Edit World Help (Q's)

Post by Raem_Lylar »

I installed edit world, but it is asking me for directory preferences (most likely because there are no registry entries).
What exactly does that mean?

You need to set the directory preferences, like shown at the beginning of the compiled html help file, because it needs these to be correct. Knowing editworld it probably won't work else.

I saved a project and then attempted to open it. The editor had an error reading IMD, what does that mean?
Attached the .lnd file so you can check it out, if you have time enough of course...

.

- I put your .lnd in my 32EW Samples Folder, launched the Editor, set the Tile Texture size in Map Prefs to 128, loaded
your project from the Samples Folder and viola, there it was in my workspace to be edited. In other words, no Errors -
it loaded just fine.

- regards, whipper.

have had a look at your map - for some strange reason it will NOT compile due to a player missing a truck.

made sure all players had a truck and a command center and OIL WELLS ( you have to make sure to place oil wells BEFORE the derricks - all your bases had an extreme amount of derricks but no oil under em.)

anyways... will still not compile. will start fresh and see if that makes a difference. :stare: :stressed: xD

I think i used the wrong droid...

EDIT: yup... its the constructiondroid, not the constructordroid... the editor doesn't make that very clear...
The derricks themselves make power... it does not matter if their is oil or not...

EDIT2: The map will not load in warzone.
