Map editor Bug

[ryan b]

I'm new to the Star Wars map editor, so I probably still need to learn heaps, I made a massive map (as big as it will go) of Hoth as a ground battle. I gave the enem,y heaps of buildings and myself an invasion force, but when I load then map, The units I placed in the editor do not come up in the actuall game. I just get a blank map. If i turn on the Battlecam though, I can see All my units standing there somewhere but I can't reach them.

 

I've placed all the markers, so can anyone tell me what to do to fix this problem???? Cheers

in the walk-through it says that if you put units in using the editor, it may affest the game.

if thats not the case, make sure they have a faction owner and all that jazz.

I have definitly put in the faction owners...but if I use the battlecam i can see the units outside of the minimap???

Have you placed your units inside the yellow border (playable map area)???

If not, you can change the size of it by going into File> Map Properties, then change the settings under the Playable map area.

Thank you Moffa- you finally made it work... I am very inexperienced at all this... the only other problem I still have is that the game runs really slowly in this mission (it ususally doesn't in any other mision)

 

Thank You so much you don't know how happy I am!!!

If your map is too big for your computer than it may just run slow. If you placed loads of units on the map than that can be anouther reason why.

 

An overloaded map will definetely slow performance.

That must be the reason. Thanks everyone!!!
