Add Defold tilesource path to Defold tilemap export as custom property

[divSelector]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Every time you export a map as a Defold tilemap, you have to reset its tilesource path in Defold. A tilesource is plaintext file that points to a tileset png and has metadata included on it.

Describe the solution you'd like
This is what an exported Defold tillemap might look like

tile_set: ""
layers {
  id: "ground"
  z: 1e-04
  is_visible: 1
  cell {
    x: 0
    y: 59
    tile: 16
    h_flip: 0
    v_flip: 0
    rotate90: 0
  }

Notice that it includes the tile_set property but it's a blank string.

What I suggest is that you should be able to specify a custom property on the tilemap that will result in

tile_set: "/assets/tilesets/test.tilesource"
layers {
id: "ground"
z: 1.0E-4
cell {
  x: 0
  y: 0
  tile: 16
}

Did you try the tile_set property documented at https://doc.mapeditor.org/en/stable/manual/export-defold/ ?

The property is apparently called tilesource, not tile_set ;D

Ah, that depends on which plugin you're using, or are the docs wrong? For the "defoldcollection" it is documented as "tilesource" indeed.

Well, it is a bit ridiculous that I didn't consider the possibility that this feature already existed before posting I suppose. What's even more ridiculous is that I wrote an extension to fire a subprocess that uses sed to put the tilesource filename in there.

But yeah it's a bit weird, the filetype in Defold is a ".tilesource" but the property in the .tilemap file that refers to it is tile_set. Honestly, if you want my opinion as a Defold user, calling the property in Tiled "tilesource" is more intuitive because Defold users call that file a tilesource, not a tile_set, that's just something under the hood in Defold for some reason -- probably just an old decision someone made a long time ago and now is the way it is.

Sorry for bothering you :)
