Seamless option for Tilemap?

Is it possible to create a seamless option for the Tilemap? This way we could use it in high quality games. Is it planned? Because it was in the 9 patch object, so just curious why it's not the option here.

Not really, not at least how the 9-patch does it. In the 9-patch image each section of the image is connected to the other parts. In a tilemap the tiles aren't necessarily meant to be connected to one another. The 9-patch seamless option draws 1px of overlap to cover up seams and that works since the image parts are connected, but in a tilemap, that would just cause an unrelated tile to bleed in to the seam.

You just need to make your tiles appropriately to hide your seams--this is how it is almost always done. Heck, I have to turn off the 1px thing in the 9patch plugin (change it to exact) because I make my tiles to work from the get-go. The 1px overlap actually makes it look worse in some cases.

C-7: how to do that with the tilemap plugin? (can't really simulate pixel rounding just for the tilemap and tiles are strictly sized according to tile width and height)

You don't, you make your art assets seamless in your art program by drawing carefully and adjusting accordingly.

And you can round pixels by using a grid of 1px by 1px or greater. You should turn this on when you start any layout.

So your reply was not related to the tilemap object, thus not relevant to this topic. Okay.

Ashley, I don't think the 1 pixel overlap is an issue if you design around this with large tiles anyway, it would enable a lot of non-pixel games to be made.

But if it's technically impossible then yeah don't worry about it.

So I hope I am posting this in the correct spot. I am working on a title that used the tilemap plugin for the game boards. Here is a screen cap of the seam I am getting. I had my artist deliver the assets in a seamless fashion but i still get them. Is this a bug or do I need to find another way of hiding the seam somehow. I follow the steps suggested in other posts regarding the pixel rounding and sampling but nothing seems to be working.

As you can see in the image, I may just have to place a sprite ontop as a work around but I would prefer not to do that.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Nutzaboutpoker If you can still see the seams and you have linear sampling and pixel rounding turned on, then you need to overlap the images by 1 pixel.

Sorry for my lack of experience here, but how do I go about doing that?

Depends which part you are referring too. Project properties will let you change settings.
