Setting the Aseprite executable path

Tell Ase2UE where Aseprite lives so it can read and export your source files.

Why this is needed

Ase2UE drives the Aseprite command line to export frames and metadata from your source files. To do that, it needs the full path to your Aseprite executable.

Set the path

Open Edit then Project Settings, find the Ase2UE section under Plugins, and set the Aseprite Executable Path.

  • Windows: point to Aseprite.exe inside your install folder
  • macOS: point to the Aseprite binary inside the .app bundle
  • Linux: point to the aseprite executable on your PATH or install dir
text
Windows: C:/Program Files/Aseprite/Aseprite.exe
macOS:   /Applications/Aseprite.app/Contents/MacOS/aseprite
Linux:   /usr/bin/aseprite

Verify the path

After setting the path, create or reimport a source asset. If the path is wrong you will see an export error in the message log pointing to the executable path setting.
