I think this forum needs a topic. Very Happy

- How do I start to create a map?
- Are there tutorials?
- How to draw ruins, silos, trenches and other elements?
- Using Gimp, Photoshop or Paint?
- Are there object databases?
- Object turorials available?

Actually, there's a guide here on CCS. Cick on "content" in the "main menu" in the site's left column. Or "getting started" at the top of the page. Select "modding" and you'll see a "map making guide" by SouthernLand which is quite detailed. :ok2

Hi,

Tutorials are available on CCS
Don't draw anything unless you are familiar with CC and/or you are already an artist!
Paint Shop Pro. OF COURSE

First, use Copy/past on existing maps.

Download the map making guides...get familiar with how CC maps are constructed.
There's huge library of user made maps available...you can use these to cut-and-paste buildings, objects etc. You can also base your maps on existing ones of course.

CSO has a huge collection of textures/patterns for map painting.

You can also experiment with the Blitzkrieg Map Editor and Faces Of War Map Editor for more textures and ready made buildings and objects.

I use Photoshop...there's a PS plugin for PSP Tubes...but I haven't tried installing the plugin.
