Malignus's 'How to Make Maps for Homeworld 2'
Make sure you do this in order; the map files are mostly divided into DetermChunk() and NonDetermChunk() portions, and it matters what goes where.
Tip: if you'd like to practice by editing other people's maps, but you haven't purposely downloaded any, you might find some in your "Bin\Profiles\levels\" directory. If you've played some custom levels online that were hosted by other players, then this is where Homeworld 2 will have stored them. -Mikail
Note: this tutorial deals primarily with making maps for multiplayer and CPU matches -- not singleplayer campaigns.
