Scenario Editor Issues

Hi,
When using the scenario editor many of the tools (under the Tools menu) don't work. Specifically:
Generate Tiles
Generate Tiles (Current layer)
Validate Scenario
Show Statistics
Options

I'm Das24680 on YouTube and have been wanting to make a tutorial video on using the editor. Without being able to generate the terrain in particular it will make the exercise overly difficult.

Thanks

Same problem here.

And same problem is you just open an official map and try to use these tools.

1. The Editor crashes when you have any kind of custom faction active.
I got around that by using hexadecimal editors, I know other modders won't go out that far.

2. The maps produced by the Editor make the game 100 % unresponsive when you place a certain number of Ork units on the map (I am unsure about which and why) ; you load the scenario, it stays at turn 1 and all buttons (purchase etc) are unresponsive. So you cannot play, and therefore cannot make nice scenarios at all.

3. There doesn't seem to be any possible way to "summon" units from triggers

all buttons mentioned work fine tbh, you just need a good guide and more practice to use them, i'm no expert but beta tested the game for a while and used the editor a lot as i like to alter stuff and have done a few mods for myself and cheated a lot with it, but it really lacks a guide as it's not the easiest one i've used here and tbh it's not the hardest either, but with trial and error i found ways to make it all work, but neither have the time to write a guide or explain it either to others and tbh that's not my job either, and i don't have the skills or complete knowledge to explain it as good as the developers could :oops: :roll: :wink:

Patch 1.0.2 has fixed most of the issues. Only thing I can see that doesn't work is the placement of roads, slopes and cliffs when terrain is generated now which need to be placed manually. I didn't test waterways but I guess if elements that link such as roads aren't working then rivers may not be as well.
