Importing into game

[xero]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem getting my map into the game...
I had one island that I was working on, and I managed to get it into the game with a .wrp and a .cpp file in a .pbo, but then I started work on a new map (screenshots coming soon I hope).

I used the same .cpp with the names edited and I removed the first map from the addons folder, tried again and again to get it to work but to no avail.

I've come to the conclusion that the .wrp file must be the problem, my question is what are the common reasons for problems such as mine? It's probably something simple but I just can't work it out.  

Thanks for any help or possible solutions you can come up with, it'll be greatly appriciated by me and my team.

What exactly happens?

do you get an error message?

Crash to desktop?

or does the island just not show on your list in the editor?

The map simply doesn't show in the mission editor screen where you select islands.

Thanks for the help guys  

I renamed it and used that cpp as a template and it worked, I think it may juts have been a silly problem with the naming of folders/files. Sorry to have wated your time.

Now some bug fixing :'(
