I saved it to the Savedlevels folder but i can't seem to get it loaded in game. Any suggestions guys??

would you care to explain more on the problem? You say you can't get it loaded, does that mean there is an error that pops up when you try and open it, or does it mean you can't find the map at all? Maps in the savedLevels folder must be of extention png and must be indexed with a maximum of 113 colors, otherwise it will not load in WA. if you have a bmp or jpg you can put it into the import folder and import it in the level editor in game.

most likely your png is not 8-bit.

sorry 4 not being clearer. yea i just can't find them at all in the game. they are .png i downloaded from the www.wmdb.org site so i know they all work. my png is not 8-bit? how i find that out??

It sounds silly, but are you looking for them in the right place? You need to go into the map editor and use the drop down menu in there, it's not the same as clicking the drop down menu in the hotseat game menu.

ah, i know theres some chute race maps there that wont work, theres a sonic one and some other one... i assume too many colours or something.

haha nah actually i was looking in the wrong place but when i did what you said, it still didn't work. That drop down menu in there is blank. hmmmm

i feel like a super noob

Open your Windows Explorer and have a look in the User\SavedLevels folder of your game. Are there png files in it, or zip files with maps u didn't unpack? Can you open the files with an image viewer? Also: did you upgrade your game in order to handle colored maps?

ShootMe: I believe the max colors are 112 and not 113 stored in 8-bit png format? Read that somewhere on a map making guide...

112 excluding black (black = transparent) 113 including black :)

D'oh! So all may maps had to do with 1 color less all the time... sniff ;)

112 excluding black (black = transparent) 113 including black :)

hang on a minute !

I should really make a new one, but I guess I could never have imagined needing to use it twice.
