== Introduction ==

For each [[SEED]] entity you can specify an '''image map''' which will influence where entities are placed. This can even be overriden for each target class of the SEED with '''seed_map''.

The map is an 8 bit greyscale TGA, PNG or JPEG image, where black is 0% and white is 100% spawn probability.

== How to use ==

For exmaple put this spawnarg on your SEED:

"map" "spots"

If the map name does not start with "textures/seed/", then this will be added in front. Also, the extension is optional, if left off, PNG, TGA and JPG will be tried in that order. For example, "sinus" will load "textures/seed/sinus.png".

Note: The image base map is combined with whatever distribution you set with falloff, also inhibitors are still taken into account.

=== Random maps ===

If your map spawnarg consists of multiple maps listed with ",", one of them will be choosen randomly and then used:

"map" "spots, spots2, sinus"

== Gallery ==

There are a few premade maps in TDM, here is a visual overview:
