This is covered in detail in the HELP FILE and has been asked many times in the TE forum. If you would have looked at this thread posted on 4/26 you would have found a short answer
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=115038 You should try using the search function. But, I'll cover it one more time in detail....
Open your map in the terrain editor.
Select Make Map and fill in the size and any other info you need to and click OK.
Using Windows Explorer go to Program Files/HTC/aheditor/terrains and then select the folder name of your map.
For this example we'll call it iwojima
On the top menu in explorer, select File, then select New, then New Folder.
Name the new folder texsrc
Now, start PSP and open the MAP.BMP for your terrain.
Which for this example should be in Program Files/HTC/aheditor/terrains/iwojima
On the PSP menu, select Colors, then select Decrease Color Depth, then select 256 Colors (8 bit).
On the pop-up window just click OK.
Now select File, Save As
Select the texsrc folder you created earlier
In the name box put the SAME NAME as your map. In this case iwojima
Click Save
Exit PSP
Start the Terrain editor and open your map.
You'll now see your map in the lower right window.
Select File and then Build
You know what to do with the .res file once it's built.
The rest is up to you. Polishing up the way the map looks is up to you. You need to decide what needs to be changed, colored differently, resized, lighting etc.
