1. Formula for water: 2 parts hydrogen, 1 part oxygen. A flash type explosion and viola, water.

But in Myth, you need to create something called a Media Map. Here's what the Loathing manual says about it:

The media map determines whether a given cell is liquid or solid. Your media map should be the same size as your colormap and be in greyscale or bitmap format (refer to your image editor's documentation for instructions on how to save or convert files to these formats). When creating a media map, black is media, and white is land. Ensure that there is only black and white on this map, or there may be strange results.

Also remember if you want waves or ripples in your media (water) make sure to choose one that moves. (ie muddy swamps aren't exactly like the North Short of Hawaii).

2. In the same directory/folder of the Myth II app, there's a file called myth_log.txt. This is created everytime Myth is launched. If something goes wrong, it says so in the log. This is usually the first place to check if anything ever goes wrong (ie no RAVE or 3DFX option, map not loading etc)

3. http://vista.theresistance.net - under a section called 'Cartography' Also you could try mor.fantasyrpg.com - enter and click on 'Map Guild' at the bottom then click on 'Tutorial' They know their stuff pretty good. They created the Leggo map for crying out loud.

Hope this helps.
