CTD when running map editor....
 

Just got game..and decided I wanted to try the map editor out..I hit it..and for ease I decide to load up one of the built in maps so I can play around...it promptally crashed to my desktop....tried a different map..same thing...

The game runs just fine..it's just the map editor..and yes all my drivers are uptodate and im well above the min-requirements. Anyone have any idea whats up?

Ive been trying to make it work and have had alot of that. The closest I got was to scribble a quicky little map and put 6 white dots around, then bring it up in the editor. After alot of thinking it did finally show me the screen and what it could do.

I didnt take good notes so this might not be all correct. The "new map" wants a tga file and needs to have the .tga on it. The "load map" wants a map file and doesnt need the .map

The tga must be certain save formats. It does alot of thinking (it brings your map up with little flags on the white dots) so you might want to wander off while its coming up.

Im still trying to figure out exactly what the problem is with it picking up the maps from the Dom1 DomMap generator. Im not sure if its the save format or the line of dots in the upper-left corner.

The editor seems like it will be alot of help for people making maps manually.

Hmm yes...I can LOAD the map files and everything does come up allright...still I wonder why it won't load the tgas allready there...and good luck getting dom1 maps to work, I have a few with that random map generator I became very fond of playing on hehe

Gandalf has got it right. When loading a tga file, choose create a new map.

I crash to desktop alot when attempting to use the map editor.

Guess Neighbors crashes to desktop every time.
Local Neighbors has crashed to the desktop once so far.

Is that always crash when gussing neighbors on a home made map? If so you could send it to me and I'll take a look at it.

Nope, the map is good old eye.
