1. Set the path to the current project
2. Import a tileset
3. Import a map or make an empty map
4. Edit map using tiles, objects, and properties
5. Export as cdda map

CDDA maps are stored in JSON files. Multiple maps can be defined in each file. Each map corresponds to a Group Layer (a layer folder) and the name of the group layer is the name of the om_terrain.

Anything defined as a symbol on the map is defined in a Tile Layer.

Anything defined by x and y coordinates is defined in an Object Group (a layer for objects)

Export symbols can be toggled between easy to input and therefore edit (for us-English keyboard) symbols and visually representative (questionable) unicode symbols. Symbol assignments in order of priority: Palettes > Symbol Dictionaries > Other Unicode Symbols.

• fill_ter - The 'fill_ter' layer with tiles is just cosmetic and is not exported.
• palettes - cdda_palette_0 is pre-made, but additional palettes require additional properties of type string cdda_palette_1, cdda_palette_2, etc.
• flags - Each flag is a separate checkbox.

• id - defined as cdda_id.

When asked to select a folder select a file in a folder.

Tiled 1.9.2 does not have path to project available to script, but Tiled 1.9.3 will. Setting path to project re-initializes the script, which may interrupt the script.

In Tiled, tiles anchor top-left while objects without tiles in them anchor bottom-left. This offset is applied when importing and exporting. Adding objects manually is already offset. Doesn't affect usage unless you are confused about why the numbers don't make sense sometimes.
