Level Editor Help reinstalled game with AMFP assets finally- level editor crashes on launch

**Streetboat** · 08-16-2014, 09:09 PM

so when the 13111111(etc) patch was released ages ago, i installed it incorrectly, in that i forgot to remove the .msh and .anm files. however, somehow, my editor still worked just fine, I just couldn't use any AMFP files. they appeared massively oversized in the editor for some reason.

I just recently took the advice of some folks and tried to start over from scratch- backed up all the stories I wanted to save, and deleted everything else, reinstalled from scratch. this time I made sure to follow the instructions to a T. I'll run it by you and see if you can spot where it went wrong-
1) delete ATDD folder in my 'common' folder in steam.
2) reinstall on steam library.
3) replace the stories I wanted to keep.
4) back up the AMFP files I wanted to move over.
5) remove .msh and .anm files
6) copy over everything (did NOT hit replace with when prompted)
7) installed the patch from frictional, hit replace with.

Now the level editor doesn't open at all, I get the black box crash upon launch every time! wut do?

Go in to documents and check the level editor log (it's the text document). I don't see anything wrong with your installation.

Although, I believe the patch doesn't work on Macs (no idea if that affects you).

You could try replacing the text in your AreaTypes.cfg file with the stuff above (which works for me). That way you can undo it if it doesn't work (just don't close the file to test it out).

**Streetboat** · 08-17-2014, 12:08 AM

it worked! oh, lawd, it worked Big Grin

ok, so now my question is, what other types of .cfg files do you have in your editor directory? Because I was actually missing AreaTypes and had to make a new one with your code, but it worked! Partially. Because I'm still missing parts of the editor; it works just fine, and the AMFP assets now work, but look: the buttons are all blank! Included in this picture is my editor folder, so you can compare yours to mine.

Oh, I'm not sure which ones cover that and I think I might have just found your mistake: You didn't re-install the editing suite, did you?

Regardless, here's the whole editor file if you need it. Unzip (if it's not in a folder called editor, make one for it - I'm not sure if I made one) in to redist

**Streetboat** · 08-17-2014, 12:23 AM

perfect. I'm back in business 100%. you're the best Smile
