Introduction

This is my first guide, I'll adjust this if any mistakes are made, if anything seems unclear, or if/when something needs to be added.
Also I assume you already have the files and knowledge necessary to navigate your way between the various files needed. If not, check HERE[www.games2gether.com] for Amplitudes' own guide on how to use TILED.

In the current form, the TILED files that Amplitude gave the community, in the Forges of Creation DLC, does not include the various points of interest that the Tempest expansion adds (Sunken Ruins, Ocean Fortresses, and the many facilities attached to them). This guide will show you how to add them. Don't worry it's a very simple process, the hardest part is editing the .png file.

Required tools

An image minipulation program able to edit .png files, such as GIMP (free)
A text editor such as notepad or better yet notepad++.

The .PNG File

As you already guessed this image is used by TILED to organize the various POI's used by the game. Here you will simply replace the file with the one I provide here.

First make a back-up of your EL_POIType_v0.0 file then...
Copy and paste the following image into GIMP (you'll have to click the image then click the link above to copy the image)
You'll have to delete the black backround in order to get the transparency working.
Then export the file as EL_POIType_v0.0 Make sure you save it as a .PNG file.

Added tiles from left to right in descending order:

Sunken Ruins Manufactorium Listening Post Bastion Titanium Facility Glassteel Facility Adamantian Facility Palladian Facility Mithrite Facility Hyperium Facility Dye Facility Emeralds Facility Gold Facility Spices Facility Wine Facility Blood Crystal Facility Grassilk Facility Moonleaf Facility Quicksilver Facility Titan Bones Facility Dust Orchid Facility Dustwater Facility Hydromiel Facility Pixie Blood Facility Redsang Facility Dust Accumulator Facility Center of Influence Facility Vision Facility Food Stockpile Facility Industry Stockpile Facility Science Stockpile Facility Cargo Nexus Facility Ship Design Efficiency Facility Ship Design Optimization Facility Weather-control Facility Luxury Boost Facility Strategic Boost Facility Sea Monster Immunity Facility

The Text Files

PointOfInterests.tsx

The first thing you want to look at is the top two lines. You'll notice a few numbers refrencing image demensions and tilecount. Change the image height to 2400 and tilecount to 118:

Copy the following text into your PointOfInterests.tsx file: (make sure you create a space below the second to last entry (</tile>) and above (</tileset>) as shown in the image).

Hit save and you're done with this file.

BlankMapModel_v.0.0.tmx

**You can replace this file with an existing .tmx file if you have a map you want to add these tiles to. But it is a good idea to add these to the blank file as well if you make another one from scratch**
You'll notice this file has a similar layout, it contains all tilesets that are to be used by TILED.

Right click the map file and hit 'Edit with Notepad++'
Hit CTRL+F then type 'pointofinterest' to navigate to the tileset we'll be editing.
Edit the same lines as before (image height and tilecount). Copy the above code into the same spot (at the end of the last tile entry). Refer above if needed.

Save and exit and see if you can add the tempest content into your own maps

This actually seems quite useful. However, as Mr. Mudkip stated, I'm a reader who is stuck on getting to the actual tsx file so I have no idea where to implement the new code.

Great work! I've been waiting for something like this for a while, so I can finally support the tempest expansion in my maps.

While I'm here, I might as well mention it was not super intuitive to generate the PointOfInterests.tsx . It might be helpful to include a few lines of text telling readers how.

Great guide though!
