Problem with ZeroEditor

Post by darthtyren »

After I get done loading my map, the Editor shows a black streak through the top, and not quite the entire map is shown. Any ideas what's going on?

Can you post a screenshot of this problem? Does this problem affect your ability to work with ZE? Has any major changes occur with your computer recently?

Yes. But just for that map I am currently working on.

None that should affect it. I can load my test map fine.

Ouch. That could be hardware issues. Maybe not though. Have you messed with anything in /data_[yourmap]/Editor/?

If other maps load fine try copying that world's data to a new map folder and running it again.

You can also try to copy over a new .exe from the data folder to that projects data folder. And if it doesn't work, copy the data\Editor folder to data_@#$\Editor.

Not that I am aware of.

I'll try that.

EDIT:
It didn't work.

I think I will munge and take a screenshot of the map, so you can see what's going on.

are these messed-up buttons only visible on the screenshot?
did you change your grahicsettings globaly with your driver ?(e.g. nvidia control center)
and does your firewall/antivirus maybe not let run ZE unlimited?

Nope. It's like that when I am looking at it.

I'd say one of the file's is corrupted or stuffing up. Off the top of my head, there should be a folder in your data_*** folder which has all the files ZE needs to run. Maybe try replacing that folder with one from a working map?

perhaps this is just an ol'fashioned glitch. Could you try making a new map and seeing if this problem repeats itself?

No, it works, but I still can't load my map.

That would take too long. I'd have to close up my WIP.

So this problem ONLY happens after you load your map, not when you start ZE?
