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.
- A helpful tip is to name the area as if you were using a ResRef instead.
- 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.
