Ability to zoom in to part of Tilemap #115

I also wanted this feature, will try to implement it in my spare time :)
Another feature I would like to implement is "recovering" the uvs when the tilemap is resized and new tiles are added to it. Right now changing the tilemap seems to break all uvs, which can be a deal breaker for large levels. |
This is a problem in blender in general. That is why I am starting out with a huge tilemap, to prevent having to resize later. However, the "Multi UV Edit" plugin has helped me with this! It allows you to scale the UV coords of all objects in the file simultaneously. And usually it's just a matter of
In my case it would be preferable for the "crop regions" to be linked to the Grid Settings presets. That is actually what I initially thought Padding and Margins were for, until I realized those were 'per tile'. Then Ctrl+Scroll will also iterate through those presets! (though ctrl+scroll doesn't work on a Mac because that has a different binding already.) |
Yes, I would like to avoid starting with a huge tilemap, because I can't really predict how large the tilemap will end up being and I may end up wasting a lot of texture memory. Multi UV Edit looks like a nice workaround, however considered this feature shouldn't be too hard to implement I will try adding it :)
This sounds like a very good idea. If each grid "remembers" its tilemap zoom, this becomes possible, and you can easily change the crop region later by dragging it with the Alt + middle mouse button. |
When using a really large tilemap, sometimes it would be nice to 'zoom in' to use just a part of that tilemap.
I thought that's what "Margins" were for, but those are per tile.
The screenshot shows the issue.
Of course one could start with a smaller tilemap, but that would mean having to adjust all the UVs later when the tilemap is resized.
