map editor help

[psimancer]

my map editor is Version 1.31 is this the latest Version ?(some downloaded maps wont load)

[Fyron]

The map editor has not been updated in years.

(some downloaded maps wont load)

Which maps? It is possible they were made using a mod with custom SectType.txt information. In such a case, the stock game data files would not allow you to load the map in the Map Editor.

Those maps that don't work probably were created using a mod that altered the sector types, or something similar.

Try loading it with your path.txt set to the related mod if you can figure out which it is.

[Fyron]

Try loading them in FQM Deluxe.

The map editor is more trouble than it is fun. I suggest you make a new map with the game, save it, and then open THAT map in the map editor. Save often and frequently.

Here is an idea for a extra money spinner for MM - create a up to date map editor for SE4 and then SE% (along with a sceniro editor - tech editor and also a mod file editor) and charge $4 bucks a download (direct link via email to download file from a secure internet server) im sure folks would pay a few bucks for it and it would come in handy.
