Making a map from scratch

I am a frail, naked, helpless noob when it comes to modding: I have never done any modding in my life, but have basic knowledge in BASIC(heh) and C++, so I thought Id have a head start on the scripting. I followed a link about making a campaign map from scratch at the .net:

When I realized it was for RTW, I came to the part about data/text and
stopped. :shame: Help?

Is their any comprehensive guide about map making in M2TW? I am so lost, I've searched the .org and the .net for noob friendly guides and I'm finding nothing.
:sweatdrop:

Thanks in advance guys.
