If you want to keep your saved games, put them in a folder on your desktop. Install EaW as normal then install the patch then map editor. When installing the editor, it will come up with its own path to install to - select it. Once installed, select the map editor from START > PROGRAM FILES > Lucasarts > Empire at War > Petroglyph Map Editor. I strongly suggest that you have nothing else running in the background whilst using the editor and re-installing the game ( Like anti virus, virtual drives etc) If you are still having problems, post in the tech centre forum where it can be seen better DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 okay, so I basicly registed because this thread was so helpful and I cant find help anywhere else...So my first question is: Does the black hole do anything or is it just there? Secondly, and more inportantly, I like big space battles, therefore I maxed out the size of the map, only to find the "spacedome" is only designed to cover a small 10000x10000 map, not a maxed out 100000^2 map. Is there any way to fix this? I played around with the ground maping and noticed there was a space-texture which was just flat and covered everything. In short, is there any way to get my spacedome to cover my entire map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Sith Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes, find the SPACEPRIMARYSKYDOMES.XML, edit the scale factor and wala. You will have to include your modified XML with your map though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 oh, well I've got a whole folder of modded XMLs(since I'm playing a modded version of the game) so that shouldnt be a problem. New question, I saw this asked by somebody else, but the answer for it dosent seem to fix the problem...anyway, I've got this massive map, and I test it every 10 miniutes or so, but every time I got this "invisible wall" that seems to go arouns in my map, and apparently it's not just one, it seems there are a number of them, all over the map that are keeping me from going, well, pretty much anywhere. What causes this? Whats the remedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What causes this? Whats the remedy? If this a land map, it sounds like the passability got randomized somehow. Go to the height tab of the editor and select passability from the drop-down. If you have a whole bunch of red blotches all over the map, that's your problem - just use the "clear" passability and clean them out, or pick the "reset passability" from the menu. If it's a space map, I'm not sure what the problem is, since there isn't really any passability in space other than the objects themselves.

Web Rider Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 it's a sapce map, which is why it's weird to me as well, since there's no painting of any sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Rider Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 are you running the game at the same time? whenever I tried to run the game while the editor was running or run the editor while the game was running they wouldnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler_Durden Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I built a map with 3 factions, Imps, Rebs, and Pirates. It seems to work fine however, where my structures are placed, the map is cut off. I went to map properties and changed the playable map area to maximum but I am still not able to see or click on any of my structures, the same goes for the pirates and imps. What can I do to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsfm Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 when the map is too big, there are bariers theat your units cant pass, so i shrunk my map. it was the lower and right boarder my units couldnt reach on my land map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler_Durden Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 One more question, I included pirates as a 3rd and 4th faction in the game but they don't attack anyone. Should I remove one faction? I could be using the wrong objects as well, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NacNud Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I've been working on trying to create a larger space map. I have the width and hight set to 25000 with all the playable map area set to 400. The problem is i have all my markers set in front of the startbase and the units jump in fine but they won't go up. A example of this is i have some resource nodes in the corners inside both the purple and yellow border but my fighters will not go up to them. Is there some other setting that affects the area which units can occupy? Many thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsfm Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 never make the map that big, the units cant go all the way to the boarder then, its a bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NacNud Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Well crap. Does anyone know whats the largest size map that will work with the units being able to work correctly over the entire map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 so, the editor allows you to build giant maps, but you cant actually use giant maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsfm Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 i think for space try 20,000 and ground 15 blocks (so that the skydome fits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
