I have a map idea that I would like to complete, problem is when I get part of the work done and save it (it does save), I am unable to load it to continue the work on it.

I'm not at home right now so I can't give you the exact error it gives me but the gist of the matter is any map I save I am unable to load to continue working on.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

(I did look for a thread on map loading for editing but found no obvious matches.)

Where did you save it?

In the folder it requires to save it in. I can see the file when I tell it to load but the editor crashes as it loads.

Alpha ME doesn't let you save it to where it can't read it from therefore looking into that makes it irelevant and pointless excercise.

I had this once, luckily not much work was lost - my conclusion was that the map got corrupt during save, brought to you courtesy of a beta bugg-out.

I'm not saying you should give up, but I was unable to fix the map and I even tried some unorthodox things. Reinstall did not fix it for me - you may try however.

Alternatively you could post it here and ask relic to look into WHY the map got corrupt. I thought about it but only after I had deleted mine. Hopefully yuou still have yours.

Hadn't thought of sending the map in, I do have it (pack rat that I am) but I also sent in a bug report since it generates one every time.

please explain what you mean by this as I'm not sure I am comprehending what you are saying:

ME - mission editor - doesn't let you save the map to desktop for example, nor will it let you load it from there. It has to be in scenarios or mod scenarios folder. No other location. So if it's there and won't open - its corrupt.

Well how do you prevent corruption of a map?

No clue - send it in and have relic figure out what went wrong.
