Pygame TMX file not loading

I have been working on a KidsCanCode project in pygame(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UxnelT9aCo&list=PLsk-HSGFjnaGQq7ybM8Lgkh5EMxUWPm2i) and I've finished everything. Now I'm trying to create levels by loading two different tiled formats, but only one will load. Even if I try just loading 'level2.tmx', it won't work. Here is the code:

main.py https://drive.google.com/file/d/1deCK3QED_e8uE4oRRECtizgTFMLvwbKN/view?usp=sharing

settings.py https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LvhnJCobweFT462PPXY42_FdnSF2UGs2/view?usp=sharing

sprites.py https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FD-Uj2SjMVNG29IcK5qaLoU6RBIB5I1s/view?usp=sharing

tilemap.py https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JeYiEo-xJHJ0I16geg7jNERAC5pqEIIH/view?usp=sharing

(By the way, in main.py(load_data), when it says to load tiled1.tmx, it should say level2.tmx.)

The error is this:

TMX compression type: zstd is not supported.
cannot load
done

It still loads level1.tmx, and the game goes on normally, but I cannot load level2.tmx, and if I try loading that to play, the screen does not load and it gives an error:

TMX compression type: zstd is not supported.

If someone can help me, that would be great. Thanks!

Solution

  • The error indicates that the file, level2.tmx, is compressed with compression type zstd. This kind of compression is not supported by your python install.

    If you install a python module to handle this kind of compression, such as the module at: https://pypi.org/project/zstd/ It might work.

    Alternatively you need to convert level2.tmx to the same format as level1.tmx
