help needed please

[adrian101a]

ive become interested in altering the 2 player startup skirmish game
i have editworld and the 2.1.3 scource but edit world wants .ind files and wont open the startup.gam map file in scource data multiplayer ...
thanx

you cant change a already builded map if you dont got the .lnd save.
so... sorry, but i think you have to rebuild your startup.

You can, you have to download lndpack.zip from the legit map sticky, it has the lnd files of all the original maps.

[Delphinio]

i didnt said no. i said without .lnd, no : D.

[adrian101a]

thanx for the help
i have downloaded the IND pack
but on trying to open any .IND files editworld give me the message error reading IMD then error processing data set ?

[Delphinio]

.LND not .IND lol
in 1.10 you had to install edit world into the mainfolder of warzone...
make sure that you got the newest edit world version (for 2.x).

[adrian101a]

thanx
but im lost
what do you mean .LND

[Delphinio]

the filename is .LND (.lnd) : )

[lav_coyote25]

the file extension is .LND for the map editor - i am thinking you need to read the tutorials again... keeping an eye out for the grapics i did up to explain it all.

and yes you can edit the original maps. i am now working on such a map... the original campaign alpha map... altered to make it a bit more of a challenge. xD

[adrian101a]

thanx all
look im sorry if im not grasping this
so far i have the 2.1.3 scource code which contains a lot of wrf files but no lnd files or pcx files
i have the 32 bit editworld and the lnd pack
when i try to open an lnd files from the lnd pack 32bit editworld says there error reading pcx files
i also have WZCK20_v150_Full but that wants wzck data files

[lav_coyote25]

you can NOT mix stuff from the original into the new releases.

if you have - uninstall all of it. reinstall only the mapeditor beta 32. and install only the new release...which ever you need. note that the map editor will NOT work on Mac nor on linux (yet!!).

[adrian101a]

thats ok this is win xp
ok so i have 2.1.3 installed, tyhe scource in another folder and beta32 edit world in its install folder
ive read the tutorial, it doesnt mention .pcx files
but when try to open a .lnd file from the lnd folder with beta 32 it says error reading pcx file

[lav_coyote25]

have you set the folders in editworld 32 beta?

have you followed the graphic tutorial - making sure to read all of the instructions in the pics?

http://docs.wz2100.net/map%20tutorials/ ... index.html


also if need be - what country and time zone you in...

[adrian101a]

hi it doesnt give me the option to set any folders
should i be putting the 2.1.3 scource i the beta 32 folder
or does beta 32 already contain all the necessary files for 2.1.3
ive followed the graphical tutorial but at every option it says error reading pcx file
know its stuck on repeatedly telling there are errors reading various pie files
should i have editworld in the 2.1.3 scource
im wondering cos when i press N it doesnt gives me the set directories menu instead it just says error reading pcx file

p.s regarding time zone and country... england greenwich LOL
