Map Editor - Troll - 01-14-2012 Awhile back there was a discussion about the map editor not working properly and in my case every thing was shaded out in green and you could not see any numbers when you wanted to design a new map. Well maybe 2 months ago, I really couldn’t tell you, my map editor works perfectly now except for when I scroll the map and it becomes distorted but can be fixed with a click of the mouse. But besides that, the map editor works perfectly now (maybe because of a windows update) but with a trade off, I can no longer design a scenario where the water is frozen. I can do everything else but frozen water, like snow on the ground, trees etc, but no frozen water. Any feedback? Joe RE: Map Editor - Crossroads - 01-14-2012 I believe the problems are not related. To get rid of distortion, you need to tamper with the properties of each executable in question (map, scn and oob editors), and to choose the "Disable desktop composition" option. For more discussion pls see: https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=56957&highlight=windows+7 As for the resolution for frozen water I unfortunately have no idea ... To add to my previous post, obviously you need to only set the properties of Map editor executable to disable Desktop composition. The peculiarity of this is that the same map works just perfectly in a scenario editor and within the game itself... Seems to be a Windows 7 feature. RE: Map Editor - Troll - 01-15-2012 I used the "Disable desktop composition" option and map distortion is gone, Thanks Still working on the frozen water thingy Joe RE: Map Editor - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-15-2012 Hi Troll,  If we are on the same page, do this:Go to edit scenario. Select your scenario. In the tool bar at the top of the screen, next to "file" is a button that says "scenario". When you click that you will see: Header Conditions Description Airplanes Display File Names Click on "conditions". The second column allows you to select water "Frozen". Have you been there?  HSL RE: Map Editor - Troll - 01-15-2012 Hi mate i can not use that function, frozen water is not usable under the conditions tab. will keep working on it thanks joe RE: Map Editor - Huib Versloot - 01-15-2012 (01-15-2012, 04:15 AM)Troll Wrote: Hi mate i can not use that function, frozen water is not usable under the conditions tab. The conditions are set in the scenario file, not the map file. What happens when you open an existing scenario (WF or EF)? As for the map what climate/area are you using? In some of them "frozen" is greyed out. In the map file the conditions are for viewing only and are not saved there Huib RE: Map Editor - Warhorse - 01-15-2012 It all depends too on what region your map is made under, for instance a Mediterranean can have snow, but not frozen water. What was your map made under? Mike RE: Map Editor - Herr Straße Laufer - 01-15-2012 (01-15-2012, 04:37 AM)Huib Versloot Wrote: The conditions are set in the scenario file, not the map file. What happens when you open an existing scenario (WF or EF)? In the first part I did tell him to access the edit scenario function. The second part sound like it might be the issue. He said the "conditions" area was not accessible.  HSL RE: Map Editor - Troll - 01-15-2012 Ahhhhhhhhh that was the issue, it is a med map like Italy... dahhhhhhhhh joe RE: Map Editor - Warhorse - 01-15-2012 Hey Joe. doe you need it to be frozen for some reason? I may be able to help.... Mike |
