Attach them right here on the forums. There is an option to do so when you post. That way the whole community can lend an eye. (At least everyone who has Tiled)

I figured out the problem -- it wasn't the .rar or .zip extension, it's the location you need to put it in relation to the Tile Files (I had to make a folder for them in "res" so it could find them one folder up in "drawable").

As for the maps, they're looking good, but they need a bit of work before they're ready to go. I would say that there are bunch of errors where you didn't place objects "above" where they should be. I think any object that a character can "walk behind" on the maps is supposed to be on the "above" layer. I may be wrong, but I think each spawn area needs a unique name, like "monster_1", "monster_2", and so forth. On a couple of maps, you haven't even done the "walkable" layer yet. Also, I would check all of the tiles for the correct ones. For instance, I'm looking at "down_cave.tmx", and the tops of the walls are the same tile, but it's wrong. It's the top-edge tile you used, so it leaves a dark line at the top of it (looks like horizontal lines running across). There is a tile that has no edge in that matching set. Also, at the top of that map, you didn't finish the pillar in the center, you only have the two fronts. Also, where the walls meet the ceiling, I'd check again for the correct edge-version of that tile-set. Some don't have a matching down-edge.

Sorry if it seems nit-picking, but I know that it's easier for Oskar to incorporate the maps if they're tip-top.

You've done an excellent job on many of your ground blends, and I'm jealous enough to steal your creativity! :) I've got a map-set coming together right now as well, and I'll post it later once it's all complete. A small town with an accompanying dungeon.

thanks for the feedback! eaven though i didnt understand everything you meant. maybe my english is too bad or it is that i dont know too much about the programming...
and yes feel free to use, improf, change or "steal" the maps i could also write a littlebit about the quests i was thinking about.
which you also could feel free to the same.
