Yeah I have it . . been there done that - - - dont waste your time. . .
I extracted the FS tile a while back and have them somewhere if you really want them. They are not that great. FS handles tiles differently. FS doesn't handle transitions like Falcon, instead tiles are somehow transitioned to the next terrain type on the fly perhaps.
Didn't even assess the tiles for night colors and if you are updating the bin file you may need to edit a pathway for the tile set too . . . the tutorial didn't cover any of the long-haired stuff.
I abandoned the idea of using them since I had to create the transition tile sets which is the tough part, and since the tiles were only so so, it seem more worthwhile to find hi-res satillite imagery and work from that . . . Isn't that what MadDog did anyway?
