maybe pink from that tile is not the "magic pink". Try to copy that tile from original, non-edited tileset. Should work. If not, then read up. (At least I had problem with that color, when I edited one of my skin)

Try to re-instal CS2D.


Aaand.. it doesn't work.

The pink is the one I always use in paint, and always works --'

Oh and I've made the tileset from scratch, so there is no non-edited one.

*EDIT*

It works again
And I've changed the image to .BMP and back, opened it several times with paint and reloaded the tileset twice. Just.. what the fuck.

Then are these tilesets working in editor too?
Seriously, Idk what happend.

Wait, were you using that photofiltre to cut pink tile? Or editing it with that after? If yes, change them like I said before (with paint of course).

Well done. But still I can't imagine, what happened

Tiles problem

fix the RGB colors

•R:255
•G:0
•B:255


if they are for example:

•R(red)254 ×
•G(green)0 √
•B(blue)255 √

the tiles looks like yours(pink)

the red and blue color must to be on 255

Yes, MS Paint for Windows may have that as the pink colour, but trust me - The colour palette that MS Paint has sucks utter shit. Trust me on this one and download+install+use Paint.Net or any other graphics program (such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, etc) that allows for a more in-depth graphics properties and saving process.
Seriously, I bet it's because MS Paint doesn't give two shits about how it saves it's bmp's - In my time I experienced MS Paint using a colour palette less than that of a 32-bit colour mode palette (Some 256 colours) and ended up making my weapon sprite LOOK FUCKING HORRIBLE.
Yeah, because my smooth gradients (from black to white) turned into chunky steps, effectively ruining the look as semi-dark pixels turned completely black.

Stop using MS Paint.
Get a better graphics-editing software.

Stuff like this happens. Suddenly, something craps up, and you don't know why. When I was making maps for my first time, entities were randomly disappearing at times, and sometimes, when I saved a map, the map did save the tiles, but didn't save the entities.

Weird stuff, yup. At least it's working now, Fast. Good luck editing your map.

Well, I see you hate MS Paint, but actually the tileset was never edited with it.

Well, since you're using the editor (and not doing any graphics) and the errors of the pink tiles crop up in-game, you can't blame the game because it does not edit the tile's RGB palettes automatically, it only reads them, that's why it's usually transparent.

You obviously done something, or something has changed with your tiles - Here, do an experiment: Open up your tiles in Paint.Net, or any graphics program, DELETE EVERYTHING, and then fill in the void with that pink colour (R:256: G:0 B:256) and save it as a new tileset. Backup your old tileset, (copy/paste and rename it so that it is not longer the linked tileset to your map), and then overwrite your old tileset with the blank pink test.
Start up CS2D and play your map-
If everything becomes transparent, it's obviously an error with your tileset (the actual graphics of the tiles in your gfx folder).
If everything stays pink, it's obviously something wrong with your installation of CS2D, delete it from your C:\ directory (or wherever you have it) and reinstall starting from scratch - Make sure you backup your old map files and things you need to keep though.
