Description

This is a plugin for Unreal Engine 5 that simplifies the work of importing Tile Maps and Tile Sets made with Tiled. In addition it adds some quality time improvements and fixes to the original system.

This is the complete list of features currently available:

• Import Tile Maps
• Import Tile Sets
• Import Textures
• Auto Reimport
• Custom Properties
• Collisions
• Animated Tiles
• Modify Tile Maps at runtime
• Tile Grouping
• Normal maps
• Batch asset replace tool
• Batch modify sprite pivot point tool
• Batch flipbook extractor tool

Note: This tool expects the user to use Tiled as the main Tile Map and Tile Set editor, completely replacing the Unreal Engine Tile Map and Tile Set editor. Doing changes such as modifying tiles, layers, collisions and/or dimensions directly into Unreal Engine is not supported and can lead to issues.

Get in touch

If you find issues with the plugin please open a ticket here with as much details as possible on what happened, how to reproduce and the expected result. We will look into it and reply back as soon as possible.

Alternatively you can join our discord channel where you can report issues or request features, as well as ask for help or advice on related topics.
