I edited a map.....BUT.....

• Ok. I just wanted to edit a map to see what I could do. I took a look at "(4) Uber Lost Temple.s2ma" And saw how it was done. I did the exact same thing to a map. the ONLY thing I replaced with "MineralField"(or whatever) with "HighYieldMineralField". I inserted

  resources="100000000"

  after the
  position="xxx.x,xxx.x,x"

  part.

  When I load the game it gives me the "game ended in tie" message.

  I do know there are maps out there that are already edited and what-not, I'm doing this for a learning experience. I'm using the Ladik's MPQ editor, opening up "Objects", saving as "Objects"(no extension) then overwriting the "Objects". Could someone please point me in the direction of a tutorial about resource editing, I already read the one about adding units. Or just explain what I am doing wrong?

  I made my code look EXACTLY the same as the one I looked at, except instead of using scale .6,.6,.6 i kept it at 1,1,1. The only code I added was the "resource =10000000" part and changed MinField to HYMinField. It LOOKS the same as a map that DOES work(that was obviously made by someone who knows what he is doing, syko I believe).

  Thanks for any help

  Also, I tried using different AI's, none worked. :)

• Nevermind I fixed it. I was adding the "resources" part in the wrong section. I put a few "resources" after "scale" on accident because some lines lack the "variation" line.

  I was watching a movie at the time and didn't notice this the first time around. :)
