You'll also need to create a mapping for tilesets (1.13WF607 -> OMERTA to AFS -> OMERTA), you can use the auto map feature to get some of the tiles in alignment but the tilesets are quite different so you'll need to fix a bunch of things by hand.

The 'NINTHOSTRUCT' group is causing the most trouble, the closest thing in the AFS tileset to the tall grass is the "WEEDS" tile group. You can save a few clicks by selecting the first item in the 'NINTHOSTRUCT' group then ctrl-clicking the 'WEEDS' group - all tiles from the second group will be mapped starting at the currently selected tile. You'll need to do this twice, since there's less tiles in the 'WEEDS' group.

Another tip, you don't need to remap everything since many tilesets (like OMERTA) are limited to just one or two maps. Inspect the map in the converter, switching between the original and remapped views, and focus on the parts that look wrong in the remapped view. After you change the mapping you'll need to reload it in the converter before you see the changes.

Then again, since AFS doesn't come with its own maps, maybe you can simply replace AFS tilesets with the ones from WF607, AFAIK the only thing you'll need to preserve somehow are the ground images for AFS items. There's a "Ja2Set.dat.xml.AFS" file in the WF mod, maybe that has something to do with it. Then you'd only need to remap the items, although that way you'd have to convert all the maps that contain items to avoid any glitches.
