CCME Manual : Creating a Map



C r e a t i n g___a___M a p




Creating a map with C&C Mission Editor is very simple. The instructions
that follow are easy to understand and learn and so you will soon realise how simple
creating the map terrain is. While you are generating your map you will be able to
change the theatre of the mission by selecting a different theatre from the Theatre
menu, once you place anything other than map terrain in your map you will no longer
be able to change the theatre.


Menu Selection Select the tile set you require from the Terrain menu,
the graphics for this set will now be displayed in the
terrain section of the window.
.
Tool Selection Once the set you want is visible you'll need to have
either the Pencil or the Eye-Dropper tool selected
before you can choose any of the pieces.
The Pencil tool is the best to do the next stages with.

.
Template Selection Now that you have the correct tool you can select a
piece ready for positioning on the map. To do this click
the template in the terrain section with the mouse, this
sets that template to the current object to place.
.
Placing a Template To place the now selected template go to the map
section with the cursor, you will see that the piece
you chose is tracked to the cursor. When the piece
tracks to the position you want click once to fix it to
that position.

Continue this process until you have made your map.
