Beginner's Guide on How To Use Tiled in RPG Maker MZ

Hi everyone! In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the process of putting Tiled maps into our RPG Maker MZ project! We'll install the plugin, software, prep our folders, set up tilesets (even autotiles/terrain sets!), and build a simple working map. This tutorial should cover all of the basics. In a future video, I'll go over some of the more fancier features! Like multiple dimensions (over/underpasses like bridges), reflections, mirrors, and also some tricks I learned like automapping. I'll link the video here once I finish it! This tutorial assumes you're already familiar with RPG Maker in general. You've been using it for a while and now want to take your mapping to the next level. If you're brand new to RPG Maker, I recommend getting familiar with the basics of creating maps, using events, and navigating the database before jumping into Tiled. ***** Downloads ***** Tiled Software: https://www.mapeditor.org/ Tiled Plugin for MZ: https://visustella.itch.io/tiledpluginmz Tiled Plugin for MV: https://archeia.itch.io/tiled-plugin-... ***** Contents ***** 00:00 Introduction 00:50 Setting Up Tiled & Plugin 02:03 Setting Up The Map 03:22 Tiled Interface Overview 04:12 Preparing The Tileset 06:53 Setting Up The Layers 11:27 Getting The System Tiles 13:40 Converting Autotiles 19:12 Mapping 24:30 Testing The Map 25:06 All Done! ***** Socials & Links ***** Watch me on Twitch!   / lorivt   Discord:   / discord   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/fallenlorele...
