2. Click the second point to build the road, but do NOT click on the red node of the prefab.
3. Use the move tool to move and connect the road node to the red prefab node.

Thanks a bunch.

You can also use the ALT button to connect nodes with height differences

Any hints to get the map editor working in windows 10?
I have added the base folder and three subfolder
Mod with small test map is loaded for current profile
Still complaints above readonly map and autosave can't find the folder below base says it's readonly'

edit snow:

Code: Select all

00:02:22.816 : <ERROR> [fs] Failed to open file "/map/snow.mbd" in the read_only mode
00:02:22.816 : <ERROR> Error loading map /map/snow.mbd
00:02:22.816 : <ERROR> [fs] Failed to open file "/map/snow.mbd" in the read_only mode

autosave

Code: Select all

It's working on the old XP box (afaik)

Have you tried to run it in adminstrator mode?

Posted: **04 Jul 2015 13:01**

have you tried disabling the 'read-only' flag or some such ?

Yeah both binaries are flagged for "run as admin"
Logged in as admin is the only thing I haven't tried
I will see what sysinternals process monitor has to say

LA-MJ: the attribute on the folder properties is always "marked" as read only
please note what the label says and you see why, the sguare dot instead of a check mark should have hinted it

[EDIT] Think I know why ...

Code: Select all

It looks like a Windows 10 user account rights problem. I've heard Windows 8 also has these problems in some cases, but I never experienced them...

I have disabled UAC for testing purposes
I can save a new map in the base/map folder
I can open europe for editing

Might be a good idea to move your steam 'apps' out of Program Files, i.e. change your Steam Library location

Thanks for this! You just saved me a lot of headaches. xD

This one is really a good tip if you're trying to connect roads/prefabs so I figured it would be a good post to dig up again. Sorry if it's a bit old.
