Welcome mappers, players, modders and other people that are interested in mapping Tiberian Sun. If you want to know how to make your own maps, you are at the right place to do so! I am LucasSK (creator of [TIBERIUM RESURRECTION]) and I am mapping Tiberian Sun for over than a year and a half now. When I was learning how to do stuff and making my first projects, I encountered many problems with too little answers, so I thought it would be great idea to share my skills, knowledge and summarize FinalSun here. And now, without further ado, lets get into it!
NOTE: This tutorial is made based on Temperate Theater of the map (not Snow).
(Download FinalSun here: https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/6720-final-sun-complete-fixed/)
("left-side" layout)
Ground - Select ground type you want to use (or use clear for default ground). Everything except water will not affect accessibility. GROUND

Terrain objects - Allows you to place Trees, Fonas and Tiberium trees in your map, or use Paint random trees to paint them randomly from the ones you choose. OBJECT
(Paint random trees - Select Trees you want to use by moving them from Available to Used by Arrow, then press OK and place them in map)

Now, I would split these objects into 3 categories: Objects, Overlay, Ground, Other, so you can understand their features.
Object - Characteristic / Description: They can be blocked by other Objects, aren't Overlay & Special and most of them are "3D" such as Vehicles, Infantry, Buildings, Trees, etc. Some of them are selectable by double-left-clicking on them and they are draggable by left-click-and-hold. Can be deleted by using Delete objects.
Overlay - Characteristic / Description: Everything in Overlay & Special, can't be selected, often has weird field position (overlapping or near the edge of one field (not centered)). Can be deleted using Erase overlay.
Ground - Characteristic / Description: Mostly "2D" items on the ground, on which you can place other Objects or Overlays + Water, Firestorm Defence. Can be deleted using Clear.
Other - Characteristic / Description: Items you can't see in-game such as Waypoints, Celltags, etc. OTHER
Vehicles, Aircraft, Infantry and Buildings have their "options" when you double-click on them. They are pretty much self-explanatory.
("upper" selection)
File - Interface with map file(s) (save, open, create your maps through here)
Edit - This is heart of triggers and programmed actions, that happen throughout map. I will talk about them in a while.
Terrain - Tools, that help you manipulate with terrain (same as 9 images / symbols below)
Map tools - Few useful, but dangerous Map tools.
SunEdit 2k - Link to SunEdit 2k (I personally do not recommend this tool).
Online - Links to a few (not) important websites.
Options - Change some settings to personalize FinalSun and turn on / off some mapping tools.
Help - Tips & Tricks related to mapping.
Brush size - Change amount of affected tiles by your "brush" (works for OVERLAY and GROUND category).
Other images / symbols are pretty much self-explanatory, when you aim cursor at them.
("Edit" options)
Undo - Undoes your last action. (works for OVERLAY and GROUND category).
Redo - Redoes your last action. (works for OVERLAY and GROUND category).
Copy - Copies part of map, which you select.
Copy whole map - Copies whole map.
Paste - Pastes selection.
Paste centered - Pastes selection in the middle of your map.
Map - Edit basic map properties.
Basic - Edit basic map settings.
Special flags - Edit more map settings.
Lighting - Change light in the map. You can make darker maps or lighter maps.
Singleplayer settings - Edit these only and only if making Singleplayer map, but they still lack purpose.
Houses - Create and edit Houses (sides) for your map.
Local variables - 1 or 0 "switch". Used in Triggers and Scripts.
Trigger editor - Tells AI when to execute what kind of action.
Tag editor - Tags for Triggers. In most cases, you shouldn't edit these.
Scripts - Tells AI what to do with Taskforce.
Taskforces - Groups of certain units, that AI would build in order to create "strikeforce".
Teams - Merges Scripts and Taskforces together and defines some more of their options.
AI Triggers - Too complicated even for me 😕
AI Trigger enabling - Too complicated even for me 😕
INI editing - Edit map's .ini file directly.
Basically: Scripts tells AI WHAT to do, Taskforces tells AI WITH WHOM to do it, Teams MERGE them together and Triggers tells AI WHEN / UNDER WHICH CIRCUMSTANCES to do it. Let's break-down Triggers into detail:

TIPS:
- read Manual by pressing F1 while in FinalSun or Tips (Help -> Tip of the day)!
- while making map, play it once in a while to check if everything is working!
- turn off Beginner mode (Options -> Beginner mode) to access all features of FinalSun.
- make terrain as interesting as you can by putting multiple decorations there!
- make sure things aren't overlapping!
- test your map occasionally while making it!
- FinalSun has many bugs, be patient and calm !
- there are many mapping tutorials available online. Just choose one! https://ppmforums.com/index.php?f=892 or https://forums.cncnet.org/forum/13-mapping-tutorials/ or https://forums.cncnz.com/topic/8683-tsra2-map-tutorial-triggers-taskforces-teams-and-scripts/.
After reading this, you should have pretty good idea of what is mapping in FinalSun.

Good Evening all. Long story short I am making my first map in Tiberian Sun Firestorm and it's got quite a bit of things going on. My waypoints have tallied up to about 121 so that traffic can move around the town automatically. The map titled "Road to Chicago" has about 8 AI vehicles driving around so far and i'm trying to add more. However as I get up into the 100's on the waypoint count, the units stop following the way points and stop or just don't move all together. Therefor are only about 100 waypoints allowed before units just stop working or...? Thank you in advance. If I posted this in the wrong section my apologies.
