So I've got some problems with the Mapeditor:
Evertime when I want to create a new Map I can't change the Size of it!
And when I change an exiting Map and creates new Startpoints it will creates on n the middle of the map...

I hope you can Help me  :(

Change the Size:

- Press Crt+R to access the Mapoptionsmenu
- Change the map size in the menu
- Press the OK-Botton
- Save your map with Crt+S
- Then exit the edtior
- Reopen the editor and reload your map
- Now the Size change is activ


Start Points:

- Place your Cursor on the Map
- Hold the ALT-Key
- Press the Left-Mouse-Button
- Doubleklick on the point
- Rename the Point to : Camera_X ( X = Player Number from 1 up to 8 )
- Save your map with CRT+S
- Go to your BZN Directory in your Fleetops Directory
- Open the txt file of your map (it has the same name as the map)
- Scroll to the End of the File
- Check the Starting Points, right is : // Path: "Camera_X" (1 points)
    every Startpoint has to look like this (with the corret numbers in corret order)

- If something is not ok, open the map again and corret it and save it again

After changing the map size, save the map and exit the editor. Then start the editor again and load the map

now it has the new size  ;)

Its important to save your map with CRT+S, only with this command armada generates a minimap

If that wasn't the fault, try to change your resulution to 800x600 and try it again
