Before you begin mapping you must understand the Mapping Cycle:
Mapping Cycle
1. Always
update your Masmap folder before you begin mapping
Right click on your Masmap folder > SVN Update
2. Always
lock the tile that you wish to edit
Right click on the map tile > SVN Get Lock > Enter your username and password (please apply for one)
3. Once you have locked the tile you want to map on, you can now proceed to
edit the map
4.
Save the map once you have finished editing. You should now see a red exclamation mark icon overlay on your edited map file.
Tile edited
5.
Commit the map to the server. This automatically releases the lock so other mappers can now map on the newer map file.
Right click on the edited map tile (with a red exclamation mark) > SVN Commit > Enter a short log of what you added/edited > Enter your username and password
