Okay so I used the tutorial link to fix the code, but now half of the spawn markers show up as being off the map and the map will not load

UPDATE
So now the map is working in FAF but only fours out of the 8 total spawn markers appear to be selectable

Check again if you have all right here http://supcom.wikia.com/wiki/MapEditTutorial_Lesson_3
Named markers correctly, have 8 armies, everything in game configuration and script, as it is in the link.

A quick word as well. The map itself only has the eight spawn points for eight commanders to spawn in. The main problem I have is that the map was working in map editor, now it causes the editor to crash. Also, when I attempted to play it in FAF, none of the spawns showed up in the client and the game itself would not run...

edit: This is also my first time doing anything of this sort, so any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated

There is like 5 things that could have gone worng, I think easiest way for you would be to upload your map somewhere, dropbox or something and give us link.

you had two minor issues. very simple fix.

Why you had no spawns appearing :

In your scenario.lua you had a capital s in standard. needs to be no caps. (i also removed the comma after ARMY_2, not gamebreaking but it seems out of place and a quick test seemed that it caused the commander to not be autoselected but that could have been me goofing up)

Code:: Configurations = { ['standard'] = { //you had a capital S, needs to be lowercase teams = { { name = 'FFA', armies = {'ARMY_1', 'ARMY_2'}, //i removed the , directly after the 'ARMY_2' inside the curly brace },

Second issue : once that was sorted you also had another issue, after the game started it would instantly end. the problem was in your map folder. your script file was named incorrectly. instead of Two shores 2_ like all the other files and as specified in your scenario, your script file had an underscore between Two and shores in the name. remove that and all is well.

p.s. i also changed the spawns (just location) in my test because i suspected that as the issue. one appeared to be invalid (at least in my editor it was) i also reccomend HazardX's marker editor if you arent using it already since it keeps alot of these issues from happening, it also has native support for FA ai markers.

also Reccomend supcom symmetry just because its a useful tool for symmetritizing a hieghtmap and strata (its an alternative to photoshop and easier imo)

sorry couldnt link them because this is new account, but just google them they are on the gpg forums

and sorry if this post was over elaberate, it felt like it while writing but im too tired to fix. GL mapping

The folder structure is probably good, just check if the name is exactly the same everywhere where it should be, so at all places where it should say "Two Shores 2", it is exactly that. Goes for the folder of the map, and all files. The name references in the scenario.lua are correct.

If that looks good and it still doesn't work, put the map folder in a zip file and add it as an attachment.

Script file:

Code:: local ScenarioUtils = import('/lua/sim/ScenarioUtilities.lua') function OnPopulate() ScenarioUtils.InitializeArmies() end function OnStart(self) end

UUnless you mean, Do i have it in, in which case, yes.

Im not overly sure about the folder structure.
It's where all my other maps are, and I can find it on the FAF browser, make a lobby, but it'll say "no valid game parameters"

Have you double checked the folder structure? Also, do you have the script file?
