I updated MonoGame to the latest development build and noticed the Tiled Map Importer and Processor wasn't in the content pipeline anymore (even after adding both MonoGame Extended Content DLL and MonoGame Extended Tiled Content DLL).

Am I supposed to build TMX maps into .xnb files using the MonoGame XML Importer and No Processing or am I doing something wrong?

Today I tried to implement tilemaps to my game that I'm developing on Monogame. Those tilemaps were created by using Tiled map editor.

For implementing my tilemaps I used Monogame Extended. I installed Monogame.Extended.Content.Pipline of version 3.8.0 (latest).

So after those stuff I added my tilemaps (TMX) and tilesets (TSX) to my Content Pipline Project but after building I got some wierd errors.

With tilemap

Processor 'TiledMapProcessor' had unexpected failure!

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Color Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Color.get_TransparentBlack()'.

Also with tilesets

I tried to search this bug on Internet and even using ChatGPT but nothing gave me result.

I would be greatful for any help!

I've imported Blender FBX models in to UE4 before, so I'm aware that some of the material information is saved in the model. How do I go about accessing this in MonoGame?

To be clear, I don't specifically mean textures. I mean the materials that then refer to a given set of textures (colour, normal, etc).

I'm currently parsing the same texture to the HLSL shader for the entire model, however I want to be able to change which texture is parsed based on the material information (or parse all textures to the shader and have it choose, I'm not sure)

EDIT: it would seem this information is saved in the FBX as "LayerElementMaterial"

The question still stands, is this information accessible at runtime?
