This document describes how to edit a world map.

EDITING WORLDMAP TILES

To edit a World Map, please use FlexLay. Thought it might have problems with the editing of level and special tiles, since it isn't sync with CVS.

INTRODUCTION

These things are always changing, so if even 0.1.x has something like something described here, it might have a different name or be used in a different way.

Stuff prefixed by a ';' are comments.
