What objects are you putting into the map? Are they in the world folder? If they're vehicles, they need to be mentioned in the LUA file.

Okay a couple of rather noobish questions which I'm sure you've done:

1) Are you opening ZeroEditor from Data_ModID? Or just Data?
2) Are you saving the map before closing ZeroEditor?
3) Are the changes you've made anywhere near the CPs? Otherwise you may not see them.

How to make your changes in ZE appear ingame

Post by AceMastermind »

Whenever you make changes in ZE, you have to save your progress in ZE by clicking "Save" in the upper lefthand corner, then overwriting your .wld file.
Then you must munge your changes for you to see them in-game by going to:
data_ABC/_BUILD/Modtools VisualMunge and click on "munge"

Yeah make sure u save (and say yes when it asks u if u want to replace). Then you run Visual Munge form within data_ABC and munge. It makes me feel so good to not be the only clueless person on this website :yod:

Don't forget to munge your changes

Post by AceMastermind »

You must "munge" your changes for you to see them in-game!
go to: data_ABC/_BUILD/Modtools VisualMunge and click on "munge".

Go play
