I was working on a map when I went over to another map I had downloaded for reference. I was suprised later when the terrain I had made for a map ended up in the downloaded map! I thought that since the previous map had been just open space (Outer space) and enemies that my terrain would appear. I hit test play and BOOM! All the doodads I had placed where there but I couldn't see any terrain but the water and when the height adjusted the flying unit I was using. Does any one know what happened and how to fix it?
I have both my map and the download no problem but I was wondering how it happened... And how I would fix such a terrain error if it occurred.
I'll see about re-opening it as well and see if results are different.
Whenever you open a map the editor makes a temporary file so you temporarily have 2 versions of your own map, there are some bugs that cause those temporary files to mess up.. it's a bit annoying but I don't think you can do anything about it yourself.

I hope this is the right spot!

It sounds like the downloaded map was overwritten by one of your previous maps. Your going to need to re-download the reference.
Nope that happen to me alot of times. Just re-open the editor.

Really? It actually overwrites files temporarily?
Yup it happen to me more than once. I dont know why but i fix it that way.
