Modding the campaign map v1.5

[Aleric]

I've wanted to mod RTW for along time now and I am finally getting into it. I want to make a new campaign map for RTW v1.5. What do I need to do to do this? What programs do I need?

They are all easy to use. I made WarMap with an older version of paint.NET which meant that I needed all three programs to edit the TGA's. I needed the first one to import the tga's into paint.NET and irfanview to convert the edited files back into TGA's.

I think the newer versions of paint.NET will save as a TGA and may allow you to import either directly or via drag 'n' drop, if so you will only need to use paint.NET.

I had to fix em, also the map template will not work with 1.5, but you should be able to get an idea on how to make your own by looking at how DJ set it up.
