If want to make or use a custom terrain tile on a map, would it require game modding, or simply putting it on the map?

It requires game modding to add a terrain tile, if that's what you mean...

You need to edit temperatemd.ini for adding temperate new terrain tile,
snowmd.ini for adding snow new terrain tile, and so on for desert, lunar, urban, etc.

so if I do add new terrain tiles, I can no longer play online. Whatever, no one plays any more anyway.

What do I need to create a new tile?

Out of interest, modifying temperatemd.ini and the like does not affect your ability to play online against unmodded games. However attempting to play on a map that has tiles that are changed by the mod will probably not go well (likely resync issues, never tested personally). You can also modify soundmd.ini without affecting online play as well IIRC.

so if I play a map with a terrain tile I made onlne, the other players wouldn't see it and/probably have an error right?

Unless they have a copy of your theatre.ini files, yes. What did you think would happen? Its not like they could get the actual graphics for the tile by downloading the map anyhow.
