Hello! I hope someone`s still around here helping people with Map Editor It was tons of fun to create your own maps, however 1 tiny detail are missing but dead important:

My problem is that teams doesn´t work. When creating game players can choose teams, but once launched, everyone starts as enemies. What am I missing? The wiki doesn´t help me, those instructions dont seem to be up to date.

What exactly is it missing in scenario.lua after saving? I think editor should support your values. What map is it? I can take a look and maybe add support for them.

That map has strange unsupported marker types like "BlankMarker2". For now there is no way to load such map, marker types need to be changed to standard ones, or i will need to write support for custom marker types.

Looks like you used work in progress build of v0.605, that had lot of changes in rendering and props. There was that error about terrain shader that was caused by upgrading sourcecode to Unity 2018.3. Props are also broken, because i'm working on them.
Download latest (v0.604) stable build https://github.com/ozonexo3/FAForeverMa ... ses/latest

In build v0.605 there will be improvements in memory usage and props selection, but i'm still working on it. In the last days I did not have much free time to sit with him for longer.

Read those links carefully - they both talk about this issue in some detail - but to sum it up.

It happens when you cross a certain border value of the height difference between highest on lowest point of the map.

In simple terms, your elevations from the lowest point on your map to the highest, are simply too great.

Feature request: be able to use the adaptive feature of the map editor without it creating 1000 lines of .... questionable code that contains a lot of random shit I don't need in _script.lua. If the editor where to just create the tables.lua file, then I could read what I need from it myself. Edit: apparently this already kinda works. You can just revert the changes the editor makes to the scenario file, since after initial setup it only seems to write to the tables file. You can also click "no" on the dialog that asks if the script file should be modified, though that results in an error.

Feature request: map editor leaving _scenario.lua alone when it has no changes to save there. Or perhaps have an option to always leave it alone. Every time I save the map via the editor I end up with a broken _scenario.lua and have to undo the change via my IDEs local history or via git.

BTW, I really appreciate having a working map editor. Thanks so much for creating it!
