Hello!

I've been developing a game and so far there hasn't been any issue I wasn't able to research and fix. However I am running into an issue getting the game ready for Retina Display.

I've read the post at http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/11660 as well as the wiki page on retina display (and many more forums/sites). I've enabled retina display and created the correct HD tmx file (works fine when I open in in Tiled) along with associated tile sheets. However, when I run the game on the Retina iPhone simulator, all of my objects seem to load in the correct location, but the visible map itself is in the bottom left corner of the screen. Basically there is black space equal to about 4 times the size of the map, with the map taking up the bottom left corner. It does load the -hd.tmx map, it just doesn't position it correctly. Also, the collision detection is all screwed up, which is controlled by an invisible layer of the map. While the visible layers are displayed in the bottom left corner, there is random collisions throughout the entire black+map space.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Or has anyone had any luck getting tmx files to work with both SD and HD resolutions? Any advice or tips would be extremely helpful!

Game works perfect in SD mode, even with all changes I've done to get it HD ready, fyi.

Thanks,

Cheers!

We are upgrading one of our game with HD graphics now which uses TMX. All we did was to take the SD tmx file, rename it to include -hd, double the size of tiles in the file (Simple text changes), put the -hd spritesheet into our resources and it worked like a charm.

Thanks Ozden79. All you updated in the tmx file was the tileheight, tilewidth, margin, spacing, and tileset(s) image source(s) to an -hd tileset, correct?

Its funny because the tmx file opens perfectly in Tiled after my text changes. One would think if the map looks perfect in tiled it would work the same way as any other map.

Headache...

>> to an -hd tileset,

leave the spriteheet image name with non "-hd" suffix.

Thanks Ozden! I'm at my real/boring job now, but I will try that today and post the results.

Ok. I've done exactly what you said, yet no dice.

testLevel1.tmx

<map version="1.0" orientation="orthogonal" width="50" height="50" tilewidth="32" tileheight="32">
 <tileset firstgid="1" name="Meta" tilewidth="32" tileheight="32" spacing="1" margin="1">
  <image source="meta_tiles copy.png"/>
...
 <tileset firstgid="9" name="Desert" tilewidth="32" tileheight="32" spacing="1" margin="1">
  <image source="tmw_desert_spacing.png"/>
...

testLevel1-hd.tmx

<map version="1.0" orientation="orthogonal" width="50" height="50" tilewidth="64" tileheight="64">
 <tileset firstgid="1" name="Meta" tilewidth="64" tileheight="64" spacing="2" margin="2">
  <image source="meta_tiles copy.png"/>
...
 <tileset firstgid="9" name="Desert" tilewidth="64" tileheight="64" spacing="2" margin="2">
  <image source="tmw_desert_spacing.png"/>
...

Like I said, the map itself looks fine, its just its down in the lower left corner of the screen and collision is erratic.

Edit: I do have "meta_tiles copy-hd.png" and "tmw_desert_spacing-hd.png" files in my resources. They load fine from everything I can tell. (No "can't find -hd file" errors.)

Update: Sorry for the confusion. I was stupid. The map itself was working fine. I just had to change some code to compensate for the larger map. Everything is working. Thanks again for your help!
