	To edit a map, you have to start your scenario in Editor Mode, which gives you access to various editing tools. You can start a scenario with or without players.

	When starting without players, the game starts paused and you have to open a viewport yourself via Viewport -> New.I recommend you to start with a player though, because the viewport scrolling bars are broken and you can navigate better with the camera following a clonk.<br>		When starting without players, the game starts paused and you have to open a viewport yourself via Viewport -> New.

 After hitting the Finish button, your scenario will most likely appear somewhere at the bottom, so press F5 to refresh and it will jump in it's place.
-Now expand your newly created scenario by clicking on the little arrow beneath it and open up the file called "Scenario.txt". This file contains information about the scenario that will be executed at startup ([http://docs.openclonk.org/en/sdk/scenario/scenario.html more information]).<br>

 Scroll down to the "[Landscape]" section and delete everything in it except ''MapWidth'' and ''MapHeight''. Those two values determine the map size. Changing them after having painted something won't have any effect, so choose them carefully. If you are not sure, think of a scenario which is about the size you would like yours to have and look up it's map size. This is how Scenario.txt looks like in my case:

 The landscape - also called map - is a fundamental part of any scenario. After you have finished the concept for your scenario and created the necessary files, creating a landscape is probably your first priority. In OpenClonk there are three ways to create a landscape, these are:

			The choice for either a static map or a generated dynamic map depends on the scenario design, adventures rather use static maps opposed to settlement rounds.

The landscape - also called map - is a fundamental part of any scenario. After you have finished the concept for your scenario and created the necessary files, creating a landscape is probably your first priority. In OpenClonk there are three ways to create a landscape, these are:
* Dynamic maps using Scenario.txt, which has the drawback of only having stretched and scaled sinusoidal landscapes. This is an obsolete feature and should rather not be used to create landscapes as they are boring.
* Static maps where a drawn landscape is stored in a Map.bmp file, where each pixel represents MapZoom pixels ingame. Check out this [[Tutorial: Dawing A Map|'''tutorial''']] if you want to learn how to draw and save static landscapes.
* Generated maps using a Landscape.txt file where you can create dynamic landscapes using complex algorithms. A lengthy tutorial about the map generator can be found [[Tutorial: Map Generator - The Basics|'''here''']].
