You get pictures (try www.google.ca's image database) and copy them into the tile set ( should be a .bmp file with the .lvl) or you can make each tile with the tile set editor. To make it fast I open the tileset in paint and copy it in. Then I position it with the tileset editor to get enough space.

ok now how do i resize the pics?

If you open the .bmp in paint (Make sure you do not change the size of the tileset) Paste the image onto the tileset, use the select option and go around the sides of the image. You can then pull on the sides to expand it or to make it smaller. Save it, Open your .lvl in SSME and goto file/Import tileset. Then with the tileset window put it on the map. You can then open the .bmp in the editor and position it.


Edit: When ever you make changes to the tileset you have to import it on the .lvl before you'll see the new changes.
