This is really nice. The zip file opens fine using Vista's built-in zip manager after adding the extension, but for some reason none of the tiles load when trying to use it locally, even if I extract the files from the zip (this usually isn't needed). Speaking of extracting files, there are blank, extensionless files with the same filenames as the folders; I'm not sure if these are a Mac thing but Windows doesn't like them, it's easy enough to just not extract those files though.
I have a few suggestions to improve this. Being able to see the tile numbers in the tileset would be great, though I'm not sure what the best way to go about doing that would be. Also, it would be nice if the RLE could be expanded when loaded into the map editor box, then recompressed when you were done editing. Lowercase letters should probably work in addition to capitals, it took me a bit to figure out why I was getting two blank half-tiles on the side of the row I was editing instead of the tile I was trying to put in the middle. Tiles $38 and $64 in the town tileset should be marked as walkable.
