Autotile Tile IDs
Introduction This was something I was bored enough to experiment with and learn a little more about. Okay, it was more like I had to since I'm writing a Tile Substitution / Placement script that -- as of this writing -- will be up very soon. Some of the information here is probably a no-brainer to those who worked with autotiles before.
Autotile Indexes Normal Autotile Indexes Each autotile contains 48 (ranges from 0..47) different tiles which appear in different directions. I have put together a list that explains all 48 of them should you ever want to use this information in some way. Here they are:

Formulas Now you're probably wondering, "okay, now what?" So say you need to call them or change them through the $game_map.data[x, y, i] = value call and you need to use an autotile for some reason. See, autotiles can't shape themselves, so you need to find the tile ID that best suits where you're putting a particular autotile. Now if you can't be bothered to remember all of the tile IDs and such (and honestly, I can't say I blame you because I wouldn't either), then you can use a quick formula for each tileset.
Formula for Tile A1 - Tile A4 2048 + (48 * autotile) + index Autotile: 0..127 Index: 0..47
Formula for Tile A5 1536 + (column + (row * 8)) Column: 0..7 Row: 0..15
Formula for Tile B - E (256 * set) + (column + (8 * row)) Set: 0: B, 1: C, 2: D, 3: E Column: 0..7 Row: 0..31
