I need help creating a map.

Shame on you lexy, using big words like "The" infront of the little one.

A map is nothing more than a series of code objects called "areas", "turfs", "objs", and "mobs" (collectively, "atoms".) If you know what these are and how to define and describe them in code, then you make a map in Dream Maker by going up to File: New and choosing "Map" for the file type. Voila!
If the preceding paragraph made no sense to you, then you most assuredly do NOT need to know how to make a map. You need to learn how to code.
Read the help files, read the reference, pick apart a couple of libraries and tutorials and don't be afraid to ask basic questions... "What does (this) mean?", not, "How do I make a house code and a fight code and an experience code and a pony code and a helicopter code...?"
Believe me, if you focus on, "How do I make a (whatever) code?" or "Please give me a (whatever) code!", you will never finish a good game, your game will rarely work and when it does, you won't have a clue how or why. Even if someone hands you a piece of code and tells you it will do exactly what you want it to do, do not use it until you can read it for yourself and you know how and why it works. Ask questions and look it up in the help files until it makes sense.
