This method populates all internal properties including the LayeredTileMap's Layers and Collisions properties. Internally this method loads necessary PNG files using the argument contentManager. Typically this method is called in generated code by adding a TMX file to a Level screen in the FlatRedBall Editor. ### Tile Layer Format TMX files can be converted to LayeredTileMaps if they are using any of the following Tile Layer Formats: * Base64 (uncompressed) * Base64 (gzip compressed) * Base64 (Zstandard compressed) * CSV

Note that Base64 zlib compressed can be used, but to do this you must: 1. Add a reference to the Ionic.Zlib.Core nuget package 2. Add `SUPPORTS_ZLIB` to your precompile directives Using an unsupported compression format will result in a runtime error: ``` Does not support zlib, try using GZIP compression or csv format ```

Error message about using format that is unsupported

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.flatredball.com/flatredball/tiled-plugin/flatredball-tilegraphics-layeredtilemap/fromtiledmapsave.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
