I have been having some very minor editor problems. The problem is this:
I couldnt get teh editor to build anything! no units, powerups, no ground NO NOTHING!!!
If you've got no ground that's because you haven't got a map loaded. Try running
path\bzedit.exe -map XXXX.bzn
from command line if you want to edit a specific (ie: XXXX) map.
Ok, but, I was hoping I could just start frmo scratch in making a new map. but ill try that and tell you what happens
If you have a shortcut to the edit.exe, just put in a space then "/nobodyhome" (minus quotes) into your shortcut.
Start up the editor
Go to load
Go to Missions
Pick a folder of a map you wish to edit
Click OK[/list:u]
You now have an empty map that you can do with as you please. If you wish to use different textures, that gets a little bit more involved but is still easily doable once you get the hang of it.
