Title: non-workin mission editor
Post by: rayace1 on February 24, 2011, 08:54:02 PM

I installed an online mission editor, but when I opened the program it would freeze up. :mad:

Every time a new major version of Aces High is released, we have learned to wait a month or two before a corresponding, new version of the Mission Editor is released. Your problem is probably related to that.

However, I just tested two old versions of the Mission Editor, and neither of them "hung" as you described. Perhaps this is because I also retained the corresponding old versions of the Aces High "front-end". I don't know... but maybe that's why my experience is less disruptive than yours.

I find I can always use old versions of the Mission Editor as long as it's resident in the same "folder" with the corresponding Aces High "front-end" files. This allows me to continue editing during these "between releases" periods. Later, when the newer editor is released, I'll test anything I developed during the interim. Sometimes it's easy to make a mission work with both an older version and with a later one. Sometimes it's really painful, so I don't always do it.

I suspect that you don't have the filesystem arrangement that I described. Is that correct?

yes, what i did was to keep the 2.22 patch 1 version with its ME inside and updated a copied file with this new 2.23 patch 2 so I can make the missions on 2.22 patch 1 ME and paste the RES file of the mission on the 2.23 patch 2 missres folder... it works ok with me, see if that owrks for you :) if you want i can send the installer of the 2.22 patch 1 game version so you can use the ME that is available on the website currently
