We are going to map bassically today. No big things like water. If you want my tutorial on pro, see me soon-to-come Mapping Tutorial(Section 1-1337-8464)
You need 5 things. A computer. Blockland. A brain. Mission editor. Flatlands.
Be in flatlands. Press F8. Now press F11. Lets make frosty grass on this boring grass eh? At the top, there should be a command bar. Click window. Now click the last one, Terrain Texture Painter. Now you click TTgrass01snow. To make your brush bigger or smaller, Click the brush button in teh command bar. Now I want to make the whole thing brown, but im not spreading teh dirt around the whole land. That takes to long. Click the change under the green grass in terrain texture painter. Choose any. Now the grass should change into what you chose. But now Im feeling like hills. Click the action button in the command bar. Click adjust hight. Make a few hills. But now I want these hills to be flat so I can build on them!Use the flatten tool in action to do that. Play with the rest. But dont freak out (like I did) when you set clear. Just use the Clear Empty tool.
Theres not much without going overboard into the intermediate. So im just going to teach you how to publish your map. :D Go into Mission Editor Inspector. Click on mission Info - Script Object. At the bottom, Right next to where it says apply, it should say Mission Info. Change that to your maps name. Click apply. Now click File-Save Mission As. It should pop up. Change the pull down bar on the top to addons. Now change the text bar at the bottom to your map name. Save it! Now go into your addons folder. Create a new folder in it. Name it Map_Yourmapname. Then elsewhere in the Addons folder you should find Yourmapname.mis and yourmapname.ter. I liek to call these the Mister files. Drag them bolth into your new folder you just created. Now take a good DOF picture of your map. Find that in your screenshots folder. Copy and paste that into Map_Yourmapname. Last thing. Make a new notepad document in map_yourmapname
it should say:
Title: Yourmapname
Author: Yourname
Author ID: YourBL_ID
Description: A descript of your map.
Thats it!
Questions and comments but PLEASE no flames.
