How to edit Rabi-Ribi maps

Downloads

Download the following:

1. The Rabi-Ribi Map Converter
2. These Tileset files
3. The Tiled map editor

How to use

Rabi-Ribi maps have the extension .map. Normally, these maps are found in Rabi-Ribi/data/area in your steam directory. We will explain how to modify the maps in this directory.

We use the Rabi-Ribi Map Converter to convert between the .map file format, which is used by Rabi-Ribi, and the .json file format, which is used by the Tiled Map Editor.

After downloading the Rabi-Ribi Map Converter, unzip it into any location you want.

In the rabiribi map converter directory, there are three folders:

1. s1_original_maps
2. s2_editable_maps
3. s3_final_maps

How it works:

• Copy the original Rabi-Ribi maps from Rabi-Ribi/data/area to s1_original_maps. These maps will never be modified by the converter.

• Double-clicking original_to_editable.bat will take all the maps in s1_original_maps, convert them to .json file format maps, and place them in s2_editable_maps.

• You can open these .json file format maps in s2_editable_maps in the Tiled Map Editor.

• Double-clicking editable_to_final.bat will take all the maps in s2_editable_maps, convert them back to Rabi-Ribi maps, and place them in s3_final_maps.

• You can copy these s3_final_maps back into Rabi-Ribi to try them out. (maps are placed in the Rabi-Ribi\data\area folder in your steam directory)

NOTE: The Tileset files MUST be placed in the same directory as the .json files for the map editor to display correctly!

• I suggest placing the Tileset files in s2_editable_maps

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When I load a map in Tiled, I can’t see any tiles at all! All I see are a bunch of numbers.

A: This happens when you don’t put the tileset files in the same directory as the .json file. If your .json file is in s2_editable_maps, you should place the tileset files in s2_editable_maps as well.

Q: I get a conversion error when I try to convert my .json map back into a .map file. What happened?

A: A conversion error happens when you do something in Tiled that is not valid in Rabi-Ribi. I suggest reading the Important Notes when working with the Map Editor to find out what you should and should not do in Tiled.
