I've made a very simple tileset. However, when I import it into SSME, it's inverted horizontally. I've attached my bmp so you can take a look at it. I downloaded the SS palette and used it in Photoshop when converting. I'm not sure what could be wrong. :/

I suppose the tileset isn't exactly "inverted" so here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

This file does not have a complete palette (83 entries). Although it is a valid BMP, SSME expects all 256 palette entries. So it starts reading the pixel data (256-83) * 4 = 692 bytes after the pixel data actually starts.

Shame on ljc.

Do SS and ctm support partial palettes? Could reduce a lot of size from an uncompressed .lvl.

The palette is 256 RGBQUAD entries, which is only 1024 bytes. No big deal.

Ah, it's the bitmap data that makes up the rest of the 49k.

Actually, if you want to, you can shrink every map by removing the bitmap section. Of course, then you'd use the default tiles.
