Man, I thought the XP tileset was goofy....
If you look at the "create_tilemap" method in Spriteset_Map, you'll see that each of the tileset images gets loaded into:
@tilemap.bitmaps[0..8]
Writing a little test routine to print the value returned in $game_map.data [x, y, z], it looks like each file contains the following tile IDs:
0 - 255: TileB
256 - 511: TileC
512 - 767: TileD
768 - 1023: TileE
1536 - ? : TileA5
2048 - 2815: TileA1
2816 - 4351: TileA2
4352 - 5887: TileA3
5888 + : TileA4
It looks like each of the animated autotiles uses 48 indexes to store all of the possible combinations of the autotile.
It stands to reason that the non-animated autotiles would use 16 indexes, but that doesn't seem like enough to me...???
I think you can extend TileE, making it twice it's original size & use the range 768 - 1535.
I didn't test where TileA5 ended, or the upper range of TileA4.

I made a script a while ago which draws a tile at a location:
It uses two methods draw_tile(x, y, tile_id) and tileset_bitmap(tile_id). The last one was copied from the Spirte_Character class.
You can use the tileset_bitmap method to get the tileset which is used by the tile id.
The draw_tile method is used to draw the tile at a specified location. You could change the method yourself so it only returns a bitmap of the tile.
The methods aren't compatible with tiles from the TileA tileset.
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw tile
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_tile(x, y, tile_id)
# Get x and y locations of the tile_id
sx = (tile_id / 128 % 2 * 8 + tile_id % 8) * 32
sy = (tile_id % 256 / 8 % 16 ) * 32
# Get tileset bitmap
bitmap = tileset_bitmap(tile_id)
# Stop if tile_id is out of range
return if bitmap.nil?
self.contents.blt(x, y, bitmap, Rect.new(sx, sy, 32, 32))
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Get tile set image that includes the designated tile
# tile_id : Tile ID
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def tileset_bitmap(tile_id)
set_number = tile_id / 256
return Cache.system("TileB") if set_number == 0
return Cache.system("TileC") if set_number == 1
return Cache.system("TileD") if set_number == 2
return Cache.system("TileE") if set_number == 3
return nil
endIt uses two methods draw_tile(x, y, tile_id) and tileset_bitmap(tile_id). The last one was copied from the Spirte_Character class.

Hey, sorry for the late reply I kind of forgot about this topic. :blush:
The methods I gave you can be inserted in a Window class. If you call draw_tile(x, y, tile_id) then the method will draw the specified tile at the x, y location of the window's contents.
So the method doesn't return the bitmap value, but draws a small part (a 32 x 32 square / tile) of the tileset. If you want to get the bitmap of the tile then you can use the following code:
You can insert the methos in a class in which you want to use the methods.

Yeah sure, but what kind of demo would you like? I could make a window which shows the tile which the player is standing on.
Edit: Here is a script that creates a window which shows the tiles the player is standing on. It doesn't show the tiles from tileset A1-A4 as I'm not sure how to create those tiles..
Code:
#==============================================================================
# ** Window_Tile_Info
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Show the tiles the player is standing on (excluding tiles from tileset A1 - A4)
#==============================================================================
class Window_Tile_Info < Window_Base
def initialize
super(0, 0, 34 * 4, 96)
# Make window transparant
self.opacity = 150
# Refresh window's content
refresh
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Refresh
# Show the tiles the player is standing on (excluding tiles from tileset A1 - A4)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def refresh
self.contents.clear
# Remember the player's location
@player_x, @player_y = $game_player.x, $game_player.y
# Draw the tiles the player is standing on
for z in 0..2
tile_id = $game_map.data[@player_x, @player_y, z]
# Draw tile image on the window
draw_tile(z * 34, 0, tile_id)
end
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Update
# Refresh if the player has moved
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update
refresh unless @player_x == $game_player.x and @player_y == $game_player.y
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw tile
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_tile(x, y, tile_id)
# Get tileset bitmap
bitmap = tileset_bitmap(tile_id)
# Stop if tile_id is out of range
return if bitmap.nil? or tile_id / 256 >= 8
# Get x and y locations of the tile_id
sx = (tile_id / 128 % 2 * 8 + tile_id % 8) * 32
sy = (tile_id % 256 / 8 % 16 ) * 32
self.contents.blt(x, y, bitmap, Rect.new(sx, sy, 32, 32))
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Get tile set image that includes the designated tile
# tile_id : Tile ID
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def tileset_bitmap(tile_id)
set_number = tile_id / 256
return Cache.system("TileB") if set_number == 0
return Cache.system("TileC") if set_number == 1
return Cache.system("TileD") if set_number == 2
return Cache.system("TileE") if set_number == 3
