This does not work anymore and most likely never will in this form.
Rule #1:
Do not keep World Builder open while doing the steps in this tutorial unless told to.
Rule #2: No other rules.
Required tools:

• Basic text editor. Microsoft Notepad is great for this. More suitable tool would be notepad++, which you can download from notepad-plus-plus.org
  
• Adobe Photoshop with DDS plugin

This does not work anymore and most likely never will in this form.
We'll start by setting up a folder system to hold the templates and by downloading a set of example files to test it.

• Create this folder structure to your CoH2 Installation folder:
  
• Download example files and extract the contents of the .zip archive (lyon.dds and lyon.terrainmaterial) to
  
  Code
  
  
• Launch World Builder. You should now be able to access the new splat in Splat placement tool:
  
  Place the splat called 'lyon' to the map. You will notice the small size of the new splat immediately. To make it larger, set scale to 128 or something similar and place the splat again.
  
  

Tip: You can use World Builder Ruler tool to determine scale. Ruler measures distance in meters.
Now that we have a working system, we can continue to creating our own template image(s). This does not work anymore and most likely never will in this form.
Assuming that you already have a template image, we'll start by saving it as .dds

Load your template image to Photoshop. Make sure the image width and height are multiples of four. Here is a list of few examples (basically any power of 2 is suitable):
Once you have done necessary adjustments to your image ensuring correct image width and height, save your template image as yourTemplateName.dds to

, using following settings in Photoshop:

Now, when your image is successfully exported as .dds, we'll create a .terrainmaterial

file to describe the properties of the new splat. You can do that by doing the following steps:

• Open Notepad/Notepad++ and paste in following content:
  
  Code
  
  
• Change yourTemplateName to match your .dds file name.
  
• Save this text as yourTemplateName.terrainmaterial to the same folder where your .dds image is. Close the file.
  
• Launch World Builder. You should now be able to access your new custom template.
