I'd like to get more info on how to make maps but also not just basic ground lifting and water making but also the real thing. Lava, deleting ground, maybe even models. The list below shows what I'd love if some people could help me get more knowledge on making maps. If i do then i can have better maps. I do not like to disappoint Blockland and that has happened with
Ikes Peak So if you can post below how to do the following. You can contact me either on my server when up, IRC on Blockland or send me a message on the forums. Thank you

The following are the problems I'd like to have help on and learn to make better maps:
Deleting terrain/ground in general I'd like to know how you delete the ground like in Build A Space Station, if i could do this i could make the map that in the pool i recently made people want a heaven map. I'd like to know how to make absolutely no ground.
LavaI know how to change the texture and place water but i don't know how to make the lava a kill zone/damage zone.Models+/color] I know there are programs out there and i know their names but I'd like to know how to learn the basics so i can do it in Blockland easily.
Textures I'd like to know if i could have some textures, i do have some custom ones but I'm seeing mine aren't "good enough" If anyone could chip in a few that'd be nice.
Post below if you wish to help me.. I'd really appreciate it if you did and the next map i make, if the tip comes in handy, you will get credit. Thank you for your time.
