Hello,

I apologize if this is a rather noobish question but I don't use this program often.
I was curious if anyone know how to change the perspective to resemble the one in this picture:

When I create an isometric map, it merely rotates the map's orientation.

Thank you for your time.

When you create an Isometric map, when you choose the width and height of the tiles, set the width to double that of the height. :)

Link to example : http://i47.tinypic.com/fykb9w.png (its a 1920 x 1080 picture, hence why i'm linking it... its MASSIVE on a forum haha).

EDIT: Just a heads up... if you plan to use this... be prepared to mess around with positioning and sizing for ages until it works right ¬_¬ it's probably more trouble than it's worth haha.

I was messing around with, and ended up having the maps tile size at 48 Width and 25 Height. The tiles i drew were within that size. I ended up with 5 tiles to draw 1 individual 3d looking Box.

EDIT2: Something else to take note of.. if you show the grid, the tiles don't line up with it. I don't know if it's a bug in Tiled or if its the sizes I chose, but it places them properly anyway... I don't know if that will cause any problems when it's rendered in slick though.

Finally...good luck to anyone planning on using this O_O .. I don't think I have the patience to use it haha.
