Your First Map

And now we will make new map start console and write *new

Adding tiles:

Click on card Tile and choose type of tiles,to put in on map , you must right click your mouse , it will change into thing that you wanted and then you can place it into map.
You can use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy your tiles , but remember you must have pressed button at right side of panel called Tiles,it will allow you to make with tiles.There is one advice! Dont place two tiles on them because it will be like on 2238 encounter , tiles will "run" on all map.

Adding walls/sceneries:

Then you can create walls , click on card Walls , choose type of walls and then make some room.
You can add some sceneries to your room like computer , vents, posters containers etc...

How to make doors(containers)/how to lock them:

To make doors you must just find type of walls which have place for doors then open C/D and choose right doors
EDIT:If you want to lock doors , just put somewhere into map key , you will see panel which is popping up everytime when you put something in map.At bottom of panel there is LockerDoorID.....0 put some number like LockerDoorId....1234
Now click on doors and panel will again pop-up do the same LockerDoorId....1234 and there is also LockerComplexivity(it is what amount of lockpick you need to open those doors)
For example type there LockerComplexivity....300-you need 300 lockpicks to open those doors without key.


Adding items to critter/container:

When you click on critter or container you will see that center panel have choosed INV.Now you can press card Arm,Wep or something other and add thing into that critter/container by clicking on and holding ALT , same thing when you want to put them out from critter/container.

FAST-
Blockers/Scrollblockers:
Click on card Fast , you will now see many types of blockers grids enter positions blablabla...

There is list of blockers: Green "S"-You can see through it , you can shoot through it but you cant go through it...
DarkGreen"W"-You cant see through it, you cant shoot through it , you cant go throuhg it...
White"S"-Its scrollblocker, you must place it on ends of map.
Edit-It must be rectangular!

Light bulp- it makes light:)
Ent/Eg-Enter grid is place where you will respawn after going into map.
Exit grid is place where you need to go to leave map.

You must do it similar how it is made on screenshot to avoid errors with your map!.
