You don't need any external programs to make a terrain. They are only used to make things easier.

A little detailed information, such as what have you done and what you expect to see would be helpful to someone trying to help you.

for your clipboard map to work in the terrain, you need to create a folder in your terrain folder called texsrc. Open the TE and select "Make Map". In your terrain folder you will see a file called map.bmp. rename that so it is the same as your terrain for example: Terrain1.bmp. Now put that in the texsrc folder.

Before you put in texsrc folder you must change the color size to 256 from 16 million, if you don't editor may crash or map won't show in clipboard after you build.

Don't worry guys. I e-mailed him a tutorial. He shouldn't be asking this again unless he got confused on the way out of that 100,000 word tutorial:rofl
