8- Creating a New Board

* Once you have finished with your starting board, you will probably want to make your game a little bigger.  Go into the board editor, click on the File menu and select New Board.  This will let you work on a brand new board.

* You can design your board much like before, but try to make this one a little different.  Once you have worked on it for a bit, save it as board2.brd.

* Now what we are going to do is Link your new board to your starting board.  This is pretty easy.  Go to the Board Settings menu, and select Board Information.  This will pop up a new window with a few things in it.

* Notice in the top-left corner of the window there is a section for Directional Links.  This sections controls where your player will go if he walks off the edge of the board in any direction.  For example, if your player were walking on this board and he walked off the East edge, he would be sent to another board.

* Click on the button for Eastern Board and we will set the east link.  When you click on this button, a file dialog will pop up asking you where you want to send the player.  Click on start.brd (our first board).

* Once you are done, hit the OK button at the bottom of the window, and then save your board.

* Now we have set up a directional link on our new board, but we must open up our starting board and set up a similar link in it to our new board.

* Go to the file menu, and select Open Board.  Open up start.brd, go into Board Settings/Board Information.

* Now, we will want to set up the western link on this board so it will send the player to our new board.  Click on the Western Board button, and select the file board2.brd.

* Now our two boards are linked to one another!  Save your board, and test run your game.  When your player walks past the western edge of the startup board, he should be sent to your new board.

* What if the player wasn't sent to the new board?  A number of things can cause this.  Make sure the tile where the player is supposed to be sent to on the other board is not solid.  Also, make sure the directional link is properly set up, and that your board is saved.
