Very nice tile compressor. I went from a 400MB tis folder to a 61MB size folder. Where would I put the snippet for the macro to decompress the files in the tp2 file, in the beginning or at the end?

It depends on your needs. You can decompress the files early in the process if you need them for further operations or you may process them at the end. HANDLE_TILECONV behaves similar to WeiDU's own HANDLE_xxx functions in that regard.

I'll just leave it at the beginning. I have the audio decompress at the end. Just wish there was a quick way to batch compress a folder worth of tis files instead of manually entering each one. I had 76 files to compress.

TileConv supports wildcards just fine. If you have a folder "tis" full of TIS files you can simply call "tileconv -o tis tis/*.tis" to compress every TIS file in the folder.

TileConv supports wildcards just fine.

You have this:

Usage:

But the example line is not there ... yeah, it's there in concept... but still. The use of code via example is always better, for a n00by like me.

So a small edit alike this:

Usage: tileconv [options] infile [infile2 [...]] 
Command line: tileconv -o tis tis/*.tis

Options:

Or whatever...

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit).
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

It's implicitly hinted at by the "infile [infile2 [...]]" passage since wildcards are resolved in the same way, but I can probably add a short remark that wildcards are supported, and perhaps a few examples a well.
