SP Tutorial World Map How to make Campaign Maps

[Specialist]

My stuff is saved as a bmp... but I can't get it to import....

I have a question, what about for locations that aren't real or have no map. We still have to make those by hand and how would we go along doing that? Do you think you could post a tutorial on how to make maps that are not real? Sorry if this was already posted, I only read the first page.

Just draw it yourself. I had to. It's not that bad.

i apologise if this has already been covered, but i am using someone else's map and am not sure how to move the red borders (there is also a yellow border?), how do i do this?

Many thanks.

Maybe it's too big. Been there, done that. Tried to make a full map of the world.

It's been a while since I modded M&B, so I don't really remember what the notepad is called, but in your Mod folder there's a notepad file, the same one you use to add weapons into the game after adding their Res and Tex. Modify the numbers of X and Y, or something like that.

And sorry for my long absence guys, lost interest in M&B.

Sorry should have posted that I solved that issue, but thanks anyway.

I can't imagine that it would be too big... My map was 400x300, and it wouldn't import or export.

mine was just the native map edited...

It may also be that I have Vista and the directory protection, but I gave Thorgrim's full rights.

Make sure it is saved as RGB(1) and in 24 bits(2)

[list type=decimal]
[*] in gimp go to this menu: Image/Mode and click RGB
[*]save it as bmp hit advanced in the menu that pop ups and select the 24 bits radio button
[/list]

Hey guys! I'm back. Now I can tend to these problems.

1. You probably forgot to import your colour map (for your terrain and stuff).
2. If you're talking about the sharp mountains, you should probably blur them down in your image editing program (GIMP, Photoshop, MS Paint (hopefully not  ), etc)

Edit: Btw, is that the Aegean Sea?

You can't in the Editor unless you edit your map in a M&B version before 1.010 (Vanilla), then transfer the map.txt and parties.txt (you'll also have to transfer the parties.txt over to your Vanilla file so that WB villages and towns don't disappear). Otherwise, you'll have to manually it with module_parties.py.

I was right! 

What's the mod called? Oh, and no problem, it was a pleasure to help.

Also, where do you get your maps? I can't find any with lakes and rivers.

quick question, i putted the BMP files in the Mapeditor/Mapdata file but when i start the editor and try to load one, there is standing nopes, isn't it the right file kind or?

Uh... Sorry, I can't understand what you're saying, but I'll give it a shot.

My guess is that nothing happens, right? How big is the image?
