MAPTEX files

I will admit, I am much better at the research and text file parts of making a mod than at the graphics part but this question will sound remarkably stupid.

How do I create a MAPTEX file for a new map in VI. I have searched the threads about map creation and that is the only part that I can't find. I know that it is probably the easiest part of the process but it has thrown me.

Thanks

You can make it as a bmp and then convert it to tga using infran view

Thanks for the help.

Another stupid question, How do you erase the names off of the original MAPTEX file in Medieval?

The names are part of the texture. So u need to edit the texture to get rid of the names.

Thanks Again
