The same question. I downloaded the original Tristram map, and it's on .png format.
I think you must use the Tile Maker tool and convert it to ds1 and dt1.

First you need to use these files to create dt1, and then you can use them to create your ds1 map. You cannot directly convert the images to ds1 file.

You can use any tool that can create a dt1 file. After that you should read the documentation of the win_ds1edit tool on how to use the tiles to create your new map. You will also need to read on how to add a new level, calculate dt1mask etc. You can find more about these in the map making section of the forum and in the knowledge base.

I forced all .dt1 file on TOWN folder, and this error appear:

if I run without force .dt1 file, it's okay but the tool seem to be lost some texture

But in the game, it's working fine

Extract fence.dt1 from the mpq and put it in the folder shown in the error.

The software says this file is missing from the folder shown in the error. Just add the file and check again if it is fixed.

Ahhh nevermind. btw thanks for helping me.
I solved the problem, I didn't add new .dt1 file into lvltype and not update the dt1 calc yet so it won't work, but now it's working great !
