Omni,

Both scenarios worked fine for me and I was also able to load the world saved map. However, both North Atlantic saved maps abended CtP2.

Since this is a pretty common problem with CtP2 'Saved Maps', could you export the maps as Text based maps instead of/in addition to the Saved Map formats.

Text maps always work when importing.

Sure not a problem guys... although the maps seem to work seamlessly for me... but hopefully (if DSL works) will put them up for you guys to get.

Omni,

I just DL/ed your latest version before I posted my last post (wanted to make sure I had the latest). Anyway, I DL'ed it again just now and nope, the maps are binary maps not text maps. Binary 'Save' maps tend to have some of the same problems as CtP1 scenaris did. They work for the creator but they don't always work for anybody else. Don't know how much you got into CtP1 scenarios but with them you could only create scenarios using the defualt files. If you had a mod pack installed when you created it, it wouldn't work for anybody else unless they had the same mod pack installed. But thats another story.

What I was asking is could you export the maps as Text maps (via the Chat Window) and include those. Then I, and others, could import them without any problems.
