by smooth over do you mean just running over it with the elevation brushes?

I read somewhere that the editor often crashes on save if your heightmap is too abrupt. Recommendation is to smooth over the rough edges before save. Have never confirmed this for myself though ...

I assume you're using the official map editor. This might be a long shot, but try downloading this one and replacing your current map editor .exe with it

viking .. gurut .. org / Map_Editors / Supcom%20Map%20Editor.exe

Replace double dots with single dots (sorry, the forum is preventing me from posting URL's so I gotta do this weird way).

... i suggest this because one time I did a reinstall of supreme commander and pulled an old copy of the map editor I had on my com and installed it. then the editor kept crashing every time i opened a map or even started a new map.

then I downloaded the one from the link above, and noticed that the file size was actually different from the old map editor I had (difference of a few bytes only) even though the file name was exactly the same "Supcom Map Editor.exe" ..... so perhaps there were different versions of the map editor -- all having the exact same file name and so almost impossible to distinguish between them. one of them keeps crashing (on some coms), and the other doesn't. so try that one and see if it works.

Editor Crashing --- lots

2014-09-01T14:15:12+02:00

Ok so I am pretty new to map editing but made one little map and that worked fine.

Went round to my Bro's at the weekend to have a map making session, however the editor just keeps crashing now on both our machines.

It seems to be when you have added a few elevation brushes, then click Save it crashes without saving.

Would love to get in to map editing but it's impossible.

Any ideas as to why it crashes ? What I can do to trouble shoot it?
