I've been trying to learn ZeroEditor for quite some time now. I've benn going through the tutorials, and it tells me stuff like you'll see this and you'll see that; e.g. for placing new CPs, it says that when I load the CP object, i should get something under my cursor.

I never get anything in ZeroEditor! I can only see black! BLACK! Nothing at all, no matter what I do! I can't see spawn paths, regions, boundaries, or anything else. And yes, I make sure that the view options are enabled.

Please help me!

save and re-launch ZE

Silly question but have you loaded your map first?

Yes, I have loaded my map. I have also tried relaunching ZeroEditor. I've been trying to get rid of this problem ever since the ModTools came out. What I want to ask is: Do you all get this black screen, or is this a problem at my end? If so, I can just forget modding.

another silly question: did you remember to press 'f' to raise the camera above the ground?

WOW! That did it! They should have mentioned it in the tutorials! SCUMBAG! Anyway, thank you - Murdocr; THANK YOU!

Well, i'm not beginning now. My results come out come out on Saturday. That means I'll be banned from using the computer... extensively. Maybe, when things'll cool down here a bit.
