Forum :: Client Editing :: Need help with Map editor

Sorry to be a pain in the arse but ive downloaded the new eo map editor and i go to open map editor and it says could not load a4_font.bmp. any idea on how to solve this problem?

Pleasee help   Thanks  -Xsteve

You placed it in the Program Files directory, I guess?
Try running it as asministrator, the access of the executable may be limited (it can't read other files).

Try removing the file protection on that specific folder. It is another one of those annoying features of vista and up. Not sure if that will even work though.

Have you tried moving the directory outside of Program Files and then running it? Place it in your (My) Documents folder or on your desktop and try running it again. There shouldn't be any protection at all (besides the UAC prompt, if you're running it as administrator).

No need to do this if you run it from a location that has no protection.

Im still getting the same error, any other solutions?

You do have the .bmp in the same directory as the .exe, correct?

Or you could do this if you placed your folder in a protected directory, right? Pointless posts are pointless.

I just tested this against a protected directory (Program Files) on Vista. Working fine. Try getting a clean install.
