request: nes workflow
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Tiled does not support nes specific workflow I think https://discourse.mapeditor.org/t/nes-style-8x8-to-16x16-tile-workflows/4054
Describe the solution you'd like I would like to request this workflow as seen in the forum
Metatiles are already supported, and it was this sort of workflow that the feature was added to support. You would create your 8x8 tileset, then create a map where you build your 16x16 metatiles out of the 8x8 tiles. Create a new tileset using that map as the source "image", and you can use the 16x16 tiles in your levels, instead of using the 8x8 tiles directly.
In your Tiled map -> NES converter, you'd probably use the metatile IDs, but also the metatile source map to create your metatile -> subtile mapping.
Can you maybe explain on the forum in details with example? I don't understand it znd don't know what a metatile is
