Fallout Tactics Level Editor -- Tile Sets How, Where & Why?

[Guest]

I recently downloaded the patch (1.27) with the editor in hopes of creating a new campaign. I printed the editor manual and followed the (un-compressing) directions to the letter. The campaign editor works fine. The mission editor works fine. But, the level editor is getting the best of me...

I cannot see (on the left side) any tiles. When I click the Load Tile Set button, the search is on but, alas, I find none.

Now, I know the tiles are there because I unzipped them. And, Windows Explorer verifies that they are truly there, uncompressed in the correct paths. So...

What am I doing wrong? Where have I missed this seemingly one little thing that keeps me from loading tilesets and/or viewing tiles? Help me please? I'm begging! The fate of my mindset depends on it!

RE: Fallout Tactics Level Editor -- Tile Sets How, Where &

On the sidebar on the left, go to the directory where you uncompressed the files. Open up the one of the folders in the "Tiles" directory and open up more folders until you see some tiles in the sidebar. If you click on one, it will be selected for placement. If you hold down the control key (or was it shift?) and select several tiles, it will say such-and-such amount of tiles selected. This is a tile set. Click "Save Tile Set" above the sidebar. Then, at any time, you can click "Load Tile Set" and do just that. Also, when you start a new level, you can select your tile set to make up the ground.

I think the original poster had actually done this, including unzipping the .bos files, but was still unable to see any tiles in the editor. I am having the same problem. I have verified that the tiles are actually unzipped and in their correct locations but the editor refuses to see them. However it seems to have no issue seeing maps and entity files.
I'm running Windows 7 on this machine
Any ideas?

If I had to guess ~and that's what this is~, it would be to install Tactics and the tile sets into a common folder not in the program files directory. Win7 seems very hostile to early applications where permissions are concerned; especially when they are installed in the Program Files directory.
