Need some help with saving...

[HiHi98256]

Ok, after I make a map, how do I save it?

I went to File>Save Map As and saved it, but it wasn't there when I went to the page where you select a map to play on.

Do you have two copies of the map you used as a base now? For example, if you used Bedroom as your starting point, there would be two Bedrooms now.

[HiHi98256]

Woops, sorry I didn't see you reply...anyway I know that's what happens, but there just wasn't anything there. I edited the kitchen, and then I only saw one kitchen, no copy.

If you look in the base/data/missions folder, do you see your map?

[HiHi98256]

Yeah, it's there, just doesn't appear when I play the game.

If you load bedroom, open the mission editor, click load mission, and then load your map, does it load? If it doesn't, I'm guessing your save got corrupted.

Do you know how to change the author and name lines for a map?

[HiHi98256]

Ok, it appears in the folder, but not when I go to the level select. Also, I used Kitchen, not Bedroom.

Now, I made a map named TEST in the slopes, and that saved, I can choose it when I select a level. But since then I couldn't.

And when I go into the kitchen, open the editor and choose load map, all the levels are there including TEST, but not the one I'm working on.

Also, no, I don't know how.

Open up yourmission.mis in notepad.

Change this:

Code: [Select]

   new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) {
         desc1 = "Author: Eric Hartman";
         descLines = "2";
         previewImage = "base/data/missions/kitchen";
         desc0 = "Name: Kitchen";
         name = "Kitchen";
         saveName = "Kitchen";
To this:

Code: [Select]

   new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) {
         desc1 = "Author: Yourname";
         descLines = "2";
         previewImage = "base/data/missions/kitchen";
         desc0 = "Name: Yourmap";
         name = "Yourmap";
         saveName = "Yourmap";
and save it.

I did that, but it's still not there.

All right, after making my map, while I was still in F11, I went to that thing that has the name and author like the tutorials say, and change them, so that wasn't the problem. Then I saved it, but it wasn't there.

Keep in mind I'm not trying to recover my lost map, I just want to be able to save a new one.

File/Save Mission? It should save unless you quit the map and lost what you changed.

[Wedge]

Oh, I didn't realize you wanted a tutorial, not instructions on how to recover your map.

Step one: open the mission editor.


Step two: open up the missioninfo script object.


Step three: type in your information and click apply.


Step four: click file.


Step five: click save as...


Step six: enter a name and click save.


If you followed that procedure exactly, your map should appear in the Start Server dialog box.

Ok thanks, I did all that, but there must've been something that I did wrong...anyway don't feel bad 'bout me losing my map, it took me 2 minutes to make it...I'm doing something like one guy did who's map name was Bedroom - Flooded, only I chose kitchen, so it's the kitchen being flooded.
