Welcome to cncgeneralsworld.

Making a map isn't hard at all. Might I suggest you start with a basic tutorial  and If you have any specific questions or need more help let us know.

okay thanks but one thing

i got the world builder up but all of those letters arent there??? ❓

---

I assume you're talking about the letters Fleetatks put below the toolbar to explain what each button does. They're not part of World Builder, just added for the tutorial.

ohhh i see umm one last question (for now) how do you make a river??? cause i cant figure out
💀

---

Again Fleetatks has covered this issue in a tutorial .

i know but i dont know how to raise it..

p.s. you reply fast lol😄

---

You'll see a blue area line; click on this line and the properties window will come up where you adjust the height.

oh thanks i see now.

but seriously how do you reply so fast❓


And wat is the orange line????

sorry for all of the questions lol but thanks for answering

---

The orange line is the active border line. DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE... or your map won't work. As far as replying fast, I subscribe to deferent forums and when a new message is posted, I receive an email.

How do you pick the spot where the people start out

am i bugging you with all of theese questions??? just wondering

---

Many of your questions are answered in the basic tutorial I mentioned earlier. But start positions are placed with the waypoint tool and labeled with the dropdown window.

Bugging me? No.
I enjoy teaching what I know and learning from others here. That's what this forum is for.

lol k. just making sure.

but yeah thanks i would never have gone in there lol

edit: hold on i went to the waypoint menu and its all blank is that normal???


nevermind i was in the wrong waypoint lol

edit: 😄 hey thanks Drummin for everything you really helped. 😁

---

please use the edit button multiple times instead of posting 3 times within 20 minutes.

---

sorry i will start lol

edit: okay now somethings messed up...i made the map and saved it went to Generals, did skirmish and played. but RIGHT when i start it says im victorius????❓ do i need to do something else?

---

Did you add skirmish players?
Please look through the tutorial on making your first map. I think you'll find many of your questions will be answered.

When you add units to the map from one the 13 factions, a window comes up telling you to add a new player. If you added a new player, it will interfere with the skirmish scripts. Which is what is causing the victory. So go to the Player List (Edit > Edit Player List) & delete all players there accept the PlyrCivilian. (When a warning come up saying so & so units belong to the player, just click Yes.) Then add the skirmish players. Now go to all the buildings & units that you added under one of the faction & change their team to teamPlyrCivilian.

To prevent these players from being created & when you want to place a unit from one of the factions, change the Default Owner to teamPlyrCivilian, then place the object.

Ha so true Pi,
I suppose adding skirmish players before adding any units or buildings would prevent this as well because the players would already be listed. Adding skirmish players is always one of the first things I do when making a map as most of the objects placed belong to the civilian player.

thanks ill see if it works


so is there a way to extend the orange line?? or atleast some way to make your map bigger

---

Yes iruleull,

There is two parts to doing this.
PART 1
In world builder, go to "File" and in the dropdown menu you'll see "Resize..."
Notice on the "Resize" window the area that says anchor square. This represents where your current map will be when you resize the map. For example: Select the center and the map will be added to on all sides. Select the bottom-left and the map will be added on the top and right. In most cases, you don't need a border of more than 10.

PART 2
Once you've resized the map, you need to move the orange active border. Under the category "View" you should have "Show Map Boundaries" checked so you can see any borders. Click "Ctrl i" and you should see a blue band around your map. This is where your orange border should be. Click the border tool on the right side of your toolbar. Left-click and HOLD down the top-right corner of the orange border and drag it up to match the blue band.

If you make another border (color) on accident, drag it all the way to the bottom-left
to remove it. DON'T remove the orange border.
That should do it.
