Since my artistic abilities are limited at best (and less than zero at worst), I decided to try downloading some tilesets. When I opened up the VSP files in Maped 2.0 what I got looked really weird. The tiles looked as if they were a left half from one tile and a right half from another. I tried opening them in TilEd for V1 and I got exactly the same thing. Am I not using the right program to try to open them, or is there something wrong with the files themselves?

Here are the files I'm talking about (downloaded from tVS twice: once before and once after the main site was taken down)
Icesnow.vsp
ledges.vsp
Nature.vsp
Woods.vsp
zelda1.vsp
and grnacres.vsp, which caused maped to freeze up when I tried it.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Well, TileEd will only open v1 vsps. MapEd should do both. Most of those are v1 vsps I think though, so that shouldn't be a problem. But, since grnacres is the only v2 vsp, it makes me believe something revolves around that.

You sure it's MapEd2, and not MapEd 1?
Its not MapEd 2+i? That might not matter.
Do any other tilesets work?
Is grnacres the one from the textbox tutorial?
What version of MapEd 2 is it?

I don't know, that sounds like a weird problem.

I'm using Maped 2.01 from the 10-27 build. I can create tiles with it, and any games I have downloaded seem to open up just fine.
And now that you mention it, I realize I do have a copy of grnacres.vsp already. The file sizes are different! The one I got with the tutorial (which works) is 11849 bytes, while the one that doesn't work is 11,882 bytes.
For whatever reason, Netscape was downloading it as text. I switched to IE and it works now.
Thanks, I would probably have never thought of that on my own, even though I guess I should have.
