#1. Where can i get a map editor?
You can download a mapeditor at News - Remere's Map Editor (RME) - An Open Source Map Editor for Open Tibia

#2. Are there any tutorial's that can help me improve?
Yes, you can find them in the art tutorial section(Art Tutorials)

#3. Where can i post my screen shots?
In the mapping board, Mapping

#4. How do i use extensions?
Extension's are easy to implant, by going to the following path.

C:\Program Files\Remere's Map Editor\extensions

If you've downloaded the file this is where you place, in order to replace other extensions you can use the example below:

#5. My border's have changed. (Extension Problem)
This mean's your border.xml file has been edited, the way to fix this is by going into a previous version of borders.xml (The one included when you download RME)

Link can be found here.

Let's say your grass borders are switching to the newer version, replace your current grass code.

Press CTRL + F and find "Grass Border" Then replace it with the following code.

	<border id="2" group="1"> -- grass border --
		<borderitem edge="n"   item="4542"/>
		<borderitem edge="e"   item="4543"/>
		<borderitem edge="s"   item="4544"/>
		<borderitem edge="w"   item="4545"/>
		<borderitem edge="cnw" item="4546"/>
		<borderitem edge="cne" item="4547"/>
		<borderitem edge="csw" item="4548"/>
		<borderitem edge="cse" item="4549"/>
		<borderitem edge="dnw" item="4550"/>
		<borderitem edge="dne" item="4551"/>
		<borderitem edge="dsw" item="4552"/>
		<borderitem edge="dse" item="4553"/>
	</border>

#6. I can't rotate my walls using Z or X.
This is common problem, RME sometimes takes a couple of minutes before you can rotate object's, if this doesn't work a simple restart will.

#7. Creating Chest Ids.
Set the actionID of the chest to 2000, and give the uniqueID a random number that you haven't used for another quest, like 44928. Then put the items in the chest you want them to get, and you're done.

#8. Creating Door Ids.
Set your actionID of the door too 1000+the level.

Example.

1000 is the standard code.

For level 50 quest we have.

1050

Simple as that.

#9. Ctrl + Z won't work.
This fixes after a couple minutes of having RME open.

#10. What do the the file type's mean?

Mapname.OTBM - This is your map, the core map itself.

Mapname-Spawn.xml - This is the file where all your creatures location's are stored.

Mapname-House.xml - This is the file where all your house tiles and names are stored.

#11. How do i put my map into a server?

Example

E:\Server Distro\cryingdamson5-console\data\world

#12. How do i upgrade / downgrade my map to a new client version?

In the top menu bar, go to Map > Properties > Client Version.

#13. How do i import one map to another?

File > Import > Import Map

Than choose the location you'd like it to be imported at.

#14. Mountain Stairs won't work.

This is because your missing the invisible tile above the stairs.

The itemID is: 459.

#15. How do i post in game screen shots of my map?

Link to tutorial.

#16. How to setup your RME map editor, so it's easier to use.

Improving RME Experience

#17. What's the difference between RME and Simones?

RME is the mostly used map editor due to it's auto border and doodad function, Simones map editor was the first editor to be introduced to the Open-Tibia World but isn't as easy to use as RME.

#18. RME Freezes or Lag's, What's wrong?
This can be due to the size of your map, the larger ones create a lot of lag, or having too many programs open at once, try closing some programs down. If this still doesn't help it means your computer doesn't have the necessary RAM to run the map editor.

#19. How do i use custom items in my map editor?
(Yet Implanted)

#20. How do i rotate an item in the map editor?

2. Then open a new map (Go up to file then new)
3. Now you have a empty map open, Click "File" again but and click import.

Hi,
I know how to fix the "unsupported client version!" Question
Just do like the following steps tell you.
1. Open your map, If it tell you "unsupported client version!" click ok
2. Then open a new map (Go up to file then new)
3. Then you got a new map open, Click now on "File" again but now Import
Import your map then it should work!
If it dosin't work just PM me.
