Surprised there isn't a link provided within the sticky'd tutorial thread as I'm sure I've seen plenty of them but all you need to know is within:

http://www.graal.net/index.php/Creation/Dev/GMap

Though I suppose the one thing this lacks is a good example, you'll want to open notepad or wordpad and input something like this:

PHP Code:
GRMAP001
WIDTH 3
HEIGHT 3
LEVELNAMES
"yourlevela1.nw","yourlevela2.nw","yourlevela3.nw"
"yourlevelb1.nw"
,"yourlevelb2.nw","yourlevelb3.nw"
"yourlevelc1.nw"
,"yourlevelc2.nw","yourlevelc3.nw"
LEVELNAMESEND 
Changing the width/height and level names to whatever is desired, click "Save As", and type "nameofyourmap.gmap" for it to save with the gmap extension.

When complete and uploaded you'll need to add the file into serveroptions, such as:

gmaps=nameofyourmap,nameofyourmap2,nameofyourmap3

You'll also need to ensure that the folder configuration allows for your gmap to be downloaded, such as by setting:

level gmaps/*.gmap

Getting the gmap working once everything is in place however seems to be a matter of luck, you'll likely have to do a "/updatelevel nameofyourgmap.gmap" within RC, sometimes it happens straight away other times it can take a random amount of time, as mentioned if the levels are already in use you'll need to restart the server.

If you haven't started creating your map I'd recommend using the level generator to make a bunch of empty levels because it links the levels and names them for you. If you have already made some but not many you can still do this and just copy and paste the tiles.

If i were to do this, is there a way to make the gmap bigger instead of a few levels?

read the tutorial in the folder, 1pixel = 1 tile. so if you did 640x640 it would be 101 files. 100 levels and 1 gmap file.

Someone emailed me a gmap generator once... Sometime I'll package it up and post it on here.
