[Solved]Slick2d - Rendering only a part of the map - need all of it

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I posted the same thing on Slick forums - posting here as well because slick forums aren’t very active.

So I created a map using Tiled. I loaded into my game world.

I went through each tile and layer and added the objects I needed such as the entities and the collision objects.

It renders them all correctly and all works dandy except when I move my camera around it doesn’t do it anywhere else other than the width of the frame. It is missing 3/4s of the map.

I use map.render(0,0) and it renders the rest of the map, but the entities aren’t there, no hit box, etc. Look below at images:

My code:

for (int x = 0; x < tmap.getWidth(); x++) {
                    for (int y = 0; y < tmap.getHeight(); y++) {
                        //creats an image of the tile
                        Image tImg = tmap.getTileImage(x, y, layerIndex);
                        int tid = map.getTileId(x, y, layerIndex);
                        if (tImg != null) {
                            //load background as an image
                            if (property.equalsIgnoreCase("background")) {
                                StaticActor bg = new StaticActor(x * tImg.getWidth(), y * tImg.getHeight(), tImg.getWidth(), tImg.getHeight(), tImg);
                                bg.depth = -100;
                                add(bg);
                                //load the trees/benches etc as an image too
                            } else if (property.equalsIgnoreCase("entities")) {
                                StaticActor ents = new StaticActor(x * tImg.getWidth(), y * tImg.getHeight(), tImg.getWidth(), tImg.getHeight(), tImg);
                                ents.depth = -50;
                                add(ents);
                                //load all the victims/people
                            } else if (property.equalsIgnoreCase("victims")) {
                                //    String victim = map.getTileProperty(tid, "victim", null);

                                Man m = new Man(x * tImg.getWidth(), y * tImg.getHeight(), "man");
                                Man m2 = new Man(77, 79, "man"); //test man
                                add(m);
                                add(m2);
                                Log.debug("Man added");
                                //load the collision blocks
                            } else if (property.equalsIgnoreCase("collision")) {
                                CollisionEntity ce = new CollisionEntity(x * tImg.getWidth(), y * tImg.getHeight(), tmap.getTileWidth(), tmap.getTileHeight());
                                add(ce);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Even if I don’t add the background as an image and the trees and stuff as an image, and just use map.render(0,0) it does the same thing. If I use this code and not the map.render(0,0) does the same thing. Not sure what is wrong? Any way to get this working? Thanks

sorry, I am a little confused, so if you resize the window does the area of activity (or whateve ru want to call it) resize with the window? or is it always the same.

if it is always the same, then look around for somewhere where you use the numbers instead of like GameWindow.getWidth().

#3

What is the value of tmap.width?

#4

I’m not resizing the window. I am using a camera to move around the map. The width of the map is 100. But what is happening is when I start the game you see what your suppose to see in the first picture. But when I start moving around to the other parts of the map it shows the map but the entities and the collision blocks arent there when they should be.

#5

wait, what is the second picture then?

#6

The second picture I just moved across the map a little bit by using translate(x,y). The picture is bigger for some reason, but the window size is still the same.

#7

If I take away the map.render(0,0) from the render method, this is what I get.

It still renders the entities in that section to the right and the collision blocks, but not for the rest of the map.

EDIT:

I changed my code around and still get the same thing

/**
     * Loads and reads the tiledmap and adds the collision layer to the map
     * @param map
     */
    private void createCollisionMap(TiledMap map) {
        for (int x = 0; x < map.getWidth(); x++) {
            for (int y = 0; y < map.getHeight(); y++) {
                Image tImg = map.getTileImage(x, y, 0);
                if (tImg != null) {
                    CollisionEntity ce = new CollisionEntity(x * tImg.getWidth(), y * tImg.getHeight(), map.getTileWidth(), map.getTileHeight());
                    add(ce);
                    System.out.println("add collission");
                }
            }
        }
    }

    /**
     * Loads and reads the tiledmap and adds the entities layer to the map
     * @param map
     */
    private void addEntities(TiledMap map) {
        for (int x = 0; x < map.getWidth(); x++) {
            for (int y = 0; y < map.getHeight(); y++) {
                int tileId = map.getTileId(x, y, 1);
                String value = map.getTileProperty(tileId, "victim", null);
                if ("man".equalsIgnoreCase(value)) {
                    Man m = new Man(x * 16, y * 16, "man");
                    m.depth = 100;
                    add(m);
                }
            }
        }
    }

This time it loads the entire map but doesn’t make it an image like last time, but the same thing happens like in the second picture. Everything renders on the map, but the entities do not appear.

lol k fixed. Extremely dumb error. Noticed I was using my camera to set a certain area to render. Changed the variables and fixed the problem.
