes up 48 pixels, so they need to be 48 pixels apart from each other to avoid overlapping. To do this yourself, even if your scale or originalTileSize is different you just have to multiply your originalTileSize by your scale then displace each tile by the new tile size.

Hello, for some reason my loaded Tiles look "slashed" in the diagonal. They are slightly shifted in themselfes in the diagonal. I don`t know how to fix that, can you please help me?

Nice video! more explaination would be better . whats a Buffer/BufferedImage/InputStream/line.split but it was still easy to understand!!

Great tutorial! I just finished your text based adventure game series and decided to try this one! But I ran into a problem, my code just displays a panel full of grass tiles. I checked my code with yours but I cant find where I went wrong. How could I fix this? Heres the code: package tile; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import javax.imageio.ImageIO; import main.GamePanel; public class TileManager { GamePanel gp; Tile[] tile; int mapTileNum[][]; public TileManager(GamePanel gp) { this.gp = gp; tile = new Tile[10]; mapTileNum = new int[gp.maxScreenCol][gp.maxScreenRow]; getTileImage(); loadMap("/maps/map_text.txt"); } public void getTileImage() { try { tile[0] = new Tile(); tile[0].image = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/tiles/tile_grass.png")); tile[1] = new Tile(); tile[1].image = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/tiles/tile_water.png")); tile[2] = new Tile(); tile[2].image = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/tiles/tile_floor.png")); tile[3] = new Tile(); tile[3].image = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/tiles/tile_wall.png")); }catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public void loadMap(String filePath) { try { InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filePath); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)); int col = 0; int row = 0; while(col < gp.maxScreenCol && row < gp.maxScreenRow) { String line = br.readLine(); while(col < gp.maxScreenCol) { String numbers[] = line.split(" "); //splits up strings at space int num = Integer.parseInt(numbers[col]); mapTileNum[col][row] = num; col++; } if(col == gp.maxScreenCol) { col = 0; row++; } } br.close(); }catch(Exception e){ } } public void draw(Graphics2D g2) { int col = 0; int row = 0; int x = 0; int y = 0; while(col < gp.maxScreenCol && row < gp.maxScreenRow) { int tileNum = mapTileNum[col][row]; g2.drawImage(tile[tileNum].image, x, y, gp.tileSize, gp.tileSize, null); col++; x+= gp.tileSize; if(col == gp.maxScreenCol) { col = 0; x = 0; row++; y += gp.tileSize; } } } }

Can I see your TileManager class? You can paste it here.

Thanks. I changed the tile names to mine then the tiles were displayed correctly. So I think something is wrong with your file name or path. Check if those names/paths are indeed identical to your image file names and paths. By the way, are you getting any error message?

Anyone have an error in minute 7:08 , instantiating the TileManager class? update: make sure the TileManager class and the TileManager method have the same spelling. I had put the constructor as Tilemanager instead of TileManager. hope that helps anyone struggling

[@XQZFirefly]

Got a bug in the TileManager Class with the File Input of the Map: The inStream was null. Using is = FileInputStream("mapname.txt) instead of InputStream.getClass().getResourceAsStream("...") fixed it for me. Anyway thank you for your tutorials :)

[@bigbear8485]

it was a bit relieving when I paused the tutorial to continue a little on my own, question why the map isn't loading the data, go through each line of code one by one only to realize I didn't load the map, then unpausing the video and seeing that the same had happened to you

[@meltedice2186]

Hey RyiSnow! Thank you for this tutorial! I am facing a problem where my entire map isn't loading. Only half of it is being displayed. Please may you help? Thank you!

[@beautifulmama7851]

what could cause it to only display the top 16 row with the other tiles but the rest of the bottom is just the grass? i have tryed changing the numbers on the bottom to see if they would display and nothing =/

[@lucasa6597]

for those are using VS code , if the map is not working use this line: InputStream is = new FileInputStream("../../maps/map01.txt");

[@woodswoody5553]

amazing thanks man!

[@templeOfChrist1994]

Not sure why but, my map is only reading the very first number in the map.txt file "i have tested" by changing the first number and it changes the entire look of map to grass; or wall; or water whatever which i choose.
