   Okay, so I'm working on getting a map that uses the new SpriteSheet methods working.

   1. So I prepared a sprite sheet with Zwoptex, Zwoptex Flash, and TP and all three basically created sheets with plists. This is something new but not impossible.

   2. Then I realize that if I want to even import that as a tileset into Tiled it won't work. None of the packers assemble it into an appropriate position.

   So, I suppose I'd need Tiled to somehow support reading the plist as opposed to the sprite image? Otherwise, is there an alternative way to create a proper tilemap that uses the new spritesheet formats? Otherwise I have to pack it myself and use the deprecated method to TileMap in place of using the new one.

   Did you read the tile map documentation?

   @araker - Do you really need to ask that question? Seems rather obvious.

   I don't think he read: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/3 either...

   You guys appear to think you're pretty sharp.

   Except there is nothing about using texture packed textures in that wiki document. Other than it saying you can create sheets, it doesn't mention anything about dealing with non-periodically spaces sprites and rotate sprites like the texture packers do now.

   Did YOU read my question?

   To be clear here I wasn't assuming anything, that's why I asked the question.

   Since there is nothing mentioned about it in the wiki, that should be reason enough to believe that it isn't supported. It wouldn't be very interesting to mention all the things that aren't possible.

   If you want to use tiled, you'll have use the different texture packers the old fashioned way, adding only images that share the same size and make sure the margin/spacing are all the same.

   I hope this answers your question.

   Thanks Araker. I think it was the "isn't it obvious" comment by Verisutha that bothered me most. Kind of funny since I had read the tilemap docs and he's going on posting links to post guidelines like I haven't read anything.

   Anyhow, I read in the 0.99.5 beta change log that it supported the new spritesheeps for tilemaps, but I suppose that's not the case.

   I've already decided not to use tiled for my project anyhow.
