Not sure if this is the best place to ask about tiled, but I know it does have very quick responses so off I go. I am using tiled to generate a tile map for the Ludum Dare, but whenever I export it, it always leaves all of the values 1 too high. What is the quickest way to move all of theses values one down?

Perhaps you are updating the index one time too much... Perhaps some more information on your data structure would be very useful... – darmat Aug 24 '13 at 04:01

@Jqmfg: Indeed, please provide more information... – László Papp Aug 24 '13 at 04:40

Is this a programming question? (Also, you forgot to mention *what* values are off by one!) In any case, does [this help](http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/MappingTips#Off-by-onetipsandtricks)? – Cameron Aug 24 '13 at 04:47

You are referring to the tile numbers of that appear in an array of tiles in .TMX files produced with the Tiled program. There is a simple reason for this: typically, arrays are stored with [0] being the first index; Tiled stores those tiles beginning with [1]. This means that when you are integrating these files into whatever game engine you are using, you will need to keep this in mind. Whether it's iterating beginning at 1 or simply subtracting 1 from every tile value you retrieve, it's easiest to just use TMX files with this in mind rather than trying to rewrite the TMX files themselves.
