Extending the designer

Is it possible to extend TXB? I'm interested in adding hex tile maps. But if I can't extend the editor to support them, they would have limited usefulness.

I don't believe you can adjust the TXB, however I could be wrong. I do know if you purchase TXB Pro you receive the engine source code, maybe TXB soruce is included? I would not know, but you can certainly add support into the engine for it, as for adding TXB support I am not 100% sure, I use TGB and I know it can't be done with that as the scripts are shipped compiled so you can't change anything.

There is no way to extend TXB no matter what package you purchase. Your only option is to create a custom tool to do what you need.

Yeah, that's a bummer. The extended tilemaps by themselves aren't that had to add, but not being able to add support for them in TXB sucks.
