Aries Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Ok, here's the deal. I just got the game, I just got the editor because I got bored with the "official maps". Unfortunately, the map editor doesn't seem to want to work properly. It makes a nice little folder in the "MAPS" directory, but I can't start the map up in custom games. If this has been asked before, i'm sorry but I've tried searching for the answer and couldn't find it. If any of you out there know how I can fix it or just generally help me, please respond.

ken124578 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I don't think he'd read every tutorial, read both before you plan to make maps, they contain every answer you need ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty_Square Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 How many players does the map have? If you have put only 1 base, you 'll need to put another one, even though the map editor doesn't detect an error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 The map has both players on it, Ghostly_Square. ken124578, I did read all the tutorials and followed them, and I already checked the documents. Gobalopper, I think I have the map in the right directory, could you be more specific, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty_Square Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Yep, this is the problem. Patch 1.9's sole purpose is to support user-made maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalileoAce Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I recently downloaded the Map Editor, and I have a problem...Let me explain my situation: I Use Win XP (no SP1) Emp is upgraded to 1.09. The Map Editor program itself works, and so does the Viewer, but when open the ShadowMaker, or the WashCompressor an error pops up, on of those "This is program must closed. Sorry for the inconvenience" messages. It's very annoying, considering any maps I make will look crap without shadows!I tried to change the compatibility (to all Win vers) but that didn't work, I change the colors to 256, and the disabled visual themes, and the ShadowMaker opened, but when I tried to create shadows the error came again.Can someone help?If so, please send an Email to me because I don't check this place often. :-GalileoAce@hotmail.comThanks GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
