Bill101 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi Cantona You shouldn't need to move the map.txt anywhere after running mapgen.exe The file map.txt will be saved in the same folder as the mapgen.exe, and you just need to open it to take the first two numbers from it (as they represent the size of your map). Then open the editor, click on new, set the map size to be the same as the two numbers you noted down from the map.txt file, and then hit F5. It will then generate your map and you can now commence designing and playtesting it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill101 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The map needs to be saved as a file called source.bmp in the same folder as mapgen.exe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
