Download here: View attachment $TileSetMesh.unitypackage

Instructions:
To crate a new CSV Based Tileset, select GameObject->Create Other->CSV Based Tileset


A new GameObject called “CSV Mesh” will be created
Showing a 2x2 Grid in a pink color.



In the inspector you have the following Parameters:
Tileset: A material containing your Texture for the Tileset.
CSV_Input: Your CSV String describing witch tile part to use at witch position.
CSV_Cols: after how many values, a new Line should be created.
e.g. CSV_Input: 1,2,3,4
CSV_Cols:2
Would result a two by two mesh
Tileset Columns: Wow many horizontal columns does your texture have
Tileset Rows : Wow many vertical rows does your texture have
for example: the contained texture has 3 columns and 6 rows
Starts With: Do you refer the top left tile as 0 or 1
Spacing: how many pixels from top and left should be skipped before each tile.
Margin: how many pixels should be skipped on bottom right after each tile.
Update Mesh: Re-Generates the mesh using updated values

Example:

created a 10x10 Map in Tiled
And exported it to .json format
Open the .json File using a texteditor.



Copy the content of the data part into your clipboard (everything between “[“ and ”]”
In my sample this is
11, 2, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 3, 18, 11, 18, 12, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 10, 18, 11, 17, 5, 8, 9, 16, 16, 16, 10, 17, 17, 18, 17, 11, 5, 9, 16, 16, 10, 17, 17, 14, 14, 3, 18, 5, 9, 16, 13, 14, 14, 16, 16, 13, 3, 17, 5, 8, 9, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 13, 14, 14, 3, 5, 8, 8, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 10, 18, 18, 11, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 13, 3, 11, 17, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 10, 11, 17

• Paste that value into CSV_Input
• Set CSV_Cols to 10
• Use the provided “watergrass” material as tileset
• Set Tileset Cols to 3
• Set Tileset Rows to 6
• Set Start With to one
• Set spacing and margin to 1
• Hit Update Mesh in the inspector

See your generated Plane in the SceneEditor:
