all im asking is for someone to show how to start a map editor not to create one for me because iv never made on before and i just wanted to know how to start one

Okay then, tell me what you want to do and what you have found related to that, which is you haven't not mentioned in your first post.

all i want to know is how to get started making a map editor that will save the newly created map as a text file and how what code to use to get my game engine to read the .txt fle

In map editor what you want to edit, a geographical location or just game environment?

for now just the location of the tiles and the different images making up the tiles

and how to place the image tiles on the map editor

Actually you are not answering to my question.

i want to edit the geographical location

So first of all you've to think about how to load maps, on to what for editing.

Actually why don't you use existing materials, rather invent it again?
