You do a search for 'tiles' in this forum and it'll tell you.

Nuttz appears to have taken the images down on the 'tile making 101' thread. :( That was THE best tutorial we had. There may be others.

Tile list is here: http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63771&highlight=tiles

Tiles that you make changes to need to be placed in a subfolder called         texsrc   this is in your terrain directory ( you'll need to make this folder )
This folder is also where you place all textured changed .bmp like those of planes etc.  also the clipboard map.

All these .bmp's need to be in 256 color or your TE will crash!

For real scale terrains, I use MapMaker and Photoshop. A link to mapmaker exists somewhere in this forum. :)
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Guess what!!!
I had taken the information from that post and put it into a wordpad format (complete with pictures).
I had emailed Nuttz just to make sure it was ok to do it and post the file here so that others could look at it. ( :D he didn't get back to me... hehehe )
That's ok, I'm sure since he posted it here in the 1st place, that he won't mind.

Anyway!  When I seen this post I went looking for it but couldn't find it and I thought that it had been lost.

JUST FOUND IT TODAY :)
