make us some maps

Actually, #fort <nbr> does work as advertised, but I'm not sure if the fort numbers in the manual are correct. I have them listed correctly in the DB and I can post some kind of a list of them from home tomorrow (I'm at work now).

This might be a 'notepad' issue again, but #fort "<nbr>" gives unpredictable results on the many maps I've tested.
I did find a complicated workaround to get the correct fort to appear using notepad.
#fort "<fort_number>" = is unpredictable and should not be used
however
IF the map editor uses the complicated workaround below the correct fort can appear using notepad:
#owner <fort_number>#fort "<any_number>" = WORKS !!

Using the command above within notepad will allow the correct fort to appear and proves the command is broken at least when using notepad. Since most game owners are using Windows and the map edit PDF says a text editor can be used... it's broken. Based on what I discovered it's not working as advertised.

NM I figured it out.

That's a notepad issue, not a problem with the game. Notepad for some reason uses a different form of endline command than standard. It's some kind of proprietary Microsoft thing. Using any other text editor will give you no problems at all. With all the alternatives out there, why anyone would want to use that piece of crap anyway is quite beyond me.

Personally I use Crimson Editor. It's a completely free and far more powerful tool than Notepad and doesn't have any issues with the endlines. Other good choices are Textpad (which you can run off a USB stick withoyt ever needing to install it) and any of a dozen others.
