Map editor tutorial

[Dr.InfernO]

Hello guys this is my first post here so I hope you won't kil me for asking this!

Is there any tutorial of makeing maps? I mean I couldn't find any help for it!
What tools do I need for creating a map, exept the conv tools?
I started searching for a mapeditor because i wanted to convert an old TA Map (64x64) for TA:S.

The wiki is your friend for any documentation you want. A good place to start is in there. There is many tutorials in the Making Maps section of the wiki. Most of them are good, and some even supply pictures.

When planning a map, see aGorms excelent write-up Here.
For making a map in an image editor, see my tutorial Here.
For a complete tutorial on everything to do with making map, go Here. This tutorial is unorganised and hard to follow, but EVERYTHING is in there somewhere.
For planning the resource balance, have a look Here.


If you need any more help after that, feel free to come back and ask. We are here to help.
