Mapper issue: Error loading objects

[Prosper]

My scenery pieces aren't being loaded into the mapper. It is at zero when i run the mapper. and when i try to open a map it gives me an error. What could cause this?

Ok I fixed it by deleting a 1 kilobyte .lst file.

Did you added new protos, didn't set them read only and started the game? Your problem sounds like the scenery proto list is screwed (or protos are not there/ got deleted by the game). In this case, you need to delet this stuff and redo it.

 

[Prosper]

Correct.

Also do you know a way to go to the end of a list in the mapper without having to hold teh arrow down foreveR?

 

[Mr.Wolna]

use end on your keyboard

Ok my only problem now is that error reading objects while loading map.

Yes, you need to try to recreate the proto list before it was screwed up. It seems like there are objects in the map that the game can not find anymore. So you need to add some objects with the same proto id so that the game can find something. After that you can delet this objects and save the map again.

i deleted the scenery.lst in C:\Program Files\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data\proto\scenery

then i loaded the artemple and successfully created my prototype and chose it's art and also was able to place it on the map. But ingame the map is black!

And the mapper won't load the temple again.
I will see what you mean Lexx.
