Guide: Installing Atlas Tile Editor (ATE) on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is Atlas Tile Editor (ATE)? Features and Description

2D TILE CREATOR! Create reusable sprite atlases and tile sets that reuse the same texture atlas in creative ways.

Atlas Tile Editor (ATE)

2D TILE CREATOR!

What's an Atlas Tile?

In games of yore, atlases (also known as sprite sheets) combined to form the entire world of a game. You could build the world by using a single texture, which helps decrease "texture swaps" in GPU hardware, and speeds up the game's rendering, while also helping the world get made by reusing art stored on these atlases.

Yes, you can save to PNGs and use the output from this program in RPG Maker or GameMaker or Construct or AppGameKit or .. many more game engines!

Atlas Tile Editor (ATE) is an up-and-coming tile editor that will allow pixel artists:

  • Create reusable sprite atlases similar to the functionality of GlueIT and TexturePacker.
  • Create advanced geometric tilesets for OpenGL (and DirectX) games in a way not currently available.
  • Pair customized tilesets with heightmap and normalmap data using a simple cyborg algorithmic and artistic way of building heightmaps as you customize tiles, using a provided height atlas.
  • Use the native ATE format, or a JSON exporter for tile overlay geometry features
  • Export "baked" tiles (available, but not recommended) as PNG, for legacy engines or engines that cannot use Atlas Tiles(tm).

Whoa whoa whoa, wait, you mean you can put actual geometry on these tiles?

Yes, the entire premise of the Atlas Tile Editor is to provide a way to draw tiles on the fly from a single texture, but using 2D geometry to allow multiple samples from this texture to create essentially new artwork as a collage. The 2D geometry is then assembled into a VBO and displayed in your favorite engine using a shader.

Just to recap, here's what you'll do in Atlas Tile Editor (ATE):

1) Create customized tiles from texture atlases.
2) Save "baked" tiles as PNGs
3) Save "unbaked" tiles as ATE packages.
4) Save "unbaked" tiles as CSS/JSON packages.
5) Save your workspace to recall your work whenever you'd like.
6) Create and associate customized height maps, which are converted automatically to normal maps.
7) Export tile packs with height maps, normal maps and color maps.
8) Import and pack tiles using BestRectPack algorithm.
9) Import and pack tiles using "row and column" packing (to create Sprite Sheets)
10) Add, rotate and stretch tile geometry with granular control.

Future features may include:
- Create short replayable presentations in HTML/CSS or
- Create 2d particle FX systems and "bake" films of their animations
- Create 2.5D isometric tiles and export them with normal mapping.
- Create a "3D" atlas tile, similar to a Minecraft block
