Its a silly question, and please, mods or whoever, feel free to delete this topic once the question is answered but, how do you actually start? See, i use the WB often but I just goof around in it. I have pretty well established knowledge of mapping itself but I have no idea about its administration.

What my question is. How do I start. How do I set up my files, how do I save what I made so I can work on it later. Pretty much all that needs to be done in order to make a map, besides the creative work itself? If you know what I mean. I watched a number of the tutorials here but they dont exactly cover that.

Yesterday, I made a basic layout with splines, you know, just drew roads and riverbeds and such to know if things fit, saved it and today I cant access it.

So, how do I start?

Thanks

Do mappers never read old topics?

before you open the worldbuilder go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes
and remove all .module type files except for RelicCoH, RelicDLC1/2/3 and RelicOps
(place them back when you're done mapping or your mods wont work)

then start the worldbuilder

save the map here (preferably in its own folder to stop having it become a mess)
C:\Users\"user"\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\ww2\data\Scenarios\MP

before you can save your map needs to be playable.
place at least 2 starting_positions and 2 map_entry points owned by player 1 and 2.
then go to to the territory editor and place calculate voronoi.


but yeah, you could have also just read the old topics or any tutorial about coh mapping.

I did read them...and they didnt explicitly say anything about saving a map...lots of stuff about weather options and about other things...

Thanks for that info..
