– One sprite, you can draw one or use this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37728882/Regal.png

-Create one 512×1024 png and save it as TileObjects[word], for example TileObjectsPresent. I recommend setting the grid to 64×64 pixels.
-Place your sprite in a 64×128 space. You can use the modtools\TileObjects.png as a reference. Save.

-Copy the TileObjects[…] into the modtools file

-Place your map into the modtools file
-Open Tiled, open the map
-Go to Map -> New Tileset
-Press browse and select the tile (don’t touch the name)
-Change the tile height to 128

-Search your new tile
-With right click-> tile propieties… set the propieties of your new tile(look the default tiles as reference). In this example I will give to my tile two propieties:
solidtrans and container|crate (it will work like a crate).
