Slick Forums

Is this going to be fixed? I noticed was posted a year before this one.

I'm going to work around this by making my server extend BasicGame, but it's definitely overkill for this.

I'm not familiar with the TiledMap package -- is there any reason why this should be private? What is a "headless" tiled map? I can expose the method as public, assuming that won't lead to any issues.

"Headless" is useless in its current state because it can't be changed, and it's only read from a single line of code in TiledMap: .

How it should work is by preventing image data from being loaded, which, for example, means a server wouldn't have to initialize any Slick-specific stuff just to load collision data from a map.

Based on what I've seen/read, making the static function that changes "headless" public should be perfect as a fix. Even the word "headless" onlyappears in this single java file, so it should be isolated.

Hey davedes, is this on the radar to be fixed?

Fixed in dev branch.

In future if you see something like this which is easy to fix, you can always submit a pull request, make the patch, then one of the devs can approve it for you.

Thank you very much, davedes. I haven't ever contributed to a project like this before, so I wasn't aware of the standard procedure. I'll definitely do that in the future if something like this comes up again.
