Who said the max tiles in a map is 16?

I've seen alot of people say the maximum tiles on a map is 16, some say 24, well I got it to 27, and It isn't the maximum as I'm not using only cliff tiles.

here is the current tileset I'm using for my RPG:

tell uys how this is done. we want to know. we cant seem to get it work. we are talking liek the hivemind. we liek to talk like this.

Looks like 16 to me, some of those just take up 2 spaces...

16 is the max (16x4 = 64) which is the max amount of characters able to be put into the tileset part of a map.

oh ok, thats what I didn't know, 16 is the tile limit, limited by zepirs editor but 32 is the actual tile size limit. But is 16 a real limit, or is it just because Zepirs editor is limited?

DeSty-

It's a real limit. Potentially you can make more, but because of the way tilepoints are defined you'd have to rewrite the map header from scratch, and I sincerely doubt even that would make any great difference.
