I need help in extension

@richard Can you please fix this extension"Https://github.com/riknoll/small-tilemaps". It is not working. I can not open the editor.

it is super buggy

the reason i haven’t updated that extension is because nobody should use it! you can now get 8x8 tilemaps from the arcade-tile-util extension and that’s what you should use in new projects.

i’ll take a look at fixing this for old projects, but please do not use it in new projects! use arcade-tile-util instead!

@richard one of my older MakeCode Arcade projects depends on this extension.
In recent Arcade versions the Https://github.com/riknoll/small-tilemaps extensions editor no longer opens, so I can’t view or copy the project’s tilemaps into a newer extension which you gave.

What happens: Opening the project tryworks, buting to open a tilemap fails to load / shows a blank panel.

What I expected: The tilemap editor opens so I can view and copy them to the new extension.

Request:

  • Could you update the extension to work with the current Arcade, or advise the minimal changes needed so we can copy everything to the new extension?.

Thanks a lot!

@Dvplayzty here you go:

How I did this
  1. Switched to JavaScript
  2. Added the arcade-tile-util extension
  3. Replaced all calls to tiles.setSmallTilemap() with tiles.setCurrentTilemap(tileUtil.createSmallMap())
  4. Removed the small tilemaps extension using the file explorer (under the simulator)
  5. Switched back to blocks
