After loading a .tmx of a map I worked on, all the tiles are red crosses

Hi, I’ve been working all day on a map, and after I finished I closed Tiled and it looked like everything was good… the problem is that a few hours later I opened again the file, and all tiles were red crosses!
Is there anything to solve this problem? And what was the cause of it?
Thank for the help in advance!

The red crosses indicate references to tiles which could not be found. This usually happens when the tileset referenced by the map isn’t found, or when the tileset is found, but its image isn’t.

Does Tiled display a “Some files could not be found” message at the top when you open this map?

Oh yeah, you are right! I put the file back and it seems that all the tiles are back where they were! I suppose next time Iìll make to neither change the place of the Tiles’ files nor change this latter name…
Anyway thank a bunch for the help!

Hello. I am very new on this, but I downloaded a Stardew Valley Modded Map.

I wanted to make some alterations on it, but when I open it, I encounter the same problem.

How can I fix it?

This happens when Tiled can’t find the tileset(s). Make sure you have the tilesets meant to go with the map, and that they are where Tiled is looking for them. Because most Stardew Valley maps use the game’s standard tilesets, they might not be included with the map download, so you might need to get them elsewhere or extract them from the game yourself.

I have the modded tilesheets, but even with them inside the folder, still it opens all red. I don’t understand what I am doing wrong.

They might not be where the map wants them to be. Check the Stardew Valley modding wiki or ask the modder who shared the map, maybe there’s a specific location they have to be? If not, IIRC Tiled shows placeholder tilesets for the missing tilesets, and if that’s the case, you can click the Replace Tileset button on each to replace it with your existing copy. Note that if there is a particular location expected for those tilesets, exporting your map with them sourced from a different location may cause the map not to load correctly in the game.
