I don't think writing a script for map editing guide would be a good idea, but it only shows the real basics of this whole conception, so it must be not so complicated to understand. Better have a map editing expert explain all those stuff in a video on Youtube, so everybody can follow the steps much easier. I hope somebody will do that. :)
