# Sub Map Creation

To create a submap for more detailed editing, follow the same steps as creating a new map:

1. **Right-Click the Parent Map**: For example, if you want to create a submap named **\[test1]** under the **\[test]** map, right-click the **\[test]** map in the file explorer.
2. **Select \[New Map]**: From the popup menu, click **\[New Map]**.

This will open the **\[New Map]** configuration window, allowing you to create a submap.

The process of setting the map's **Name**, **Size**, **Tileset**, and other options is the same as for creating a standalone map. Once completed, the submap will be nested under the parent map.

When creating a submap under an existing map, a **\[Create Map]** popup window will appear. Follow these steps:

1. **Set the Map Details**:\
   Configure the following options in the popup window:
   * **Name**: Enter the name of the submap.
   * **Size**: Specify the width and height of the map.
   * **Tileset**: Choose the appropriate tileset for the map’s design.
   * **BGM Change**: Set background music for the submap.
   * **BGS Change**: Configure background sound effects.
   * **Single Play**: Enable or disable single-player mode.
   * **Instance Map**: Select whether this is an instance map.
   * **Gravity**: Adjust the gravity settings for the map.
   * **Channel Count**: Define the number of available channels.
   * **Maximum Players**: Set the maximum number of players allowed in the map.
2. **Click \[Confirm]**:\
   After entering the settings, click the **\[Confirm]** button to create the submap.

Similarly, you can create the \[test\_2] map using the same method.
