Map editor runs, but it is not functional. [SOLVED]

[Bodzio97]

So I've managed to solve errors to the extent I'm able to run the map editor. The trouble is that I can not use brushes and when I try to import anything apart from maps it closes down.

I have not managed to solve the error where patchnotes can not locate SupremeCommander.exe when it is given the correct directory thought. Although This is steam version of supremecommander, so the version should be the newest anyway and I don't think updating supcom with patchnotes matters.

Can you help me with resolving this map editor error?

It might be important to know that I can select all things, but I can not edit anything on the map.

I've added log files of map editor as attachment.

Is the map you want to edit inside the maps folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Supreme Commander\maps

All editing must be done in that folder, so you will have to copy any maps you downloaded from the vault into this location.

What map are you trying to work with and what exactly are you trying to edit?

I'm trying to edit a map from orignal supreme commander, designed by the game creators which is from the steam map folder. I've managed to resolve one of log error messages, although one more remains.

I've added the log displaying the error message as an attachment.

Can you help me with resolving this error?

See thread

Missing elevation brushes in Map Editor

I've got eaxtly the same problem as the one by the people there, however solution provided there fixes only half of the error for me while it works for the people.

Silly question, but want to make sure everything is covered:

Have you played a SupCom Vanilla game with the current install that is on your PC right now. If you start SupCom Vanilla on your PC does it ask you to create a user name after the starting movie. If so, this may be your problem as the game needs to create a Game.prefs file.

If the above is true, create a user account, start a skirmish game against the AI, start a game, get nostalgic about the UI, and End the game (NOT Exit to Windows). You need to end the game so that it goes back to the main menu as it is at that point any changes you made in your game.prefs file (i.e. creating a user account and setting up all that is needed) are saved. From the main menu, exit to windows and see if you have issues with the map editor now.

Thank you very much it works now that I've played the first game on vanilla version since I installed it.
