Thankyou 'ozonex', appreciate your reply.
I did prety much most of that as my Supcom wasnt even installed so that was installed today. Copied the files as you mentioned but I did not skip existing files when copying from 'Map editing tools' so that maybe my issue.
Also on my second attempt, I didn't copy anything from the FA folders as mentioned in the readme as I just wanted to see if the editor worked okay with just supcom and it's own maps...no luck.
First time round i did copy files from FA as mentioned in the readme ...
"In addition to able place units and textures from Forged alliance in editor you have to copy some files from Forged Alliance installation folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\gamedata
Copy these files:
env.scd
textures.scd
units.scd
into Supreme Commander gamedata folder
and still no joy but may have more luck in trying again. When on the 2nd attempt, I only tried to load supcom maps only with no FA files copied over..
So my query about why the SC Editor loaded..is that infact the map editor' ? I thought it was a 'scenario' editor. Excuse my naviety. Im familiar with graphics etc and have played SUpcom & Fa for many years (and T.A.)
BTW Ozonex, your FA Forever Map Editor looks slick as hell, really looking forward to seeing the development of that editor, looks great.
