So, new at this (not playing the game) just creating a new region/map/file. Images below is what I want to do. The image of the folder, which I tried to create, but, does not show up when I load the game.. I think it has something to do with this config.BMP file.. which confuses me.  I tried to download the SC4 map maker (2013), but I kept gaining errors at the unzip process.

Hiya. *:) 

Somehow you wound up with two separate topics for the same thing. This one had the extra image of the files in your folder so I kept it and hid the other one. *;) 

I don't currently have time to address all I'd like to explain, but I believe if you could go thru the steps in an old tutorial I wrote, it'd give you a much greater understanding of the general principles of map making. (Mine does not address making true to scale maps, but it will help you get started.)
