Ok, so I've been working on a new single-player campaign, and things were going well. But recently the editor has become really unstable. For the first few maps I made over the last couple of weeks things were fine, I got them all working, fairly well-balanced etc. but now when I try to make any new maps it just won't have it. I'll make a new map, save my progress and come back to it later and I get errors up the wazoo when I try to load it, other bugs and sometimes the editor won't even recognize my map files, or they won't appear when I try to load them back up. And yet the first 3 maps I made still load up fine. I understand the game is like 20 years old or something, but how can the editor go from working without a hitch a few days ago, to simply refusing to work? I'm just about to toss in the towel, but I figured I've put a lot of work in so I'd see if anyone can advise me on how to salvage it.
For example, my latest map I got to building earlier today. I've done nothing different than on my other maps but when I try to reload this new one now I get the error: 'Access violation at address 004069C6. Read of address 00000000.' Whatever that means. All the map is so far is a basic, campaign-style map with an enemy base and a few tanks and infantry around, I've not even got onto the triggers and 'worky bitz' yet.
And another issue I have is with my multiplayer maps. I made some quickly to test out some ideas, tried them out in-game, and when I went back to the editor to make adjustments the editor didn't recognize them, and they don't show up when I try to load them. Its like the files just don't exist, even though they are still in the right directory. They even still work in-game. The updated default editor that came with the game seems to work fine, too, but I much prefer using the new windowed scenario editor, but its a buggy mess atm. Is it just one of those things I have to work around or am I making some mistake, or will it ever get a fix? I don't know what to do, this is a cry for help, lol.
I know this got a bit ranty, it wasn't intentional but I wanted to make sure I'd said everything I needed to. Does anyone else have these problems and can anyone please help me? Cheers, guys.
