Guys, I spent several hours combing through the map bilding discussion thread and about half of the Slot WIP thread, and compiled a collection of quotes, almost in a FAQ type format, which I would be more than willing to share and even shepherd along into some sort of guide document. The only thing is I am just now learning map building, and am far from knowledgeable. So most of the editing would need to come from the masters here.
It's in MS Word format now and I would be happy to e-mail or upload it, and we can start piecing it together. Right now IMHO what it really needs is just some simple narrative - what the file format of a map folder is, what each file is/does, and how that file is made (in very basic terms). Then the collected qutes can follow. I;ve already got everything grouped in terms of which map file the advice applies to, and which subject within that map (i.e., coastlines, forests, airfields, etc.)
