All you did was copy it from the tutorial that came with the map editior. You didn't tell us anything extra.

If you changed all that technical jargon into words we can understand more easily, that would be worth a tutorial. But this, is nothing more than just a copy and paste expedition.

I'm sorry to say this, but this doesn't deserve to even be a topic. If I wanted to look at these defintions, I would look at my own guide, or go to halomaps.org. No offense or anything to you, but next time you make a tutorial, try to make it something that I can learn something from.
