In this window you may set:
  * General settings, such as the description, detail map image, tidal strength, etc. (on the [[plugins:fileio:l3dtio_smd:general|general tab]]).
  * Atmospheric effects, such as the skybox (on the [[plugins:fileio:l3dtio_smd:atmosphere|atmo. tab]]).
  * Water textures and other water settings (on the [[plugins:fileio:l3dtio_smd:water|water tab]]).
  * Sun colour, shadow density, and other lighting effects (on the [[plugins:fileio:l3dtio_smd:light|light tab]]).
  * The commanders' starting positions (on the [[plugins:fileio:l3dtio_smd:teams|team tab]]).
  * The unit speeds for different land types (on the [[plugins:fileio:l3dtio_smd:types|types tab]]).

Pleaser refer to the [[plugins:fileio:L3DTio_SMD|SMD editor plugin]] page for a full description of all the settings.

The next and final step is to [[tutorials:ta spring:aaron:export_sd7|export the SD7 map archive]].
