Anyone have sample code of how to reference the tiles in the map for collision detection, I have yet to figure it out even with these examples. I have a 2 layers a "walls" layer and a "floor" layer....

Layer indices are zero-based. So if your map has, say, 3 layers, you can access them via indices 0, 1 and 2 (not 1, 2 and 3).

There is a sample in this very thread if you look carefully enough. There are also plenty of answers throughout the forum.

Yea, I figured it out, there was a problem somewhere else in my code causing that, thanks!

Oh wow thanks colinvella. I always heard about Farseer being a port of Box2d but I never paid much attention to it. After reading up on it now it all clicks about them using the same stuff Box2d uses....

Hey Are there any plans for supporting OSX? If not, how trivial would it be to get it running on OSX? Any pointers? Thanks
View ArticleNew Post: OSX support
I have no immediate plans for porting xTile to OSX myself, however I suggest checking out libGDX. It runs on OSX (and iOS, Android amongst others) and now supports Tide maps.

Thanks for the reply. libGDX is not really viable I'm afraid as I'm working with Monogame and am looking for a decent tile library, rather than write my own. I'm quite happy running tide and then...

Someone did manage to get it to work with Monogame. Have a look at this thread.

Hi, I write to you because I'm currently developing a videogame. I have tried to implement an scalating system on your DLL, but I always get this blury effect with the tiles. Could you help me make the...

If you're scaling up you cannot really avoid the blurring. I would suggest developing large graphic assets and only scale down as necessary. Also, I think your code can introduce gaps or overlaps...
