Always remember to hit the "Clean" button, before you munge, I spent weeks trying to figure why my sky wasn't updating before I discovered that.

Sorry to bump this, but i have a problem related to this. I edit my map, hit the clean button munge it, get it from the addons folder in the bfbuilder folder. Copy the folder with the munged level, paste it in the battlefront addons folder, play and the only thing that is changed is my lua file. Everything else is the same as when i started. If i open up my levels wld file, the correct world with all the changes is still there.

Make sure you are saving your .WLD file in the right directory.

Do not forget to check if your *.LUA files contain valid directories, especially if you've re-used existing scripts from the Mod Tools...

I am using the bfbuilderpro.hta so that might be the problem.

Bfbuilderpro.tha should not be the problem.
See Leviathan's post "Do not forget to check if your *.LUA files contain valid directories, especially if you've re-used existing scripts from the Mod Tools..."

What he means is make sure there are no problems in your lua, especially if you copied stuff from a shippedm world, that way it would be trying tod raw fromr esources it likely does't have.

Well the only thing i edited in the LUA was the unit numbers.

I think the problem is your not saving to the correct place of your .WLD file. Makes sure its in <yourmapname>data>worlds>yourmapname>world1

Also I belive the Bfbuilder file has to be under your C: drive. Make sure thats happening.

You must also change a path in this *.LUA file to point to your map's *.LVL file... And what *.LUA file(s) did you re-use ? (Hoth's, Rhen Var's ones, etc...)

Place the .wld in yourmod>worlds>world1>world1 or whatever it is. Where it was originally created.
