The download database will be your one stop shop for things such as editors and what not for making the RP itself but you have to come up with the ideas, not us, lol

My true blue steps on making a map.
Pre-map, pick an editor, use SCMD (it is the best)
1)Terrain
-First do Isometrical terrain
-Then do square
2)Locations
-create and name them all
3)Units
-Name them
-Place them
-Balance them out
4)Triggers
-Map setup with switches first in the order they progress
-Systems(continuous triggers
-Hyper triggers
5)Load screen
6)Special FX and trailer
7)Testing
8)Protection(Uberation)
9)beta testing(test at least 10 games before fixing minor errors)
10)Release Final
And map done.

Best map editors are starforge for terrain and X-tra editor for triggers. Isom terrain is ugly unless its an rpg. You should really look at alot of tutorials and just experiment with basic triggers before you go on and make something more time consuming.(more problems can come up and judging by this post, you wont be able to solve them) You really dont need a trailer and special fx i dont know what Kept_wheat is talking about. Hardest part about map making is triggers. Thats where most things go wrong. You really shouldnt start map making with a map that will be going public. Just experiment and get to know the editors.

OK kept_wheat got it almost perfect
however he forgot something
Makeing a FX and trailor is optional
Also most rps wont have hypertriggers
O ya and uhh
LOCKING IS NOT UBERISAZTION
if u ask me its destrutization, rgs and defence is one thing but in an rp?
the only reason ive heard for lovking anything but rpg is to "presserve makers name"
WHO CARES ok im srry that was harsh but honestly what is so bad a out the makers name being changed.
and another thing i have NEVER seen ANY mpa stolen and i personally unlock maps
in short the lcoking thing is conpletely egotistic and hoever made it dosnt deserve to play anything because of what he did
ADDITION:
O and another thing you also must select if you want your rp to be turn based or real time combat
(srry bout the off topic but i had to get it off my chest)

1. Stop typing like a fool.
2. Uberation is the name of the program to protect maps with.

Proedit is another one along with GUEdit but Uberation is the best one by far.
You got any more questions?

SCMDraft 2 is a good editor, for rp's it can create quick map revealers, and yes you need to kill the map revealers at some location.

SCMDraft 2 is a good editor, for rp's it can create quick map revealers, and yes you need to kill the map revealers at some location. Rp maps take a long time to make. They are just easy but long time. You'd need a wholesome patience and truesome concentration. I'll list things that you should include.
Triggers:)
- All units.
- Statistics Editing Trigger ( Invincible, Modify HP, etc. )
- Effects, Music ( Optional. ) Music Increases File Size.
- Building Spawn ( Optional. ) You can do this as optional.
- Mind Control Spawn System ( You mind control to spawn, but it's optional. )
- Multiple Unit Spawn System ( You use multiple units to spawn multiple units at once, and optional )
- Spawners ( You need to put spawners to spawn your units. )
- Banning System ( I would suggest 3 player req. to ban )
- Timers and Score ( Another Optional )
- Lights on and Off ( This is optional too )
- Give units to player ( This isn't optional )
- Mineral and Gas Amount Settings ( Optional. )
- Pause Time and Reset Time
- Restriction Trigger for Spawners and Abnormal Units to go into the Spawn Select Area.
You should protect it with Uberation. Its the best around.

It is advised that you make triggers after you do locations and terrain for the reason that after making a map you tend to get bored. Then, since you've already completed the boring part (the triggers) now you do the fun stuff and actually finish the map!
