Base Texture	Select the default texture.
HeightBitmap	Grayscale = default. The lowest height is  0, the highest is 255.
Multiple Height	Not supported.
Base Height	If you don’t specify a desired height in HeightBitmap, it will go to the  default. Default = 100.
World Width	Choose the units for world width and  height. The default is 5. 1 = 512 meters, which means 5 * 512 = 2560 meters.  This unit (5) is also related to the number of number of pieces the world  has. 5 * 5 means that the input is divided in 25 landscape folders. A file  named *.lnd will be made, divided into 25 files. 512 refers to 512 square  meters.
World Height
indoor	Expresses an indoor setting. No local  support.

       Step 1 : Files-> New World

Save Rgn(Region) File	Use a region file to store the  information. (save region info)
Save Lnd(Landscape) File	Save the landscape (save landscape info).
Save DDS Maps	Save as a .dds file. (saves each  landscape?)

The reason for theworld being divided into several files is that you can select each bit ofinformation that you want to be stored. It is also useful for when you workwith multiple people at once.

file:///C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image058.jpg

⑥     Revival Point – Resurrection point.

file:///C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image060.jpg

file:///C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image062.jpg

When a characterdies, the closest revival point is found. There are, however, distinctions inSaint Morning. If you die in Saint Morning, you may be closer to a spawn pointin a different area, which will cause you to be warped there even though you’re in Saint Morning..

To avoid issueslike this, use the Target Key feature. The target key causes a check for theKey Target, then the closest revival point. If Target Key is on, the distanceshould be disregarded and only Key target should be held accountable. You willbe spawned at Key target (Saint Morning). See the picture below for a betterexplanation.

file:///C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image063.gif

You’ll notice that the closest spawn point to the character is inFlaris, but since the character is in Saint Morning and Target Key is on, thecharacter is sent to the spawn point in Saint Morning.
