Fantasy Hex Tiles

For anyone who has never worked with hexagon tilemaps before (like me) and is looking to implement this in Godot as a tilemap, follow these steps (It's super easy):

1. Download the files and put them wherever you keep your projects assets.

2. Create a TileMap node.

3. Click "empty" next to tile set and select New TileSet. Then click "TileSet" where empty used to be.

4. Change the tile set shape to Hexagon.

5. Change the Tile Layout to "Diamond Down" (this makes the textures overlay correctly).

6. Set the tile offset axis to "Vertical Offset"

7. Set the tile size to X32 and Y28.

8. A the bottom of the editor you should see a bunch of tabs like "Output | Debugger (#) | Search Results | Audio | Animation | Shader Editor | TileSet | TileMap" -> Click TileSet

9. A little tab labeled "Tiles" should be selected with a big open space under it. Drag and drop your downloaded tilesheet of hexes into that area. 

10. A pop up will say that the atlas's texture was modified and will ask if you want to automatically create tiles in the atlas. Click no.

11. Under the setup tab change the texture Region Size to X32 Y48

12. Now hold control and click to drag your mouse over all of the tiles. This will create the correct number of tiles with the correct sizes.

13. Click the tab above these settings that says "paint" and select "Texture Origin" from the drop down. Set the y value to 9, then click on a tile and drag your curser over every tile in the sheet to paint this value. 

14. At the bottom, swap from "TileSet" to "TileMap." 

15. Now select any of the tiles you want to paint onto your tile map and click into your scene to add them. You can use the drawing tools the same way that you would in a square tilemap. Enjoy!

Hello folks! I have been developping Imperial Ambitions, and has been updating this tile set. I wanted to thank the community and share what I have added so far. There arent many new tiles, but there you go. Thank you

Hi! Sorry to be a burden, but I'm a little perplexed on importing the tile set into Tiled. I'm new to this (obviously), so I'm not quite sure how to get the hex tiles to work? Every time I bring them into Tiled as a new tile set, the grid cuts the hexagons up into segments; not to mention none of the segments align with the hexagon grid. Any tips?

Looks SUPER GOOD! 

Any chance of explicitly putting a license on this so that I can use it in my project?

Is there a way to use them with HexKit?

Can this pack be added to a Foundry VTT system?

Great tileset Cuddly.  Just curious what you created them in.  I have no where the artistic talent you do, but having recently bought this set from you, I'd like to create some map bounding fog tiles and looking for recommendations of where to create them.  Thanks!

The Tiled example refers to a tileset definition file for the rivers and roads expansion that seems to be missing.

Hi!

 i've been working on  a hex procedural terrain generator as a hobby. Your tiles are perfect to visualize different biomes! Check it!

I'll leave just one last comment that should contain all future updates as well.

I've recently gotten a really talented pixel artist onboard, so we now have a bajillion FantasyHex-compatible tiles and improvements 

They're all here for your perusal:

Here's the custom edits I've done:

I actually took the tiles I could find in the comments, organized them as best I could and as I considered to "make sense", and also created a few new ones, mostly by cutting, pasting, and photoshop voodoo:


Most notably, I "externalized" several assets, such as the graveyard(s) so that they can be used on any background; it turns out that Tiled handles .png semitransparency just fine, so shades can be created quite easily by painting a black with an opacity of ~13%; some may require more creative uses to look good on certain backgrounds, for example, the "tents and stones" which are intended for a desert background required using just plain red for shading to look good (imho).

I also organized everything into a foldered .psd with a helpful custom background, which I might as well share: https://anonfile.com/Xa52M3y2nb/Tileset_psd

I'm pretty OK with manipulation, however, I'm terrible at original assets, myself. What I'd like to see, but am too painfully inept to do myself, are more "random" assets and "markers" or "terrain features", such as temples/henges, various types of ruins, castles, keeps, and I'd very much like to see something denoting a small village, as well as a trading post; just a few houses and a palisade or something.

Cheers, I love the package!

Edit: Also, I've just found out that it is possible to flip tiles in Tiled by pressing "X", meaning that several tiles in this package serve no purpose, including half the harbors. Worth keeping in mind.

Edit 2: Finally, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Tile Properties setting(s) for these tiles is Orientation Othogonal, Grid Width 32px, Grid Height 48px, Drawing Offset (0, 2); Map Properties setting(s) need to be Orientation Hexagonal, Tile Width 32px, Tile Height 28px, Tile Side Length 16px, Stagger Axis X.

Man do I feel stupid here, because I can't get the example file to work (and I'm not sure why), and when trying to simply create my own tileset using the main tile image, I can't even choose hexagonal orientation in the properties, only Orthogonal and Isometric.

It looks great, though, just wish I could use it.

Edit: I think I worked it out, but some clearer instructions could really have helped. Apparently, the instructions you've given is for map settings, not the tile properties, but if one isn't familiar with Tiled in advance, that's far from obvious, especially when the tile settings aren't default either (it's 32x48.. I think?).

Is the artist available? I would like to know if I can hire him to work on improvements to the Tiles package.
