I'm back and have a few questions. I have spent most of my time looking at the map editor and been having blast. But I have a few things I don't under stand 1. I went to the path of the farm maps and added a new map. And then went and edited to what I wanted. I've made about five farm maps. But when I play the game and and take a ship down in the farm area, none of my maps load. Is this just bad luck, or did I do it wrong? 2. When making a new map (farm) can I use tiles from say an urban terrain. I know I can't edit a current map like this or it messes up, but sence none of my maps load, I don't know if I can do it with a new map. 3. Last one is on spawning. Does it matter what number spawn I use. Because on the default maps they keep jumping from 1 to 10. Is it like the higher the number the more chance of an alian spawning there. I would be happy with any help, so I can get back to creating maps.

right now I only know html, which doesn't really help me out in this field. I do want to know these types of programming, whether it be binary, hex or any other programming that can help me out. so if anyone could point me in the direction of some online tuturiols that I can learn from that would be great. I downloaded the editors this morning, so I'm off to have fun.

Thanks for the help, I have been searching the web on how to do this for sometime. It will take 3 hours to download the .net thing(crappy diel-up) so I will have to wait till tomorrow to start. where do I find the MCD editor, is it on the site some where. thanks again ~Spartan012

I would like to mod xcom ufo defence but don't know where to start. If I need a certain program, or need to learn a programming code. I'm not talking just editing the stats of things , I want to edit the images and stats. I want to make my own weapons, base facilities, soldiers, and maps. YOu probably get this asked alot, but please take the time to help out a beginner. ~ Spartan012
