Enter "%appdata%" (without the quotes) in the search box above the start button and press return, that should get you to the folder.
Re: Weird problem with MTA Map Editor - Darius - 04-30-2010
Worked
. Now the problem is that I can't see a 'local' or 'virtual store' folder on there.

Great, I check my MTA Map folder to see this horror at the bottom of the file.

So yeah, 3/4 of my map randomly got deleted. I thought that by saving the thing twice, with a different name it would prevent this. But on the other save I had the same problem. Luckily though, I sent Jay the latest version of my map on pastebin, a quick search on my browser history got me the link and I managed to get it back. I've got a bit to do, but I'm not even going to try because it'll most likely just do that again.
Anybody have any clue whats going on? If I can't fix this i'm out of mapping for good.
Re: Weird problem with MTA Map Editor - Chillosophy - 05-01-2010
Now that I think about it; I did have this exact same bug. You're using the race editor, right? It happened to me after I exceeded some limit (might be 255, but I think it was lower). Maps got screwed up exactly like this. After I upgraded to the DM editor I never had these problems any more. For a lot of reasons I strongly recommend using the DM editor, it's way better.
-edit-
Based on screenshots you posted in another thread it looks like you are running MTA
M. If so, I have no idea what the solution could be. I usually increase the filename for each save, to fall back to older maps in case of a fuckup. lvp-island01 .. etc.
Re: Weird problem with MTA Map Editor - Darius - 05-01-2010
Well actually i'm using the latest map editor. Not MTA Race.
I also saved them with completely different names, and even the other save with different name had same problem.
Edit: 2000th post!
Re: Weird problem with MTA Map Editor - Darius - 05-02-2010
Right, i've got that backup. Copied it all and pasted it onto the map file. However, when I load it up onto MTA Map Editor, and open up that save there are no objects?
Re: Weird problem with MTA Map Editor - Darius - 05-04-2010
Just so you know, until I find a solution to this problem then I won't be able to update my LVP Interiors Map.

Re: Weird problem with MTA Map Editor - Dominator33 - 05-09-2010
I can't come up with anything else then creating a topic at the mta forums, I don't think that anyone has a solution for this, atleast on this forum.
Re: Weird problem with MTA Map Editor - Jay - 05-09-2010
Ask the folk at #mta. It's not like SA-MP, they're really helpful
