Map editor bugs 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
list
- when i start the editor, there is a grid in the corner that wont go away (also not with minimizing/maximizing screen)
- when i want to place objects, they dont appear on the mouse to place, just in rare occasions it suddenly appears, when its not on the mouse, its on that corner grid.
- i dont see faction borders when i have the editor in fullscreen, making it windowed again will give me borders again.


can someone help me out here plz? i really would want to make some maps, but so far it does not seem to work....

here a image of what happens:


as i move up more, suddenly it snaps to the grid and thats all i can place it to....

Okay, the grid does nothing and means nothing, it will not show up in game so don't worry about it.

When you load up the editor, MAKE sure you full screen it before you load a map or start a new map, then you won't have the bug where walls and buildings to try place them selves in the corner. Also, if you zoom to far out then you will not be able to see what you are placing it will disappear so don't zoom so far out.

FFS even the editor drives my crazy.

now i was zoomed in and was able to place something.
suddenly the editor think "it would be cool if the only place you can build is in the grid!"

and from that moment on it places EVERYTHING in the grid and i have to move it afterwards....
so i guess i just try to reboot the damn thing.


as for making it fullscreen when i start the editor:

I can see the estate borders fine in full screen so not sure what is wrong there, but if you window mode it while it is loaded up then it will not place correctly only half the map will let you place buildings.

If you window mode it you cannot just re-load a map you must restart the whole editor. its annoying but as long as you don't window mode it you should be able to place buildings just fine.

Re:Map editor bugs 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
Yet another bug:



Full size (1920x1200) Here

as you can see in the distance is waterfall 1.
in front in the grid is another waterfall.....
as you can see in the Entry list in the left, there should only be 1 waterfall.
so how DO i get rid of the one in that idiotic grid now ?

edit:
even ingame it is there now... seems i cant get rid of that waterfall anymore now ?

Re:Map editor bugs 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
seems like the waterfall is totally bugged.

when i delete waterfall 1, it also is deleted in the grid.
once i place one again, its also back in the grid.

Edit 1:
when you place a new one its not in the grid added.
once you save and reload the editor it its there again it seems.
strange..

Edit 2:
and now, after deleting all waterfalls, the editor crashes each time i want to switch between windowed/full screen......

Edit 3:
Did ANYONE figured out already how to get rid of the scarecrows in your stone fields ?!

Strange, the scarecrows don't show up in any of my custom maps in the stone fields. You have nothing in the event editor that might cause that?
