This is a placeholder page.
It will eventually detail the basics of map editing, such as where to get Sandbox 2, how to load MWLL's assets & pre-fabricated assets (prefabs) into the editor and ways of creating terrain. Some tips & tricks, such as planning your terrain before adding structures, capture zones, etc. etc. will be mentioned.
- Make sure the path of the editor shortcut you use ends with the command switch -mod mwll, otherwise it will not work properly. Place this switch at the end of the file the shortcut points to.
- Most heightmaps are generated as 4096 x 4096 units in size, using a scaling of 2 metres per unit.
- To load MWLL's prefabs into the editor, go to View > Open View Pane > Database View, click the Prefab Library tab and locate mwll_assets.xml. They will then appear under the Prefab section on the right-hand pane.
