    Default Problem with playing created maps

    Greeting fellow dungeon keepers,

    Recently i tried to have a dabble in making my own map for some fun and chaos, i made th emap, made the buildings required heart and such, saved it too the folder, and ticked the boxes that are required too play it ( mutilplayer and skirmish ).

    but when i load up DK2, click on skirmish, my map doesnt seem too apeear for some reason, ive tried fiddling around with it for a while but unsure as what is causing the problem. The version i am currently using are DK2 v1.7 and DK editor v2.0.

    I don't have the editor installed on this pc, but there should be a map setting somewhere in the editor that lets you play the game in skirmish or multiplayer.

    Make sure that the level files are stored inside the Data\Editor\Maps folder of the game. If it's already the case, then I don't know. It should be there.

    Perhaps the name of the map is inappropriate or too long? Perhaps it requires a thumbnail (which would surprise me)?

    I've made sure too keep the names of the maps short, such as calling it Gems.

    Could be something i'm doing wrong while creating it, run through of what i do is;

    Open up a new one, made it 80x80, i then added the players dungeon heart along with 4 imps, then i added 3 other dungeon hearts for the Computer AI, along with the 4 imps again, i made sure to tick the box on the keeper menu on the side too make them listed as AI. Then give each a portal for them too claim.

    Then i give them their money source, a single block of gem save it as Gems.kwd.

    could it be something with the way i'm doing it i'm missing a vital part out by any chance?

    I seem too of stumbled across what i think is the problem, when i save the actual map file itself, the editor says it saves it into the data/editer/maps location, but when i actually open the file again going through my computer, outside of the editor, it's not actually there, what happens is that it's being saved as a shortcut to it, rather than saving it as the map file.

    of course... this could be a whole load of gibberish and im making a fool of myself, so sorry if i am haha

    Are you running Vista or XP? If so, you have run run the editor as administrator, or the editor can't save in you programs folder.
