F2 Mapper is not working correct

Xperiment

First time out of the vault
Hey all,

I have a little problem. Some years ago, i modded F2.
Now i would like to start it up again.

I installed F2, Patched it up to 2.01, and patched Children Version
( I only have the German F2)

I had the Mapper on a CD ( but I also tried to download it, thought it could be a different Version, dono)

But now, after installing the Mapper the problem appears:

Everytime I try to launch the Mapper, the Screen is totaly Black
( I remember this happened before, but I only had to press ESC to the the Menu Bars)

but nothing happens, the Black screen goes away after 5 Seconds and returns to Desktop, like the program has never been started.


Do i have to make an Folder with Critter Dats or copy some Scripts from my F2 to the Mapper ?..

I tryed to compabitly mode on Vista, or starting as Admin, didn help.

Thanks 4 helping, if u can.

There are loads of other threads on this same problem if you want to research your particular case. Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago, and the thread that helped me the most at the time was here. In my case, the trouble was that my pro_crit.msg somehow got corrupted, and restoring a backup of that file fixed the problem.
 
ok Ty, i have looked up on the Board 4 some Mapper problems,but could find any results. Thanks though. I will read it up.
 
I met this problem when i first installed the mapper, to fix it i put all .DATs in the mapper folder and then corrected some values in mapper2.cfg (I do guess you are using the officially released mapper...)

This is what it should look like for me.
critter_dat=CRITTER.DAT
critter_patches=
master_dat=MASTER.DAT
master_patches=PATCH000.DAT

If critter_dat or master_dat is empty or invalid the mapper won't load.
