Re: Saving ,and exiting destroys my map

[Steff]

Never save two times in sdl1.3. Always close and reopen after saving.

That’s absurdly inconvenient. With frequent saves being necessary due to general instability, that means closing+reopening hundreds of times during the course of a few hours…

[Steff]

Yes.  Not hundred times.  I save around every 5 minutes.  Thats 12 times per houre.  And i also test the made stuff every half houre ingame.  Feel free to fix the bug. Noggit is open source.

I noticed, that texture swapped areas don't save their texture. So, when I swap the texture, save and reopen the map, the texture wouldn't be changed. I tried adding wmos and m2s to the map first, and then swap the texture. After I saved and reopened the map, the texture was gone, but the wmos and m2s are still there.

The log says:
[Error] Is "C:/Users/Bad/Desktop/Games/World of Warcraft/world/maps/azeroth/azeroth_38_26.adt" really a location I can write to? Saving failed.

I checked the folder, to see if the file exists (it does). It seems like noggit doesn't detect the file properly.

You should not use existing stuff for your maps.
Read the tutorial series and do it like it isndescriped there.

I'll take a look. Thanks.
