Do Not Rename Your SMT

MapConv takes the first part of the "-o mapname.smf" to determine the name of the smt file (namely mapname.smt), a reference to this "mapname.smt" is stored in the smf file as where to look for tile images. This means you can rename you smf and smd files, but are unable to rename the tile file.
