How do i use the level editor to create basic levels

[CDWJB24007]

I am having real trouble designing a level in eclipse, how do you add things like roads and water, and how do you avoid covering the screen when adding a map. Is there anyone who can give me a step by step process of adding items so i can create a basic level.

Try looking in the tutorials.

Always look in the tutorials before asking a question. odd are they already have the answer

To add roads, water, and other items: Eclipse only comes with a little graphics installed to encorage people to make or get their own. You can find tiles by googling "RXMp tilesets" and then putting them in data files/graphics/tilesets/ (or something of the sort.)

As for the map editor, no. I mean, if not show up on the screen, how would you map?

Editing Items:
1\. Type /edititem
2\. Make a new item.
3\. Decide how you want your item to appear. If it should be on an NPC, go to 4a. If it should be on the map, go to 4b.
4a. Type /editnpc and make your NPC. There should be a section allowing you to choose the drops.
4b. Go to /editmap, click Attributes (bottom-right, where you find the Blocks and all). Click item, select your item, and click the map to lay it down. You're done, don't read on.
5\. If you picked the NPC, put the NPC on the map by clicking Properties, then NPC, select your NPC. Save. Then go to Attributes and click NPC spawn. Lay it down.

Done!
