Tilemaps and tilesets support #25
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
One of the largest expansions in Aseprite’s capabilities was the introduction of true tilemap layers and tileset management in v1.3 including:
- Dedicated tilemap layers with auto-generated tilesets
- Tools to manipulate tilesets separately from sprites
From Discord message:
The main purpose is for keeping consistencies. For example, on a level design, I might want to create one tile for floor, one tile for wall. I then draw my complicated level using these tiles.
Oh wait, my floor tile is actually quite poorly drawn. Thankfully, I can just redraw one of the tile, and since every floor tile shares the same instance, it will be reflected on all floor tiles.
Next, I realized my wall tile is too boring, I want to add vines to some of the wall so I can have a "wall with vines", but I don't want to modify all of my wall tile. I can switch to a mode that allows me to modify an existing tile as a copy and modify just one of the wall tile, and only that wall got updated, because in that mode, editing existing tile will create a new tile. I can then reuse that "wall with vines"
Describe the solution you'd like
So when I'm talking about supporting, I'm talking about obviously save/load, layer mode, but also the mechanism to draw on the canvas and automatically creating new tile as well as merging tiles that have the same pixels.
Describe alternatives you've considered
