Well, when I was using the publicly available non-beta lime, I was able to load up a test map with no problem.
Now, I’ve grabbed the latest beta, and did the following:
local lime = require("lime")
--Now load up your map data:
local map = lime.loadMap("testmap.tmx")
--After loading up your map you will not have any visual objects created, this allows you to load up multiple maps at once yet only creating the visual data later one at a time, to actually create the visual representation simply use the next line of code:
local visual = lime.createVisual(map)
yet all I get is a blank screen.
I have been known to be quite dense, so is anything leaping out at anyone immediately?
I tried saving my tmx files out as both csv and XML and to no avail.

Perhaps someone who has a working example can email it to me or post it somewhere? mario.roberti@gmail.com (Yes, I am not afraid of SPAM…I am that awesome)
Thx in advance!

Hi Mario, that should be working. Could you send me your mapfile so that I can take a look at it? [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4457 reply_id: 13971[/import]
I’m also failing the IQ test. My map is appearing but it is shown portrait so only a slice is shown. I’m also missing the blue sky background… [import]uid: 11904 topic_id: 4457 reply_id: 14507[/import]
You will probably need to set in your build.settings file your default orientation, if this doesn’t work (or it’s a different problem you are having) please send me your project and I will have a look at it for you. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4457 reply_id: 14519[/import]
Thanks. Build settings did fix the orientation. Suggest you mention this need in your Tutorial 1 so other newbies like me don’t bombard you with questions once you go live. [import]uid: 11904 topic_id: 4457 reply_id: 14548[/import]
Super. Checked and verified they are now “idiot-proof” even by my standards! Well done. Now onto Tut5… After exported set save I can’t execute any more. Will find it out soon and let you know. [import]uid: 11904 topic_id: 4457 reply_id: 14600[/import]
Ok. I give up. After exporting the tileset as described on Tut5 I’m getting bunch or errors when running the app. Here’s how it goes :
Runtime error

Very strange, the tutorial certainly works with the latest code (unless I have missed out a step by accident), could you please send me your project so I can see what I have done wrong? [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4457 reply_id: 14618[/import]
Right, I’ve “solved” the problem. I’m not sure exactly what it is yet but it is definately a Lime bug so well done! Basically to fix it if you import the first tileset back in (right click the tileset in Tiled and choose Import) still leaving the ice one exported it will work.
I will look into why having more than one (or simply the first one) exported causes Lime to implode. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 4457 reply_id: 14644[/import]
