Change Map Tileset

[Leon 55]

Okay, this script allows you to change the current tileset with another one. Sounds like something you wouldn't want to do, but it is great for 3 big things:

1. Create bridges using a duplicate tileset and a simple command.

2. Mountains with real depth.

3. Change the appearance of a tileset. (for instance, make it look more demonic without needing a new map to teleport to.)
