[General] How to enable all Tilessets for a Map?

[Nugamentum]

Hey guys,

its been a while. Reforged hit, iam old now. There once was a way enable all tilessets for a map. Is that still possible? I want to get back into mapping!

Cheers Nugamentum

I suppose it could be possible to make a custom tileset and add all other tileset's tiles in it, but you will still have an issue with the cliffs as a map can only have 2 cliffs.

I thought it wasn't possible to have more than 16? The only workaround I know is to place outer tiles as variations of the tiles you are using, but it is a little tricky and somewhat annoying to work with.

You might be right, to be honest, I never tried to use more than 16 tiles, as I very quickly hit the cliff limit before it became promising.

There is a logical limit of 16 tile types. Each terrain node uses 4 bits to represent tile type. There are 16 possible combinations of 4 bits.

even with triggers?

You can't hack it with triggers as far as I remember it will just use one of the 16 tiles you've selected.

Triggers cannot bypass the limit. One can use triggers to dynamically load up to 15 (the map always needs at least 1) tile types, but still once a tile type is loaded it cannot be unloaded and at most 16 tile types can be used. Trying to load any beyond 16 seems to suffer from overflow in that it will use one of the previously loaded tile types instead, likely starting with 16 going to 0, 17 to 1 etc.
