I'm sort of hamstrung, but I finally got SoM on a computer that will work all the way with it (WinXP with hardware accelerated graphics disabled -- for the map graphics preview box)
Anyway, the map-editor seems like a nightmare. I will look for some tutorials but in the meantime I could use any advice in using it. For one, just clicking on the map tends to scar the map by default!? With only one chance to undo. I will try to look for guides, but it seems hard to just pick a square and find out what is going on there...
From the looks of games like DoM I would guess you can layer map elements somewhat, but on the other hand I'm not so sure. Anyway, whoever thought of this way of creating a level must've been a sadist
PS: Are there really no hotkeys?? Do you really have to do everything with a mouse!? And how do I copy a tile, if clicking on it immediately changes it
(oh, nvm... discovered shift+click...)
