n1, but you forgot to tell people to screenshot/note the details after dev_overview 1 & tell them which ones go where in the txt. + that and itl be fine.

For some reason the word 'Origin' has been converted into a help link so just ignore that fact as this is a different kind of 'origin' to the one it is linking to :)

really good tut, i always wondered how this was done. GJ

p.s. the origin convertion is SPs glossary, any word listed will be automatically changed into a link directing you to the definition of the word in question. ;)

Takes a bit of time but it helps to complete the final version of the map you want to make.

Also the dev_overview 1 command is usefull when making your map
to check its size proportions.

I wish I knew how you could call up the overview after doing this, without having to do it all again.

but overall, thanks for a good tut.
