itsjavi Build terrain tilesets
Read shared context, ready preferences and the tileset provider route. Resolve grid, projection, cell size, terrain layers and the actual adjacency method from the existing project or bootstrap. A material texture and an autotile sheet have different contracts.
Produce the required pieces
Use the accepted palette and lighting. For a terrain set include the required filled, empty, edge, outer-corner, inner-corner and isolated cases for the selected algorithm. Match joins at native resolution and avoid an obvious repeated stamp. Keep decorative props separate from terrain collision.
When using SpriteCook, read workflow-essentials and generate-tilesets. Query current tileset options, preserve reference/edit/style ID semantics, use supported piece sets, and save the returned IDs, layout and dimensions. A model stored in preferences is an explicit project choice; validate its support. Respect inherited settings when a provider locks the size or layout for referenced assets.
For SpriteCook's 15-piece dual-grid set, read use-dual-grid-tilesets before implementation. Do not feed its indices directly into a different Godot terrain-mask convention. For square, isometric and hex layouts, derive placement, adjacency and collision from the selected coordinate system.
Verify in a map
- Create a compact coverage map exercising every supported edge/corner and terrain transition, plus narrow passages and isolated cells.
- Check gaps, seams, transparency, filtering, atlas bleed and the correct half-cell offsets where the algorithm uses them.
- Separate logical occupancy, visual tiles, collision and navigation. Check transitions between chunks as well as inside a chunk.
- Verify height layering, depth sorting and walkable entrances for isometric or elevated terrain. Keep visual projection and gameplay movement consistent.
- Inspect at the intended zoom and device aspect ratio. Measure large-map costs before expanding the terrain library.
Store the piece-to-mask map, tile dimensions, collision/navigation layers, palette/reference revision and output hashes with the asset. Handoff a playable test map and actual engine capture, not only a tileset PNG.
