The video tutorials seem to be outdated.
I open the Editor, create a new project and add a new world, but how to import a hightmap in "Terrain" page? What do you mean "Materials for image channels"?
I am confused ...

You can specify a material map for the terrain.
For example it will have red and green, .. channel intensities (the pixel colors)
Then you can specify each material for each channel (red/green/blue/alpha)
depending on the intensity of the source image channel, appropriate material will be selected

What is "material map"?

In editor 1.0, I can create heightmap manually via memu "Hightmap/Insert".
How to do this in editor 2.0?

In editor 2.0, resources are encrypted.
So I can use the resources just within the editor?
Can I program using VS instead the Code Editor?

Hi. I'm a real newbie here, but yes you can compile and edit using VS.

it's an image specifying intensities for up to 4 materials to apply into heightmap, you don't need to use it

Open Terrain Tab, click the Button "Del/Add", then RMB/LMB on the world

They are not encrypted.

Yes, hit F8 on any open project/app and you will have a VS project opened for you, you can just copy it somewhere else on the disk so it won't get overwritten by Esenthel compilation

Thanks
