The map editor came with your Wesnoth installation. Its name will be wesnoth_editor or wesnoth_editor.exe depending on what operating system you have.

All maps it creates work in both single player and multiplayer. For more multiplayer maps, go to the Multiplayer Development Forum. In particular, pay attention to posts by Doc Paterson--he's the person who selected the maps that appear in the game.

Start by telling us what OS you use and where you got the version of the game you're playing (exact URL of file or description of media).

It's one of the available terrains in the editor. Keep looking. It's next to the snowy forest. Otherwise, the letter for cave wall is W.

You can edit maps in notepad by opening them up in notepad. A map is just a text file consisting of a rectangle of letters. Don't be confused by the lack of a file extension. It's still a text file.

But, how do I use the map? Is it only playable in multiplayer?

You will need to create a scenario/multiplayer cfg file for it. There is some information on the wiki, I believe.

Yes unless you make a campaign, which isn't hard.
