1024 x 1024 is recommended. You can make it smaller in the editor. Sry for being so late with the tutorial but I have some issues with some things.

It should be a size with the power of two. Like 128 256 512 etc.. Keep in mind each time you double the resolution you quadruble the size of the file.

You have to create a Texture with a oppacity map stored in the alpha channel and then save the file as a dds with a DXT1 compression if its a RBG image , if its greyscale you should use DXT3. I only know how to add decals to the offical editor though.

I'm using the inofficial "Supreme Scenario Editor" in which you can export/import heightmap and texturemap.

I use GIMP for drawing and all the mirroring stuff. Also I derivate the texture maps from that file.
