Palim Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hey guys, i want to try the mapping tool, so far i have figured out how to build a house (yay!) but i wonder how to create (or import) a blank map to design? Ive searched for that, but most of the posts or videos are totaly outdated (1-2 years) and im stuck at this point. Can anyone help me out a little? Also i watched a video which told me to start the TileZed, then go to options and change the saving option to CSV. Whats the point of that? Do i have to take notice of something else? I dont wanna end up losing hours and hours from building stuff to realize i messed up any option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoquent Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The pdf in this thread was very helpful to me to get started with "drawing maps". Though its a bit old, its not really outdated. Maybe there are a few additional steps at the end of map deployment for "new" stuff like trapping (I didn't check if thats already in there) but the basics should still be the same.

Palim Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I have already found that pdf, but im stuck at it for an hour now.I have created a "map" with paint with 600x600 pixels, just filled it with the gras color (117,117,47) and saved it as .png and .bmp.Followed the steps but i cant drag it onto my empty cells. Did i saved them wrong?I see them in the WorldEd program, but i cant drag them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomiboi Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 This is probably the most common problem with new mappers, make sure you also have the "map_veg.bmp" correctly named with the correct colors (in the pdf) and in the same folder as the "map.bmp".

My last question for today is, i cant save the world to test it.I created a folder for the .lots filesI set the Zombie Spawn Image like the guide told mebut then there is a field to choose a Tile Definitions Folder (.tiles) - so here is my problem.
