Notes

  • Supports only GameMaker Studio 1.x room format. GameMaker Studio 2 room format is not currently supported.

  • Tiled’s Tile Layer Format (from Menu->Map Properties) needs to be set to XML.

  • Supports orthogonal maps only.

  • Tested with Tiled 0.18 and 0.17. It is strongly recommended to use these versions (or greater) of Tiled. Maps created with some older versions was reported to have issues when converted by TiledGML.
