nanuuq Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Dear CMAKers: I have been creating maps for a Pacific Campaign, such as, Tarawa, Roi-Namur. For some reason or another I cannot Load these maps after the first time of creation? :confused: If that makes sense. They are found in the "Battles" file area but they will not load from the "Scenario Editor" screen. Can anybody help me with this problem? Thank you for your time and effort. nanuuq 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoat Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I want to make sure I understand what your problem is. You save a scenario, then when you enter "scenario editor" and hit "load," you can't access the files or you can find the one you're looking for but it won't load? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Did you rename the scenarios? If so, check to make sure they have the proper suffix, such as .cmg for scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuuq Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 No, I can find the file but it wont load when I try to. Also, they both have the suffix .cmg. These were scenarios made from scratch, if that makes any difference. I just started playing around with CMAK so I am pretty new to all of this.

Wicky Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Have you updated / patched your game since first creating the scenarios? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoat Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Can you load other battles to the editor, or are you just having problems with the ones you yourself made? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuuq Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 Dear Wicky: No, I have not updated/patched since I have made the maps. I just started the maps a couple of days ago. And to stoat, I will get back to you on your question. nanuuq 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 OK - how large are the maps and forces you're creating? Also related to the above, what are your system specs? Can you e-mail me a problem file (zipped preferably)and I'll see if I can crack it open. See my profile for e-mail address 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
British Tommy Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Did you use 'tournament save'?? If you did then you can't open the scenario! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuuq Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Wicky: Actually, the maps are as big as I can make them. The only reason I did this was that I did not like having a sand looking box what is supposed to be the ocean surrounding an island, i.e., Tarawa. So I used up every block with water. I did not think that this would be a problem. By the way, is there a way to change that like you can by modding the sky backround? As far as the forces I just put in a battalion each for scale. And will add when the map/scenario are finished. And to British Tommy: I used "save" to save each map/scenario. I think...................................... nanuuq 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The editor is not known for troubles like these so it may be you're just missing a step along the way. Let's just try a test scen. Go to the editor click on New Battle In Battle perimeter screen change the date to 1942 Click through to end. Back in Editor click on Map editor In the map editor place a church or anything easy to see. Click on preview. Note that your church is on the map. exit. Exit oout of the map editor. Back in the main editor screen click on save. change the name from "untitled" to A Test and save the map. exit the editor. NOW: Go back into the main editor screen. Click on Load and find the "A Test" scen...should be one of the first...Click on it and go to the map editor and see if your church is there. If it isn't then I suggest you re-install the game and make certain you follow the patch procedure. In No way to I wish to sound obtuse (allow I really did...LOL) It's just that I pretty sure you're missing a step somewhere around the "save" Please let me know how you get along. The scen editor is a really fun and your on maps are ALWAYS better than the game...or mine! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuuq Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Dear Evryone Who Has Helped So Far: Actually, I think I have found the problem. Thanks to Mark Ezra. I do not think that I clicked on "New Battle" I think that I just started creating the map and then clicked on "Save" when I was done. nanuuq 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuuq Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Dear Anyone Who Can Still Help! I thought that I figured out the problem, however I am still having the same trouble, plus newer troubles, now when I try to look and preview the map that I am creating the game freezes. Any ideas. nanuuq 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
