Ok I look at everyone''s tilesets and they look a little funny to me. Example a 32 x 64 tile will start at the top but will stop at pixel 63. On the 64 pixel it is just a transparent colour. This to seems to be taking up extra space in memory for no reason. Can someone explain to me why this is. I''m assuming its a interlocking issue but it still doesn''t hit me as to why. Torwin

they start at (0,0)...
0 to 31 = 32 pixels, 0 to 63 = 64 pixels

Why do you need to leave a space at the bottom?

That line can be cropped out but I guess some people are afraid of the wierd size.

the last line of the mousemap is necessary. when you have a 64x32 tile, you only actually use 64x31. the bottom row is where the tiles in the row beneath the current row interlock.
