Description
My team and I are collaborating on maps and we are not using .tmx format. However, when I open the JSON file we have in tiled, it doesn't display the map at all. Here's an example:
As you can see it's only showing gray things despite the tilesets loaded on the sidebar. Is there anyway I can send this to a private email or something?
EDIT:
For some reason, on specific maps, Tiled doesn't like it if the source is displayed like this:
"source":"..\/..\/..\/Archeia\/OMORI\/maps\/collision.json"
But if I change it to this format, it suddenly works ok.
"source":"collision.json"

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening a JSON map whose tileset source uses a relative path such as "../../..\/collision.json", then compare it with the working "collision.json" form. Trace how Tiled resolves the tileset source path; done means valid relative source paths load the tiles and render the map consistently.
