Originally I had all of my tilesets (not the images) in a “Tilesets” folder as jsons. I made a big map. Working great. Then I realized I should organize my tilesets, so I made another folder within the “Tilesets” folder called “Rain Kingdom.” I moved all of my jsons in there. This, naturally, broke my map.

I relinked the tileset images into all of the tileset jsons in /Rain Kingdom. They don’t give me any errors.

In the actual Map json, it told me the tileset jsons were missing, so I relinked them, no errors.

Except the map is still full of red blocks and boxes.

I checked the json in an editor and it shows the correct path.

> “tilesets”:[  
> {  
> “firstgid”:1,  
> “source”:“Tilesets/Rain Kingdom/Rain\_TileAuto\_CastleWalls.json”  
> },

I have hit Reload and restarted Tiled, and also my computer.

Is there something else I need to do to fix this? (Note that moving the jsons back into the root Tilesets folder is not fixing the red boxes)

Edit: I changed “Rain Kingdom” to “RainKingdom” thinking maybe the space was the issue, relinked everything again, and now my map is empty / gray instead of red boxed.

Edit2: I forgot I had another map using the same tilesets. I opened that up, relinked everything when prompted. These tiles are appearing correctly. EXCEPT terrains. All of my “autotiles” are red boxed.

Edit3: My heart is broken. The “blank map” from my first edit, I checked the json file, and all of the data are now 0s… [It was a large map](https://imgur.com/a/VgZG47g) but I guess I can redo it. I guess the lesson here is - well, back up your maps, first of all - and also don’t touch anything? I didn’t think moving the tilesets would delete my whole map. Though not sure why the second map is intact (except for terrains).
