How do I create a map from scratch from the image file?

I heard some people use the actual image and edit it from there, but I duno how.. Would be nice if someone told me how to.

 

Do you mean the duel.png, all you have to do is create the terrain, tents or whatever using the different colours in the palette.

As long as you use the right colours and the name of the file is correct it should work fine.

 

To find the maps folder:
1)
- Right-click KAG shortcut
- Open File Location
- Click "Base" folder
- Click "Maps" folder
2)
- Computer
- (C: ) / Main disk
- Users
- Owner/Username
- KAG
For the default location
3)
- Click windows key
- Search for the map/file in searchbar

How to create the map:
Perhaps the easiest way
- Copy existing map/Clone
- Name it something else (Not really nessecary)
- Open the map in any image-editing software
- Clear the map
- Start drawing
- Click save

To add the map to any mapcycle:
I'll use RTDM (gamemode) as an example.
- Open desired mapcycle location
For RTDM:
- Click "Base" folder
- Click "Rules" folder
- Click "RTDM" folder
- Open "RTDMMapCycle.cfg" in any text-editing software
- Add the map after the "mapcycle = "
Ex;

If the map is in a folder =
Ex;

If anywhere else, just direct it to that folder.

How to create a mapcycle
Easiest way would just be to:
- Copy an existing mapcycle
- Clear the maps (after 'mapcycle = ')
- Add your own

To use it in a gamemode
- Click "Base" folder
- Click "Scripts" folder
- Open "dedicated_autostart.gm" in any text-editing software
- Replace the mapcycle after "LoadMapCycle" under your desired gamemode
Ex;

Note: Simply direct it to your mapcycle. Don't remove the "
