Map won't show up anywhere?

I used the level editor to make a map as shown in MulleDK19's Tutorials, but the Map will not show up in the Map folder.
I saved it multiple times, renamed it, but it just won't show up in the folder. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

Just a quick thought, have you tried searching for your maps on your computer? yourmap.map Might be saving somewhere else.

I will try that, but when saving the map over level editor I made sure that it is in the map folder of custom_Stories.

Edit: I searched for the map but its not coming up. But when I Go to the level editor and go "Open" the map is in the folder where I saved it to.

take a look at the directory that the map is saved in, you maybe looking in the wrong hard drive or your search isn't including that location

RE: Map won't show up anywhere?

Okay, so APPARENTLY Amnesias Folder doesn't like me very much. When I tried to put up notepads for the scripting and all that, it wouldn't let me. All I could create was another folder.
Outside of the Amnesia Folder, it would work.
So now I saved my map somewhere outside of Amnesia, and it appears. I can now just drag it into the folder.

But why does it do that? Why won't it allow me to create anything but a folder in the amnesia folders?

you might not have administrative privileges in the amnesia folder to create/save files

I have the same thing with my C:\ root directory...

Okay, now I try to start the custom story and suddenly the game says it crashed, showing me a lot of .dll files that seem to not function properly. Any idea what might have happened there?

ok, that's strange...
honestly it has me stumpted, it sounds like a permission problem, are you the main account on that computer? if not you should try running it on an account with full admin rights
