prob getting tiles from eSnip, prev threads no hlp

[chairchick]

I've gone over to eSnip to download tilesets, but the files I've found are .cst files. Saving the .cst file in the "Player Tilesets" folder and trying to create a new tileset didn't work. I don't know how to open the .cst files to get the 36 images needed to load the tilesets. I did a web search looking for the software program needed to open these files, but I can't use the only thing I found. It said I need to be running something called Apache Web Server, which I don't have.

IDK what I'm doing wrong. Is the .cst file kind of like .zip file, where the graphics files are zipped up inside the file? If so, how do I 'unzip' the file? I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I've seen pics of some great tilesets, and I'd like to gain access to them.

Thanks,
chairchick

If the cst files don't work for you, I think you are on Mac.
If that is the case, you have to rename the cst extension to cct.
Rename tileset.cst to tileset.cct. That will do the trick.

Nope, I'm not on Mac, I've got a PC.

When I've saved the .cst file to my computer and double-click it to oen it, I get an error message saying that Windows doesn't recognize the file extension and can't open the file. <shrug> I guess I just won't be able to get player tilesets.

But thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it.

Clicking the files has no use, unless you connected the cst extension to mte.exe. That is not wanted or needed at all.

You copied the tileset files into the folder "player tilesets". With that they become part of the game.

You start the game. Do you see the button OPTIONS, right next to QUIT (in game next BACK)? Click on the button OPTIONS.
On the right side, you find the word: TILESET and below it a button with a tileset-image and the word "more".
Click that button and you find the new tilesets among the ones that came with the game. You pick the tileset, you want to play with, and click the OK button.
