Yes, the .bzn and whatever-the-other-file is. But I do not get the .bmp at all for some reason.

I'll try something and get back to you later.

Ok thanks!

You have to take a screenshot and select the map image and crop everything to it and then resize it and save it with the right settings(160x160/bmp).

Oddly enough, my .BMP files never saved with my map. In order for me to get them, I had to take a screenshot of the map before I exited the editor, then resize it, and pop it into the .bzn folder myself.

Ok, I need some help, When I create the "camera_1" stuff, I can only get to "camera_3" If I try to go on a yellow line connects camera_3 to what should be camera_4, and renames them both camera_3

Anybody know what I should do?

[086goinfast]

Delete cam 3 and do it again. Sometimes they get connected to form a path...it just happens.

cough cough.... Anything you want as a camera must have on one simple circular point. this can then be independent from the other point to create Camera_1 .... Ectra...

I have a minor question on this. I just found out about the map editor a few weeks ago now. Yeah that's bad because I've had the game since 04 and never knew about it. I've been working on a map but for some reason when I set everything up like a series of stations and ships for example like in this map they won't be there in the game. The map is set up to be an 8 player map. Is there something else I should do to make it to where you can beam to the stations and ships from the start? I've made it to where they have no crew and stuff like that. The first team I tried was team 0. Did I label that wrong or something.
