Tile Cutter
Because I couldn't not get the famed https://github.com/jlamarche/Tile-Cutter and https://github.com/psineur/Tile-Cutter/network to work in Mac OS X 10.7, with PNG images, I googled around and found a simple python implementation.
Improving upon it, and adding support for creation of cocos2d-esque plist files, here we are.
Huh?
This will take an image, and cut it into a number of tiles. It will also create a plist file containing references to these tiles that can be read by CCBigImage.
More about CCBigImage here: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone-extensions/tree/develop/Extensions/CCBigImage
The output will be PNG files and one plist file.
Dependencies
Required python libraries: Python Image Library (aka Image, PIL).
Idea and some code was found here: http://blog.odonnell.nu/posts/creating-tiles-image-python-and-pil/
Usage
Usage: usage: tilecut.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o NAME, --output=NAME
output name, sans extension (may include directory)
-s SUFFIX, --suffix=SUFFIX
suffix for file names, such as '-hd'. Please use
quotes if your suffix includes a dash.
-i FILE, --input=FILE
input file
-x VALUE, --tileWidth=VALUE
tile width
-y VALUE, --tileHeight=VALUE
tile height
Example
./tilecut.py -i ../originals/ship_panorama-hd.png -x 128 -y 128 -o ship_panorama -s "-hd"
Will create the files you are looking for.
Limitations
If your tiles all need to be the same size, the image has to accommodate for this, or you must choose your tile sizes accordingly.
