The area wizard is used when you want to generate a new area for your module.


An area is created using the area wizard as follows:

  • First enter the name of the area.
    • A helpful tip is to name the area as if you were using a ResRef instead.
      • The reason for this is that once an area is created, you cannot change the ResRef ever again.
      • This name is also copied into the tag as well, so make sure the name is in uppercase for consistency.
    • The name can be changed easily later once the area has been created to be more display friendly.
  • Next select the tileset that you want to use.
  • Now set the size of the area.
    • This can either be done either by typing the number for the height and width directly (from 2x2 to 32x32),
    • or by selecting one of the options: tiny (2x2), small(4x4), medium(8x8), or large (16x16).
  • Lastly select whether you want to launch the properties dialog and/or open it in the area viewer.
