Zero Editor Crash on Loading

I've just started having issues with a map I'm making, where ZE crashes the moment i select the layers to load for my map. I press load, select my .wld, select the layers, press ok and then my map crashes. No "not responding" messages or anything like that. ZE just closes instantly. This does not happen with other maps, just the one I'm working on.

The only things I've done have been moving CP's around, adding one object, adding lighting, and changing the terrain size. I can't see how any of these would crash ZE, though.

Here's my HEH.wld:

I've tried a search on this site, but i didn't find anything helpful.

I'm also fairly certain that there's nothing wrong with that .wld file, as its almost identical to that of another map which works fine in ZE.

If worst comes to worst, i can restart my map, as I've only just started working on it, luckily. However, it would be good for me to fix it so that i can deal with stuff like this in the future. Thanks in advance!

This is pretty similar to what happend to my map by the looks of it. Mine is getting fixed by a pro though.

Try loading your map on another comp!

Tean will be flattered to hear that :) . I did look at your problem, but i have a feeling it won't make a difference in my case.I did all the work on this one pc, and it is certainly good enough to run ZE fine.

Did you edit one of the files in the world1 folder?

You can try making a new map called HEH and replacing the new .TER, .WLD, .LGT etc files with the old ones. Replace them one by one and try to load the map after you replace each one to see which one is causing the problem.

Thats a good idea. The only problem is I'm too lazy to do that :P . If thats the only thing i can do, i might as well just make a new map.

Why does him editing anything in the world1 folder have to do with this. Can it cause a crash?

What did you change your terrain size to?

Yes, it did for me when I edited one file (But it was my mistake).

16x16 which is definitely a power of 2.....isn't it?

Yes it is indeed a power of 2 but it is also very small. Having a fight in a box? :funny2:
I am not sure if there is a minimum size you can set if there is that may be the problem.

You could do like other maps, Jabba's palace comes to mind, and just build it up in the middle then drop the sides away so they are not seen.

Well i just copied the world1 to a newly created HEH map, and it worked fine! I'm thinking it was something to do with the texture though, as i replaced the original, unworking one, with one from another map and it worked, albeit all my models and the terrain were totally black with no texture whatsoever.
