Hello,

I edited some of the official EA maps and included them into my mod after I ran the BuiltMap to create the .manifest ect. In the skirmish menu the maps have no image, only starting places. I'd place them like in the following example of the MapMetaData in the builtmods folder. But I guess I missed something or did something wrong. Please, could you help me?

		<MapMetaData

			BorderSize=&#34;30&#34;
			CRC=&#34;2832794840&#34;

I'm kinda having the same problem, but when buildmap.bat finishes my map is deleted and nothing shows up on the map list in game. I think our buildmaps are messed up.

Yeah, I guess so as well. So we might just reinstall the ModSDK to fix it hopefully...

I've been trying to add weather to my override.xml and it just won't compile my map for some reason, it's driving me crazy. When you save your maps do you put them under "user maps" or "system maps"?

Thanks to Bibber, my "complications" were finally solved.

First of all:

FileName="TPoHW\Data\maps\official\MAP_MP_2_BASS1_MOD\MAP_MP_2_BASS1_mod.map"

shoud be...

FileName="Data\maps\official\MAP_MP_2_BASS1_MOD\MAP_MP_2_BASS1_mod.map"

NOTE that those folders have to be placed in "...\MOD SDK\BuiltMods\mods\[YOUR MOD]". This was one of my major problems.

Second thing:
If you use Bibbers SDK expansions - like me -, than make sure you have...
- ... the variable %fix% within the BuildMap.bat have to be "true"
- ... the HashFix.exe within your "tools" folder of the SDK
- ... the AssetResolver.exe within your "tools" folder of the SDK

Otherwise you get a f****n' gay pink tint and missing objects on your map.

Nice sometimes I hate errors that are so simple...I also managed to fix my problem, when I compile my maps I have to save my maps as system maps and place where I want to save them. Then I have to import my map on map manager and then compile.
