TILED-QT(1)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so this is the manual page for terraingenerator, and it lives in section 1 as TILED-QT(1) β€” it's the program that combines the terrains. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🌸


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

terraingenerator [{-h | --help} | {-v | --version} | {--overwrite} |
                 {-e | --embed-image} |
                 {-c T1 [T2 [Tn...]] | --combine T1 [T2 [Tn...]]} |
                 {-s TS1 [TS2 [TSn...]] | --source TS1 [TS2 [TSn...]]} |
                 {-o OUT | --output OUT} |
                 {-p T1 [T2 [Tn...]] | --priority T1 [T2 [Tn...]]}]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

bestie this page is the brief rundown of the terraingenerator command. that's it. it's brief. it was literally written that way on purpose. πŸ’…

so, tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. so we made one. we're generous like that. πŸŽ€

and what does terraingenerator actually do? it's a program that combines terrains and outputs a tileset. main character energy fr fr. ✨


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

ngl the program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below. no cap. 🫢

  • -h, --help β€” show summary of options. your little "what does this even do" lifeline. πŸ’–
  • -v, --version β€” show version of program. 😌
  • --overwrite β€” the target is overwritten rather than extended. so like... no gentle building on top, we're starting fresh bestie. πŸ”₯
  • -e, --embed-image β€” tile images will be embedded in the TSX file instead of being saved as a separated PNG file. one file, self-contained, iconic. 🧚
  • -c T1 [T2 [Tn...]], --combine T1 [T2 [Tn...]] β€” specify the terrains to combine together (all combinations). 🫨
  • -s TS1 [TS2 [TSn...]], --source TS1 [TS2 [TSn...]] β€” add source tilesets, order is not important. πŸ’…
  • -p OUT, --output OUT β€” specify output tileset filename. ✨
  • -p T1 [T2 [Tn...]], --priority T1 [T2 [Tn...]] β€” add terrain names to priority list (T1 < T2 < Tn). ⭐
not me noticing -p shows up in this list twice πŸ’€ the page says what it says and i am simply the messenger, i don't make the rules.

😭 BUGS 😭
