Having an issue with maps

posted on June 3rd, 2011, 8:20 pm

Hey all, thought I'd post this here as I'm not sure if it's a bug or an issue my end.

Basically, my directionaly light won't change colour. I'm doing what I always do, double click and then change it to the colour I want; but it's not saving the change when I close the menu.

Now, it always worked before - and it only seems to be since the last update; so I'm thinking it might have been a bug of somesort. If anyone could check their end to see if they can change the colour and report back I'd be ever so greatful  .

make sure you dont have a version of your map in both your installation and user folder. at least while working on your map its probably best to keep it in the user folder

I'll have a look, though I've not saved a map yet so I don't think the file exists anywhere; let alone in two places. Thanks for the reply though.

When creating a new map the map editor will create a new file for you at startup.
Not shure why your directional light doesn't change colour when you tell it too.

Ah, I shall take a look while the editor's running. May simply be that it's not writing to two of them, so it's resetting to default.

The light's haven't gone on strike have they? Did the dev's pay the electric bill for this patch? 

EDIT: Checked all the map hideouts, still nothing. Tried it on an older version of FO and the light colour updated as soon as I closed the properties menu; so something in the new version is conflicting with my system in some way.
