Been trying to fix this issue of sprites getting split and nothing's worked. Do I need to use GIMP for this (I don't have photoshop)? If so, what do I need to do? Some help is appreciated. Thank you.
Anyone know how to fix this tileset issue?

Those are pictures intended for parallax mapping, they can't be used as tiles in the editor.
You need to reformat them into real tilesheets before they can be used for regular mapping.
That means removing all those extra spaces and restructuring the tiles into the correct grid with an image program like gimp. A lot of work but nothing critical as long as you know how to use grid and snap to grid functions. -
The splitting issue is just the way the editor handles B-E sheets. When viewing them in an image editing program, the sheet is 768 x 768. But the editor splits it in half vertically, putting the right half under the left half. This is likely so that it fits into the tileset viewing area. You can use an image editing program to fit them into the sheet so that it doesn't get split, or, just scroll down and select the other half and place it.

Any instructions on how to do that? Thanks for the reply by the way. -
@jsims8990 You and I posted at the same time, so I'm not sure you saw my reply as well. Do you have a link to the tileset you are using? It may not need any editing in Gimp. If it does, this tutorial should help you understand how to go about it. http://rmvxace.wikia.com/wiki/Combining_Tiles_in_Gimp
The only difference is that that was written for Ace, so you will need a grid of 48x48 for MV. Which, may be another issue with the tiles you are using - if they were made for Ace, they won't fit properly without modification, into an MV tilesheet. Ace uses a 32x32 grid. -

Did you resize this image at all when you saved it? How did you save or download the image? When I save the image from that blog, it is formatted correctly, the pieces are the correct size, and the are formatted on the sheet so as not to split the way they are for you. I can even see that the passability setting marks are different, which tells me the tiles on your sheet are different. (Mine is on the left, you can see the circles are centered over the 6 pieces of the blackboard, where your blackboard appears smaller.)
I would suggest deleting the file from your project, saving the file from the blog again and see if it works. -
I did not resize them at all. As for how I got them: I basically right-clicked and clicked save as.Did you resize this image at all when you saved it? How did you save or download the image?
