Who let this slip to the second page?

Hmmm, possible bug here. I can't seem to use the map editor at all when using the FQMD 2.01. I get an error about not being able to insert a line and the physical type boxes are coming up blank. That comes form the stellar abilities.txt file does it not?

The map editor is broken. It doesn't work very well with mods. Did you try selecting FQM from the Mod Launcher list, and then hit Edit Maps?

Yes. I don't think this is a map editor problem I am seeing. I think it's specific to your mod. I thought it might be at first, casue I know it has trouble finding images and stuff for mods. As a test I made a new install of SEIV on my pc and copied all the FQM files into that. So for the purpose of the test FQM was default, not a mod. I still have the problem when I try to edit systems in the map editor. And I don't have this problem with other mods.

That's because very few other mods make changes to files that FQM changes.

Do you have the Image Mod installed?

Yes, I have the image mod. That's not it. Although on my other computer now I am not seeing the problem, so it may be that my mapeditor.exe got corrupted on the other machine. May not be the mod at all.

Can't be the mod, cause I can edit maps with no problem. Can't generate them in the editor, but that's just cause the editor doesn't like non-default mid-life quadrants.
