Hello!

I was looking for "Clem's guide to mapmaking", does anyone know if it still exists somewhere "out there" ?

I did find his colormapping walkthrough, but that's not what I was looking for.

if you want the texture files referenced in the guide, download the zip version (link at the top of the article)

Thanks!

Now I see, I may have mixed things up, it's probably "Magellan's mapmaking guide" I was thinking about. Need to refresh my memory on this stuff.

Now that I think about it there's one thing, how do I put together several maps in the same file? Like if I have a map and I want to include different versions with different units on them?

Duplicate the mesh tag and give it a different name. Then attach it to a different string list that gives it the name users see.
