1)Opening and learning Boring Editior
Boring Editior is the application used to make Boring Maps,as ill call them.You can gain acsses to it by going into Steam and clicking play on Boring Man,then clicking the bubble,Launch Boring Editior,or such as.

The biggest step is to get to know most of the tabs...

Tabs include:
File
Configure (Config)
Asset
Object (OBJ)
Spawn (SPWN)
Tile




File allows you to Make a New map or Load a map,which is self explantory,however Save and Compile are two differnt things.

Save-Saves as Boring Man Map Save that can be used in Boring Editor,but cannot be played.
Compile-Saves as a Boring Man map,cannot be Edited and can be played (how to play map further ahead)

Configure sets misc things,such as Author,Name,and Background,youll probably need to use this last,other than the Grid feture.

Assets are mostly interactive things,such as traps,and devices,but also sets the direction to which AI may go.

Objects are the most important bit,and what you should start with,these hold any of the acual blocks that have any collison to them,meaning if you touch them,youll stop.

Spawn is pretty self-explantory,its where you set player spawns,as well as flag spawns.

Tile contains all parts related to background and forground,placing on top of Objects,to give them a look.
2)Starting your map.
To start your map,you should use Objects,to plan on the terrian that will be walked on.

The blocks included are as follows:
Block-the basic square.
Ramp-cut in half block.
Terrian-a large wavy piece that is used for ground.

to place simply click with an Object selected.
to delete blocks,press CTRL while having objects selected.


use these pieces to build your map.
3)Adding detail
After you place the Objects,its time to use Tiles to make the map look nice,use the tiles to put togethera scence.this step is mostly self explanatory,however ive provided an example of a scene:

4)Adding Programed divices
Asset and Spawn are things that have action they can do,it this section,ill go over each individuly.

Spawn:Spawn is pretty basic,however there are some important things to note:
Tiles will sit on top of spawns,so use F5 to hide tiles so that you can see where you are placing the spawns

It is recomemded that you use all spawns,as all maps (besides Cmb.) can be used for the gamemodes in that tab.

Assets:Assets are the things that can kill you,in a basic sense.however there are other things besides traps,these are:

Powerups
Medikits/Ammo Boxes
Windows
BFG
Keys and Doors
Chests (used only in Survival.)
Scoreborad Timers
Barrels
Climb Materials
Base Materials (CTF mainly)
5)Configuration
Finished with the map?
Make sure you check Config for Naming your map,and making YOU the author,also change the background or ambaince,if you havent. (Note that changing the background means you have to TYPE the .png file name.)

After that is completed,your ready to import it to Boring Man,select Compile under File,and then follow the string of places you need to go.

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Boring Man - Online Tactical Stickman Combat\Maps

Save it in this folder,and then start Boring Man,when opening a server,you should be able to use your new map.

Alternatly,if you have not finished,you can select Save under file,and save it to any findable place,to be used later.
Extra Notes
These are just some notes that dont fit the catagories,but are important.

After a map has been created,its important to know that there is no comunity for Boring Man Maps,and therefore,it is required that everyone that wishes to play that map,has to download it.
