This program goes only on x64?

Yes, it requires 64bit system, and DX11

First of all: Thank you ozonex for your great work!

But i have a problem adding more starting positions to an existing map, in my case "Mezmerising Paradise".
If i add two or more starting positions and save the map then i don't have any starting positions at all when i test the map in SC:FA.
I can open it in the skirmish lobby, but i don't see any entries in the list for the players.

This is what i do (roughly):
- Open the map
- add two preset starting positions
- change the name of the dummy ACU markers to ARMY_09 and 10 (symbols change to ACU symbol)
- add the armies to the list of armies
- save the map

Even if miss something on the new Armies, why do i loose the other eight?

Can someone give me a hint what's wrong?

To add armies, you just need to add more armies in Map/Armies under FFA team and their name need to be unique. Make sure you don't have extra_armies named the same way or it will conflict.

Then, when you have army, add blank marker and name it the same way. It change icon, when it finds any army with that name. There is nothing more to be done. If you lost armies, then it looks like you somehow breaks configuration of armies in scenario.lua

Try again following these instructions. If it still now working then send me your map on PM and I will take a look.

I don't know how to set the correct file for the map path, whatever I do it just says the data is not present. I got it working before but forgot how.

The only thing you need to set up to make it working is to provide it game installation path in Edit/Preferences.

Then just click File/open and select your map

My preference for the installation path is this: C:\Users\chaun_000\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

does it need to be something else?

Yes, it need to be to where the game is installed. Usually is somewhere in c:/program files/[gaspoweredgames or steam/apps]

How do I remove mountains? I want to get a flat terrain of fixed height.

EDIT never mind, someone explained me already, you can set the "Max height" in Terrain / Heightmap to the desired level.
