NEWB Mapmaker Questions

[oldbone]

I am using this guide to help with the mapfile commands:
http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Mapmaking_manual

But, I haven't found a good guide on the TGA file yet. I think I read somewhere that a single WHITE border needs to exist between provinces so when you load the TGA into Dom3, it recognizes the provinces.

Is this my only choice? Make a TGA, then MANUALLY go in there to add the white lines? Are there any HEX generators that can do this easily for me? (kind of a side question)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
