Hi all, I am keen to start making some maps for multiplayer games and I was wondering if there are any guides to using the editor anywhere?

It took me over 2 hours to work out the only image format accepted by the map image import is targa 24 bit with alpha (even though the alpha seems to do nothing) but I am still puzzled as to how it represents pixel information versus map information. There seems to be no correlation between colour and height in the terrain after import. Best I can do is black and white, white for sea and black for land.

I am attempting to bring in a greyscale DEM file of the British Isles, but alas all I get is two smudges. I have tried reduced palettes, grey scale, inverted and all I ever get is smudges. When I use the editor to paint the brush tends to jump around a bit instead of painting where I click so I really need some good info on the import. Things like if it is a specific palette, what does each colour represent? What size image for what size map etc. etc.

Can anyone provide example images for map importation - or better, would the devs stick some in the scenarios examples folder?

Would love to start making things but it is difficult to finds support for this EX version.
