Question About Cartographer's Table

Need Help with Custom Maps

from Elemental Forums

I have an idea for a mod I'd like to do that would require an original map.  I tried starting one in the cartographer's table, I made a large blank map so I could start from scratch.  It looked like it was all water, which was fine, but I couldn't figure out how to start adding land to it.  I tried selecting some different tiles, but no matter what buttons I pressed I couldn't get anything to come up on the grid.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if its something with the program.  Is there any documentation on map making yet?

Right mouse tends to place a selected land tile. 

There also needs to be an easier way of painting large tracts of desert or snow etc.. without doing it a single square at a time.

The ability to mouse scroll around a map when zoomed out to the cloth map would be nice to as the only way to do it atm seems to be zooming in an out to the mouse pointed in order to move it which is increidbly frustrating.

You can use + and - on the numerical keypad to change brush size, hope this helps.
