<div class="IPBDescription">Every have problems and you just want...</div> to just try something out? Well while surfin the web i found this, its a pretty simple and does basic layout only. You create a BMP and then run bmp2map and creates a map <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

You can change alot of stuff inside that to what you prefer if you use that .cfg then a pure black creates a wall 24units tall. Just fool around with it. Also please note that it is better to use this for a basic layout and then build off it. Also only 16bit bmps work (well i think havnt tried anything else)
