Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

I haven't read this manual myself, so I might have referenced it without thinking. Here's the method I use:
1. In the map properties tree, find thumbnailimages and add elements to it, equal to the number of images.
2. Create a new object in each element by clicking on the line next to the element and selecting New, then specify a name.
3. Save and close the editor.
4. Open the map file with an archiver and place the dds images in maps/SingleMissions/map_name/.
5. Open the xdb files, which we named in step 2. In destname, specify a link to the dds file < DestName="file_name.dds"/ >, and also record the image size in the corresponding tags.
6. Save and close.
7. If the images are not displayed after all these operations, open the map in the editor, save, and close it.

There are no special requirements for the dds image subformat or size.
