I finally figured out how to make my own map!
But I still have questions:
Do people have to download the map to go into it?
(I know it's a dumb question.... :P )
Would I have to include the hight map, mask, and the rest of that in the download, or only the "fhm" file in the export folder?
If someone downloaded it, would it show up in their map maker?
(there is a special area on my map I don't want copied :( )
If someone who downloaded the map went into the area, and I was already there, would we be able to see each other?
(Basicly meeting my friends in my map without other users chatting in the background. ::) )

Yes, they will need to download your map.
All you need to include in the download is the .FHM(The map itself), .FHO(The items in the map), .FHS(Custom sky, if applicable), and .FHW(Custom weather patterns, if applicable) files. You may only have .FHM and .FHO files though, so don't worry if you cannot find the other ones when you export.
If they download it, it will not be in their map maker
You can see each other in the map, yes :)

Thanks!
I forgot to ask one question:
When I download someone else's map, Where do I dump the files?
(well, not dump, :-\ but where do they go?)
I downloaded two [rather large] sets and nither had those file types.... does mean they won't work? :(

You put all teh files in teh exports folder.

Some older maps won't work on the newer versions of FH. If there is no .FHM file, then the map won't work at all.

Thanks!
I think the user put the wrong files in the download, because the files from the terrain folders (including the hightmaps and masks) without the .map file were in the download, instead of the fhm, fho, etc.
