Hello everyone! Newbie mapmaker and online newbie guy here.
So I set off to explore the map editor, and decided what would be excellent, is a complete glossary of all the terms/buttons and other important things that has to do with both Editor functions and map making that would be organized in the fashion that the Editor presents users with.
EDIT: To be clear, I am talking about a compilation, as in a guide. A written guide.
Basically, it's looking from top to bottom at the editor, saying this does that, and if you click this you end up here, and here you have these buttons which do this and that.
No function should be a mystery, and should be explained in layman's term for people like me.
Now I'm going to do this project ANYWAY for my own personal self, word file and categorized, I just thought that maybe, there are others like me, and maybe it would benefit a lot of people.
Here's the gist, I have two things:
1) If possible, I would like to create an additional ONLINE backup of this thread, and truth be told, this seemed to be the most appropriate place for this.
Yes I already have a word backup file for this, I know, but I have only one Online version of this.
2) By doing so, people, if they are as mad as I am, would be able to help contribute on both sides, a contribution which would be really appreciated because of time constraints, IQ constraints and technical constraints. And here I'm assuming you people really know this editor inside out, so the best people to turn to for my mad, mad project.
Again the objective here, is to create a "What's this button do?" thread, organized in the way the Editor organizes it. People confused can CTRL+F search their term, they can cycle through the categories to explore all facets, and they would be able to scan the thread and take notes on the functions they find interesting and that they might want to keep in mind.

Thanks again!
Nice :)
However I think it's missing some screenshots.

EDIT: Ah I see, misunderstood.
Well, I'm actually not sure how to post screenshots. Good idea though, I should look into how to post screenshots.

No, he meant screen shots in the guide. . .

Incidentally, can I repost the thread here, or do I keep it there?
