# tmx2gba #
tmx2gba is a simple command line utility that converts [Tiled](http://www.mapeditor.org/) .tmx maps to Game Boy Advance formatted charmaps.
Originally developed for my own personal use, I've thrown it up in case this is of use to anyone else.

If you find a bug, please open an issue.

Enjoy!

### Features ###
* Exports to raw binary that can be easily memcpy'd into VRAM.
* Export raw charmaps that can be easily memcpy'd into VRAM.
* Preserves tile flipping.
* Supports per-tile palette specification.
* Custom collision layer support.
* Support for objects with id mapping.

### How do I use it? ###
## Usage ##
```
tmx2gba [-h] [-r offset] [-lyc name] [-p 0-15] <-i inpath> <-o outpath>
tmx2gba [-hv] [-r offset] [-lyc name] [-p 0-15] [-m name;id] <-i inpath> <-o outpath>
```

| Command | Required | Notes |
|--------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| -h | N/A | Display help & command info. |
| -v | No | Display version & quit. |
| -l (name) | No | Name of layer to use (default first layer in TMX). |
| -y (name) | No | Layer for palette mappings. |
| -c (name) | No | Output a separate 8bit collision map of the specified layer. |
| -r (offset) | No | Offset tile indices (default 0). |
| -p (0-15) | No | Select which palette to use for 4-bit tilesets. |
| -m (name;id) | No | Map an object name to an ID, will enable object exports. |
| -i (path) | *Yes* | Path to input TMX file. |
| -o (path) | *Yes* | Path to output files. |
| -f <file> | No | Command line instructions list for easy integration with buildscripts |

### How do I build it? ###
## Building ##

Dependencies for building are CMake 3.x and a C++11 compliant compiler,
Dependencies for building are CMake 3.15 and a C++20 compliant compiler,
all other dependencies are in-tree so you should be able to build with:
```bash
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
make -C build -j$(nproc --all)
cmake --build build
```

Optionally, you may install it to use it system wide:
```bash
sudo cmake --install build
```
Which will copy the tmx2gba executable to /usr/local/bin/tmx2gba by default,
if you prefer to use /usr for some reason you may specify a prefix like so:
```bash
sudo cmake --install build --prefix /usr
```
`--prefix /usr` can be used to override install location.

If you're a devkitPro user and would prefer to keep all your development tools compartmentalised
you may optionally install to the tools directory with the `TMX2GBA_DKP_INSTALL` option (OFF by default).
The build scripts will respect your `DEVKITPRO` environment variable but if not set will install to

* Add support for multi-SBB prepared charmaps.
* Check if this works for NDS as well.
* Compression support.
* Support for less common TMX formats.
