How would I use Zelda tilesets with tiled? Is it easy to import them?

Also, can you tell me more about the collision/opacity issue? I didn't really follow

"You just add the sprites to the tileset png and when you open it in the engine you edit the properties"

Can you go into more detail about exactly what you did?

First of all, I love the effort of the Zelda community to do something like this. Obviously a lot of work has been put into this and as a Zelda fan, I appreciate that.

Now this may be an unusual request but I would love to see a "map only" version of this software. Basically an easy way to add tilesets and sprites where them being dynamic or connected to a game engine is completely turned off and the map-making portion would become more user-friendly.

I am trying to create a map now with this software. I do not have programming experience so I've stayed out of .lua and am trying to do as much as I can with my limited ability. An analogy that may help is I'm trying to make colored circles in C++....total overkill. Now with that analogy, I could just use MS Paint. But here, I have not found another map making software that uses Zelda tilesets and sprites. That's what I'm after...not just an RPG map...a Zelda map. More specifically, a Link to the Past Zelda map (I know there's a map editor for the original Zelda game).

I've been able to get the tilesets from the expansion up and running (although I failed at getting user-created tilesets to load in a way I could use them). I can get SOME sprites into the map, but only the first "direction" of them. In other words, I can get a green rupee, but not a red one. I have tried changing the variation and blah blah blah you get the idea. I'm having a lot of trouble. This is overkill for my purposes since I have no plans to ever "play" my map. I just want to create a static version of it.

If you've ever played Warcraft 2, you're probably familiar with the map editor. That's exactly what I have in mind, except for Zelda tilesets and sprites.

So...is this possible?
