normal tiles
well how many tiles can you have total and if im able to add more how would i do this i did not find a tutorial on this if there is one plz tell me if not can u help me?
"tiles" can be confusing: if you mean all the red/purple squares, there's a fixed limit of 768 in one mapfile. If you want more tiles (like rocks/grass/paths), you can edit the .bmp files in the /Tiles directory and add some.
ok so how many can i have total because i tried adding one i got to ts40 but after that it wont work
Well, there's 41 files (ts01 to ts41) with tiles and you can add new tiles to those files: open them and copy/paste your tile and save, don't mess up the palette though. As long as there's room (you can see that in DinkEdit), you can add more tiles. Wouldn't know the number of tiles you can have but you can also replace a file with a new one and fill that one completely with new tiles, like the new ts39 which you see in several D-Mods.
