[Need Help] The very beginning

Wow ... I am quite overwhelmed by PLSM, but slowly I am finding my way into it.

My Situation:
I easily managed to build the plugin and the mapsplitter tool. Not a problem at all.

Currently I am playing around with the mapsplitter. But I am still trying to figure out which configuration files need to be configured how ...

Firstoff there ist the "standard" resources.cfg. That thing is simply meant to describe a resourcegroup for the Mapsplitter to use. Inside of this resourcegroup it then searches for the maptool.cfg where I define a defaultmap, the resourcegroup to search in when splitting and maybe some more maps.

First question: So what is the need for a paginglandscape2.cfg?

My maptool.cfg currently looks like this:test_height=test_height
DefaultMap=test_height
GroupName=PLSM2

Following of this there is a test_height.cfg. My one is based on ps_height_1k.cfg. And there comes my second question.

There are values for pages, tiles and Width / Height. What exactly are pages and tiles? Is a tile some kind of subset of a page?
And what do width / height stand for? The X and Y number of pages to be generated? But what happens the to page or tile size?

paginglandscape2.cfg?
That's for plsm2 demo.
What exactly are pages and tiles? Is a tile some kind of subset of a page?
Did you read PLSM2 Wiki pages on Ogre Wiki ?
tiles are subdivision of a pages.
And what do width / height stand for? The X and Y number of pages to be generated?
yes
But what happens the to page or tile size?
Those are the number of heighmap pixels that represent them.
