Hey all,
Basically I've made a conquest map with with minimal changes to the base template (y'know, flat yavin etc)
the only changes are small bumps in the ground and a little colour.
Ive changed two of the spawn points to 0 but both factions still have a spawn points.
However, when I start its all black, it comes up with the unit selection screen like normal, but when I click spawn nothing happens and on the map there are no available spawn points.
Any and all help is appreciated <3

No you didn't edit the template files in TEMPLATE, did you?

Anyways if you didn't, and just edited the map VisualMunge gave you then make sure you munged your files correctly. Sounds like your World .lvl is missing or corrupt. Do a manual clean, munge your map again and tell me how long munging took for you; if there are any files in data_XXX/_LVL_PC and if you use any fixed munge.bat files.

Im new to modding so im not sure how to do a manual clean, I know theres a "clean" button on the ModTools Visual Munge, is that what you're referring to?

It hasnt worked, its still just black :/

Can you please tell me which OS you currently use and also how long munging takes for you? Can you also please tell me what your _LVL_PC folder contains in "data_(YourMapNameAsThreeLetters)/ _LVLPC" ?

I use windows 8.1 and initial munging takes about 2 to 3 minutes, the second stage of munging takes about 40 seconds.
In that folder there is :
COMMON
FPM
Load
Movies
Shell
SIDE
Sound
common.lvl
core.lvl
ingame.lvl
inshell.lvl
mission.lvl

Thanks

Ok. If your three-letter-map name is (for example) ABC then inside _LVL_PC there should be a folder containing ABC.lvl. This is why your map is completely black. It is missing a world .lvl file. I am not exactly sure what you did why VisualMunge doesn't munge your world files though but it might be the best to go to data_ABC(Example)/ _BUILD/ Worlds /ABC /munge.bat.

Change the following into this: Remember ABC stands for yout three world name/id.

It hasnt worked, i feel it would be simpler to just make a new map.
Thanks for all your help though
