Probably nobody will have any idea for your map if nobody has got your map...

I think almost every map needs a plot.
If it doesn't have one, you aer just running around and can nothing do, you just have to survive...

The plot has to be well and logically constructed. What happens, doesn''t matter then

Then, you need some details. When the user sees them, he must think "Wow, that's really nice!". That you can see in Lord Horazont's Map. Look at the Water running down the hill and you think "Well done!" If that's on almost every place on the map, the Mapper has made an awesome job.

you have to script it.
perhaps in the map script:
1
2
3
s2:on:start {
s2:msgbox "Start",12;
}
12 is the ID of a Textcontainer, you should change that depending on what id your textcontainer has.
if you want a paper background you can use s2 cmd diary instead of s2 cmd msgbox, but then the text is saved like, yeah, in a diary.

there is an info called a textcontainer.
It has a sheet of paper as icon.
throw it somewhere on the map, then click on it and write your text into the script area.
then use the id of this info as source for the s2 cmd diary.

Does it dont matter where in the map?-_-'

it can be anywhere, as long as you use the right id.
Distance doesn't matter for scripts.

there are only green (toxic) and orange (explosive) rockets and both can be used as ammo for a rocket launcher.
