Edited original maps don't show edited stuff...

[Aamaxu]

As the topic states(to some point) I tried to edit original maps and NOT to make new ones. I edited, started the game and OF COURSE it didn't work(meaning that tent isn't now Vaultcity building).

Anybody care to tell me why..or how to get them work?



-----EDIT:-----------------------------------------

Thanks ColJack..should have posted straight to your forum.
I'll give it a spin.

Well, it works for me. But did you start a new game, or did you load a game where you had already visited the original map? If you loaded a game, then it will not work, since the game will use the map information from the saved game.

yup..i started new game but it didn't change that damn tent at the Vaultcity where there is that damn half-dead Charly...or Harry...stupid game...i want to change the maps...oh what is the matter with my game and map mapmaker?

you need to have your maps in the

c:\program files\blackisle\fallout2\data\maps

directory.

if you have the patch installed, then the patch may contain an updated map for the town, and if it does, then the map in the patch superceedes the one in the data\maps directory..

rename or delete the patch.. if you feel the need to have the patch on, then un-dat it to the right directories in the fallout2\data directory.. ( ie contents of art\ to the fallout2\data\art directory, contents of data\ to the fallout2\data\data directory.. ) then re-name or delete the patch000.dat.
