About this app

TMEditor functions as a free tool to allow the easy creation of map layouts. It is versatile enough to allow specifying more abstract things such as collision areas, enemy spawn positions, or power-up positions. It saves all of this data in a convenient, standardized .tmx format.

How Does TMEditor Work?
At its core, the design process of using TMEditor to create maps works by following these steps:

1. Choose your map size and base tile size.
2. Add tilesets from image(s).
3. Place the tilesets on the map.
4. Add any additional objects to represent something abstract.
4. Save the map as a tmx file.
5. Import the tmx file and interpret it for your game.

Ratings and reviews

Its a bit of a learning curve but i personally love the app. you do have to find your own tile maps, but they're not hard to find, a quick google search gets you what you need. I use this to make maps for my dnd world all the time. The only thing that would make it better for me would be if i could save them as pictures, but a screenshot does the trick too. Update 6.15.19 They did in fact add in the exporting yo png files so for me this app is perfect and far more customizable than others 6/5

I'm pretty good with this stuff generally but I cant make heads or tails of this thing. The video here has audio but just hear mouse clicks, no voiceover and the in app help menu is no help. Looks like it could be a useful DM tool but I'm just left scratching my head...

This app requires you to load your own tile map. It does not have it's own default tile map to use. The UI is a very clunky and difficult to use. The save feature seems to work now although if you accidentally closed the loaded tile map, everything is reset.
