UV edit of floors is weird

while working on new floors for a new paint pack i just couldnt get the floor paints to align properly to make them seamless, i started to notice it aswel on several basegame floor paints aswel, so i went to check the UV edit of floors and turned out the UV edit isnt properly aligned for it.

the link goes to a screenshot showing the UV edit, its not aligned with the pixels(it was maxed zoomed in) like on the right side the UV edit is halfway of a pixel and on the bottom around 90% of a pixel.

Personally I've never noticed any issues with the base game textures not being seamless.

But I get it can be hard to get the paints to tile nicely. I'll ask my artist to see if they have any tips. ;)

yeah most are fine, some got a small stripe visible or close to being seamless like these 2:

to be honest its something you only truly see if you really get up close.

From my artist:

Here is a template for the floor map:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u57AntRT4E-76rGuY8Z49tlE-tPbejWr/view?usp=sharing

As long as you put the same tiling texture in both the A and B then (as long as they line it up correctly with the UV map) it'll tile nicely.

To get more variation the floor tiles are laid out in this pattern:

ABABABABA
BABABABAB
ABABABABA
BABABABAB

So the bottom of tile A must tile with the top of tile B and the right of tile A must tile with the left of tile B and vice versa and etc...

My last tip would be to start big and scale down. I make all my textures at 1024x1024 and then scale most of them down to 256x256. This way any errors get marginalised.
