Tilesheet mode [feature proposal]

[lapspider45]

The current "Tile mode" is good for editing single tiles, but when making art that uses many tiles (such as a game), you often want to edit multiple tiles at once.
I would like a tool or a mode that lets you place the tiles in a tilemap to see how they look together.

Features:

• assigning rects from the image to tiles (similar to the current Godot tileset editor)
• painting tiles onto a grid in a separate view (like the tilemap in Godot)
• the tilemap view updates when you edit the image to reflect the modified tiles

Extras that would be nice to have in the future:

• save the tilemap view to png
• exporting the tiles to a Godot tileset .tres (Godot 4 tilemap overhaul will break the current format?)
• exporting the tilemap to json, tmx, .tscn, what have you
• editing the tiles through the tilemap view
• "focusing" on one tile, highlighting that tile in the tilemap and letting you edit only that tile

Hello, just would like to know where is this proposal ? This is a must have feature I think.
According to me, this is one of the main reason why people use aseprite instead of pixelorama.

It will eventually happen, but not before v1.0 is released. Also, this proposal seems to be the same as #611, right? Unless I'm missing something.

[jordanlis]

Yep, exactly the same proposal. OK so is there any date for v 1? Just to know, no rush people will continue to work on other tool unti then

[OverloadedOrama]

No date yet, but I estimate that because v1.0 will see the project being ported from Godot 3.5 to Godot 4.x, the process will take quite a lot of months, so I wouldn't expect it before 2024. The proposal will likely be implemented at some 1.x release, unless a contributor wants to do it earlier.
