MoonShadow Report post Posted June 15, 2004 Yea that are the basic commands but the thing that really counts is that you are creative. If you are not then you can't learn making maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenod Report post Posted July 1, 2004 I mentioned in my previous post that 1,2,3 numbers change the color. And as for decreasing their brightness you need only hold down ALT+(1,2, or 3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
