Re-read that. They have it in the text you quoted, near the top.

So anyone already figured out how to use Mapping tools "map_tools.map" file?
This post is useless and worthless guides I never seen before, lazy person.

We load the map file via m_load command, grab the items from the chest and then use the tools by equipping them like weapons/armor.
I guess the irony is lost on you.

Nothing really wrong with the post. I'm more inclined to believe that you lack any patience in learning or reading.
I think the issue you originally had was actually loading the file. " m_load - opens a prompt to load a map from a folder."
So here, if you can't follow this, nobody here can help you.
Create a new folder in the base game folder, title it "maps" or whatever you want. Take map_tools.map, and drag it into the new folder. Open the game, make sure console is enabled in the settings. Start game. Open console, type m_load, which will open a Windows prompt box to open the map file. Navigate to the new folder you created, and double click the map_tools file, which will load the map in-game. Once you are in, grab all of the items within the chest. These items must be equipped onto the hot bar to be used.
Next, create a new map with m_create # #, try m_create 100 100, or 25 25, or whatever. Now you can start mapping, and experimenting with the tools.
While the mapping tools provided by enlit are lackluster at best, they are totally functional. You need some practice to set it up and actually use them though. It's very reminiscent of Cube 2: Sauerbraten and Minecraft.
Best of luck.

I see, now this is a proper and tidy guides that I love so much.
Not like the original poster Prick gives "And open it while in game, and take the items in the chest.", this is lazy and worthless guides.
Thank you very much !!
Edit: Oh you're the one who post the original post, well... Next time it's better explain everything without leaving people hanging

What do you mean by "Nothing really wrong with the post. I'm more inclined to believe that you lack any patience in learning or reading."?
Is "And open it while in game, and take the items in the chest." clear and understand for new player? This isn't even a guide, it's laziness.

Nah, the irony isn't in me but the original poster.
Try to do what the guides said and you'll go nowhere

Man, you are a f****** a**h**e!
You repeately insult someone who volunteers to help. I can hardly believe your rudeness.
How many briliant tutorials do you have created?

My reply to you came after trying the modding tool for literally the first time ever, before that I have never even used any user-created mods, let alone tried to mod any aspect of the game myself. After using that "useless and worthless" guide, no less. If anything, I am surprised the command list works at all considering the version it was last updated for (which was before even the versioning format change).
You are clearly in no need of help - you keep operating in vague terms without EVER specifying what exactly it is you are trying to achieve via map tools function -, or, for example, "where I am supposed to get instead of nowhere" - thus leaving wiggle room for semantics.
Seeing how you posted the proof yourself, I feel inclined to once again remark how the irony seems to be lost on you:
Gentlemen, grab your rapiers and solve it like gentlemen already.

Oh it's not about the command list, it's about map_tools.map.
The guide only said "Open it when the game is run" and then sure I try it; I open the game and then go to Windows and open the map_tools.map file and the only thing showing is Windows asked which app should be use to open this file.
Fortunately the original poster give more clearer guides just now and it's works perfectly.

Oh it's not a hate, it's 100% care.
I'm sure many confused by this and none of them talking about it.

Ooh, you tried opening the map file from OUTSIDE the game. Apologies - that thought never even crossed my mind, what with it being listed right after maptool commands you can only use IN the game. "The most basic thing for you is not the most basic thing for everyone" in action.
(do note that last two quotes are from different posts)
Gentlemen, I'm glad that rapiers are not needed today - but a pair of glasses became mandatory instead...

DrinkFromTheCup Given that you failed to read the very first post that started the aforementioned conversation, I am inclined to agree.

That was banter, an insult in exchange for an insult.
I should also state the obvious here, there's nothing about my original post that classifies it as a "guide".
It's just a list of console commands with a few pointers.
You correct that the wording is slightly vague.
However.. any common sense would indicate that a custom file extension 'map file' would not be a standard Windows program you can simply double click. The console command for "m_load" must do something, right?
And best of luck with making actual maps. If you thought loading a map file was complicated, just wait until you actually try to make a proper map with stages, units, quests, dialogue, etc. I wrote over 2,200 lines of json code for my first map. Never truly finished it, wasn't happy with how it was turning out.
...
Just for the record, nobody here is going to be upset with you for asking questions.
Be humble and respectful, I assure you it would have been reciprocated.

I once play a game that has similar like this, even though the file extension isn't standard windows program the game automatically detected it when I try to open, so I thought this is also same.
I don't really created a new map, I just editing the existing one.
And yeah sorry for before and thanks :3
What am I supposed to see there?
A slightly krangled wording which could be rectified without channeling one's inner drama queen?
We can keep cluttering this theme with useless arguing.
Or we can do something to improve this situation for those who sill try to figure it on their own after us.
Not if that I'm really upset or something. I'm mildly annoyed by the fact that all that claptrap clogs not only this theme but also my (and any other potential subscriber)'s notification log.
If you're really into going personal with someone, get a room or something. Don't use public themes for that.
