[KnightsaMerchants]

Alright i Got the game.
I had to torrent becuase my cd is scratched at music 5....
But it's working fine!
I got this mission editor working.
But even when i right click, the menu wont come and my comptuer CRASHES.
It's so anoying.


Please help me lewin.

What do you right click on when it crashes? I don't understand what your problem is.

[KnightsaMerchants]

It wouldn't open and it crashed my computer, But i just had to reinstall it.
All i am having trouble with now is Kromes Elevating!
And also when i create a map and try to load it on your mission editor, It isn't a selection. I make sure it's .map. The error reports: File not found. Please clerify file name. Or Does not contain !set_Map
Please help me.

Are you the user Purple from my mission sharing site? Your problem seems similar. If so I replied there, and this is what I said:

Make sure you have set the "KaM Directory" properly under settings. It should be set to the folder that contains "KM_TPR.exe" and "data", normally something like "C:\Program Files\KaM - TPR\" To set it go the "Settings" on the main menu then "Set KaM Dir". This should fix your problem. If not then check that the "Map File" node under "Generic" in the tree view is set to something like "data\mission\smaps\Purple.map" (or whatever your map is called) The map MUST be in your KaM directory.

. Thank you for helping me. I look foward to talking to you more, about the editor. Theres still many to learn. Thank you for your time. I really apericated it. Once i did what you said and it worked, I just HAD to give somone a hi-5. Thank you so much.

Best regards

Transfered from off topic thread.

I created a map, I made sure there we're no, scripting errors, But when i try to start in in the game, Error report pops up. :/

There could be a lot of reasons that your mission makes KaM crash that won't be detected by the mission editor. Here are some of the most common ones:

- Make sure the map file does not have any spaces in the name. "My First Mission.map" will not work but "MyFirstMission.map" will work. If you have spaces rename the file and change the "Map File" property under "Generic" in the mission editor treeview.
- Make sure the map file exists and is in the right spot. If the mission editor loads the map and says it exists then you should be okay. The best thing to do is to put the map in "data\mission\smaps" and set the "Map File" treeview property to be "data\mission\smaps\MyFirstMission.map" (but make MyFirstMission.map be your map file of course)
- Make sure you have victory and defeat (lost) conditions.
- Make sure you have some "Map Revealers" near the buildings or troops of the human player.
- Make sure you have at least two teams each with at least 1 building or soldiers.

Check all of these things then get back to me.

It works!
I'm so excited! Please excuse me grammer.
I am going to type fast:
I finnaly thanks to you got it working. Everythings working teams etc. BUt i cant get the enenmys to attack. only at beggining i can.
wAN'T TO TRY it out? this is my first working mission ever made from me.
So it isn't the best. But it's in beta testing atm, But i like it. I just need to make the map look cooler!

Please check here more often, i would apericATE it. and their attacking. But my allys arent.

[Lewin]

I'm glad it worked. I suggest you thoroughly read the help file for my editor (click Help -> Help on the main menu) It explains everything I've helped you with so far and should fix most of your problems. Also read the documents written by other people (that are included at the end of my help file)

I check this forum almost every day and reply when I have the time. I am not your servant and I have a busy life, especially at this time of the year. I will continue to check it when it suits me.

[KnightsaMerchants]

Well, I didin't mean it to sound like that.
I just would like to know when to check the forums.
Of course your not my servent.
And i can see how your trying to get rid of me, Slowlys but successful.
Your wish has been granted. I will leave you alone. I will no longer comment no this forum/Mission editor site.
I will just translate my english, to dutch on another forum.
Sorry for bothering you. I really didin't mean it to sound like that. But to be honest, i don't see how i am. I asked you if you could do somthing, And you call me bossy? Fine then.^

[The Dark Lord]

Exactly where did Lewin call you 'bossy'? You said you asked Lewin if he 'could do something'. Now he helped you, thanks to him you understand how to make your mission work, and now you ask for more and more without giving anything back (like 'thanks'). Lewin just said he is busy and now you're going to hide and cry in a corner? You should understand that Knights and Merchants is a very old game and that we are pretty active for such an old community. You need to be more patient, whether you post here, on Lewin's website, or on the Dutch forum...

[KnightsaMerchants]

Didin't you read above? I wish to no longer contuine this.
End of story please, i don't feal like arguing, It's my break.

How ever, i would still like to talk to lewin, i did not mean to upset him and hes very nice. I just wanted him to try out my mission.

[Lewin]

I'm not "trying to get rid of you", I was merely trying to help you to find solutions to your problems without having to ask me and wait for me to reply. I'm quite happy to help you, but it takes time for me to get back to you and you can learn a lot of useful things from the help file. I've helped a lot of people get into mission making over the years, so I know the kind of mistakes people initially make (I guessed correctly both times with you) and I tried to explain some of them in the help file. That said please keep asking questions, I'm just saying the help file may hold some answers for you that will be quicker than asking me about each little thing. I was trying to help you get rid of your problems more easily, not get rid of you.

I don't want to argue either. Just have some patience, I will most likely get back to you within a few days. It doesn't mean I'm not interested and it doesn't mean that no people are active on this fanbase. The Dark Lord is right, considering how old this game is there are still a lot of active users. Also a lot of people read it without posting, and a lot of people just check the sites every few months to hear the news.

I'm happy to try out your mission and give you suggestions if you like, email it to me.
Don't stop posting, that won't achieve anything or help anyone.
Lewin.

[KnightsaMerchants]

Your right.
I need to achieve more patience.
I'm sorry for acting like an jerk.
And may i contuine to ask like tips for the mission?
It's still in Huge beta, I don't want to make it to hard, or too easy.
ANd i relized the troops have already in a complete stratetgy without your guidence. SO i'm going to remove that. I will post it soon for you, But please dont sumbit it. I want to make major changes!

Thanks.
