Can't use Tiled Map Importer in Gogot 3.0 (solved)

Danarogon

I've installed the Tiled Map Importer plugin in Godot 3.0 but I can't find a way to make it work. There's no "Import" button in the Editor anymore, so when I try to drag and drop a .tmx file, the Editor doesn't recognize the file extension and therefore I can't use it. I've also tried to activate and deactivate the plugin in the project settings tab but nothing changed. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you may have not enabled the plugin. Go to AssetLib or Project Settings and click Plugins. Otherwise you can checkout this github repo for instructions on how to use this for Godot 3.0. https://github.com/vnen/godot-tiled-importer

There is the import tab in the upper right corner of the screen (just under the play, debug, pause, etc, buttons. It's the tab next to the scene tab) if you are using the default editor configuration.

The problem wasn't the plugin but I found out what it was. Thank you for the help.

Care to share? I'm having the same problem. I drop a .tmx and a .tsx file with the same name in the project directory. I tried maps i made myself as well as maps made by others, but neither seems to work.

EDIT: I found out what the problem in my case was:

The .tsx file references the location of the source image you create the tileset from in Tiled (you can just open it with Notepad++ or something like that to see for yourself). I moved the source image to the Godot directory and recreated the tileset and tilemap using Tiled (and gave them all the same name just to be sure). After that Godot imported the Tilemap.
