So I am trying to edit a map using "MapEdit2.exe" which opens up Korean maps. However, when I edit the map, save it and go in game it comes out like this:

It should look like this:

What am I doing wrong? Should I be using a different map editor?

FYI when I open the file I saved, it shows correctly in the map editor but in game it shows messed up, weird.

Anyone know? I have tried to convert the map too and it doesnt seem to help.

Here is a download link to the map if anyone wants to try and guide me?

Opens with 'MapEdit2.exe' and when saved and tried in game the objects won't show correctly around the walls.

i tried that mapeditor i uploaded and it seems to resave the map in a strange format that the c# client doesn't recognize.

what i had to do was edit the map in mapedit2.exe, then open it in td's map editor, then resave it again. then it worked in c#

long winded, but it works.

I just got overly excited and tried it but didn't work. I followed what you said opened the SG004.map in MapEdit2.exe, edited it and saved it. Then opened it in MapEdit.exe (td's one), saved it and tried it in game but getting the same messed up object like first image I posted. Maybe I am missing something here? It's just around the edges of the map(the walls) that become messed up.

could be the old map editor issue that it doesn't support the new tiles because the index isn't big enough. smavid goes on about it alot, but apparently most map editors can't read past a certain index, so they look fine in the editor but when you view in game it's messed up.

i expect that's why we needed td's map editor in the first place.

So there is no actual fix for this not unless someone completes TD's unfinished map editor? I can't even seem to open the SG004.map in TD's map editor not unless I edit it first using the MapEdit2.exe but then it just messed up the objects. So did it not work for you then?

i haven't tried your map - but if its not working for you i doubt it would do anything diff for me.

yeah best option is getting td's map editor finished - though tbh i'm struggling to get it even opening maps lately.

Yeah it opens quite a few maps but there are a odd few that it stops responding when opening. Anyway, thanks for the help it's a shame it's unfinished source.

i def think this is down to other dependencies it needs. It used to open all maps for me too, but since i've formatted it only opens old map types.

Shortys map edit, with korean files converted to old .wil format & nobody can use Shanda unless they rob from Chronciles. All these map edits are riddled with problems.. i was playing with 5 different ones last night and i resorted to Shortys and one other for PB placements otherwise i deleted others.

Simple map solution for you.
