Ok i give up
 

So i made a new world map orannia style. The TGA is done but when i try to load it into the map editor it simply hangs.

If i put the white dots in only 10 or 15 countries it loads but with larger numbers no success. Any hint?

I believe Targa ran into an error like this. Do a search on Targa or something similiar. It was either in the Bug, or "Make a new map" thread that had some issue with the placement of the icons.

Are you using the latest patch? J.K. told me he had found the bug, so I assumed it would be fixed with the Last patch. If not, just load any of the .map files that you have in a text editor, change the .tga tag to the name of your new map (and maybe delete all the extraneous information), then save it under a new name as a .map file. Then load that map file into Dom's editor.

Thanks that worked and yes i'm using the latest patch. Should've asked earlier, spent several hours trying to figure it out.

Oh and btw Targa which program did you use for your map? I really like the look.

I used Photoshop 5.5 for everything except the water, which I made in Bryce 4.0.
