teach me how to map please

[Gannets]

I dunno if I can do that, but i do have some helpful tips.

First: Open up a finished map, so you can see how they're put together.

Second: Turn off the area layer, so you can actually get at the objects and turfs.



Third: Change your click behavior, because you almost always want to be adding a thing!

  

Now you can muss around with an already established map and get a feel for how the editor works, with lots of existing material to reference.
