map editor annoyance.

[Far]

im trying to edit past bichon. but wheneva i save the map. all of object8 image disapear (the fort wall and those sand pits mainly)

even when i put in my own, i save it, and then they dissapear and just leave the attributes behind.

i tried converting the object wil to type 1. but it doesnt do it with anything else, just this iv noticed.

join the club, fkin does my nut in, i spent ages on making a really nice town with them. Save it and POOOF gone.

Also certain objects like PSC lakes, stop you from undoing, so does ZT and many other objects. You just got to work around those problems.

how can u work round em? means u cant edit them, or use any othe the objects. must be a reason for this?

edit:

its a problem with the new map editor. i remember using the old map editor it worked fine.

does anyone have this?

 

[SmavidDavid]

As in old editor, do you mean shortys?,because mines never worked in the three editors i use/used

 

[Far]

before shortys. ive had about 3 versions of pb map saved all working fine, and i think i did them with the old editor.

 

[SmavidDavid]

Hmmmm. Well all i can say is, use them or loose them. Because old editor i got sucks donkeys bollox lol.

the old editor was great for me. just meant i had to convert the objects to type 1, and obviously wldnt read higher than objects 9.

but that wld solve the otha issues.

pft. jus tried the old editor and it doesnt display the newer objects at all. not even pb when type 1.

any way of fixing? the pb town is the only town i want to use

[iJam]

Yeah thats um

 

[Far]

that hasnt helped downloaded all the maps and its still doing the same thing.

this is really annoying. sorta put a hault on what i wanted to do :'(

 

[SmavidDavid]

Farpit, take a chill pill, its a map, you WILL get over it, i did, so you will.

Just leave PB walls alone, jump onto something else there are many more objects, And if you cant get overr you PB wall problem make an area big enough for town to sit, Do all of the other stuff on new editor, and do town last on old editor

 

[Far]

town doesnt work in old editor eitha. jus doesnt show up properly. iv already done all the otha town typa in otha maps. wld look stupid if i used the same objects.

 

[SmavidDavid]

Well i got objects other people got, but dont use. (some nice buildings, all built and atributes sorted) Map editinf isnt easy, if you make your own objects from tiles. I suggest looking through P69 and RageZone objects, as they got some preety tasty objects :P

 

[Far]

yeah iv seen em all. all imported from otha games, they dont suite mir imo.

ah well. i suppose ill have to think a way around it then.
