Unfortunately :( midterms are bogging me down. But don't worry i'll get to it

aaaaah, I know your pain. I have to start studying for my midterms as well this weekend... :(
 
Alright guys, I really dont' have time, but I really wanted to help you guys out. So I created a really quick tutorial to get you guys on track right away. As I can get more time, I'll flesh it out more. So without further adieu:

Xie's Unprofessional and Incomplete Map Making Tutorial

You'll especially want to look at the "SHUT UP!!! I want to get right down to business..." section.

This is basic documentation on the tools. When I have more time I'll tell you guys how I got the EU2 effect.

The Actions file I downloaded a week ago or so doesn't fit at all with the tutorial or the extracted .psd-file. The actions file linked from your tutorial leads to a 404.

The only action working is the "update borders"-action, but it also makes borders between sea provinces and between sea and land.

What is really annoying is that I've looked throughout the forums for an explaination on how to do things WITHOUT the actions, but there seems to be none. I'm pulling my hair and hoping for a quick reply.

Isn't a detailed explanation on post #6 of this thread?

Anyways, I'll look into the Map actions thing. Fixed the 404 dead link
