2019.2/2019.3 and the Tilemap add-on

Hi @LeonhardP

I'm currently working on the Unite Berlin 2D platformer tutorial. This tutorial needs an extra add-on that can be found here and that comes from the 2D Extras code repo.

1. when I create a brand new 2D project in 2019.2 alpha, a "Tilemap Editor" package is automatically installed,
2. when I import the Robbie platformer project in 2019.2 alpha, I get a whole bunch of errors related to the Tilemap addon that is present in this project, all of them in the scripts that belong to this add-on (fixing the errors is not a big deal; it mainly consists in adding namespaces "using UnityEngine.Tilemaps" and/or "using UnityEditor.Tilemaps") to the scripts.

​

What I'd like to know is: will this add-on be integrated into the future versions of 2019?

Thank you.

Here is the tutorial I'm talking about:

 

I thought this was clear: it's the tilemap addon that is in the 2D extras code repo. (Actually, unless things have been removed from it, the 2D extras contains only the Tilemap addon.)

P.S. I've never got notification of your answer.

 

I am wondering if this splitting-out of the Tilemap Editor and moving it into a new namespace is the reason for the compile errors I am getting. I asked a question about it but received no reply. I will try tonight when I get home.

 

Hi and thank you for your answer.

What I wanted to know specifically was it the 2D Extras repository contents would be added as a package for 2019, whatever the version, in the future.

 

Ah, that seems fair enough. I really wish you included it into the current Tilemap package though.

 

Well, I guess the tutorial uses all of its contents so I'd like to see the whole of it added!

The 2D Extras contents only a Tilemap directory that contents mainly scripts; you can explore them here and compare with the current package: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/2d-extras.

I took a look in 2019.1.6f1 and 2019.3.0a5: no Rule Tile in the current integrated Tilemap package. So, basically, I'd like the whole 2D Extras to be added to 2019.1, 2019.2 and 2019.3.

 

It would be awesome to see the Rule Tile integrated into 2019.2, perhaps I am mistaken but I cannot see this. I don't think installed 2d-extras into 2019.2 is a wise choice as the Tile Palette is already there

 

I am following a 2d tutorial from unity "Ruby's Adventure" and it says to click on the following to create a tile:

Assets > Create > Tile

But the "Tile" option is not there!! Does any one know what might be the problem?
Also, I tried to find the "Tile Palette" window, but it's no where to be found neither

Window > 2D > ... nothing


Answering my own question and leaving it here for future users arriving by way of google search.

Go to Window > Package Manager > search and install "2D Tilemap Editor"

 

Hey guys, has the RULE TILE functionality been completely removed?
I thought it was great. I'm working on my first 2D title, and after watching many tutorials as to how to work with sprites, I really think that was an awesome feature. Perhaps there's a new way to mimic this functionality that I'm missing?

 

I can see the rule tile. Right click in the project folder. Go to "Create", then go to "Tiles" and then choose any of the rule tiles (for example "Rule Tile") and that should be it.

If these instructions are not lining up with your editor, I imagine it may be because you have not downloaded and installed the 2D-extras library. (Check the first post to find it)
