Re: MapEditing Faq anuwhere?
I'd also be very glad to see some good mapmaking walkthroughs on the text commands, because the map_edit.pdf that comes with the game is so barebones that aside from the tables in it it takes all of twenty minutes to memorize it.
It's also annoying that not nearly all of the switches for terrains are listed (such as many_sites, nostart etc), which makes it a real ***** to modify those settings in the map file later. If you modify it through the map editor and save under the same name, it will wipe out everything you had typed in by hand and there will be just the terrain settings, land names and neighbor lists in the file when you open it again in a text editor, something I learned the hard way a couple of days ago.
