Level Design Edit Map Info

[Rush]

I've being trying to familiarize myself with RO2's editor by following danh's tutorial. The tutorial is great, but I can't figure out how to edit the MapInfo.

At the end of his tutorial, it simply says "If you set up the MapInfo correctly, you can right click on your terrain and select play from here!" MapInfo is a link to the Tripwire wiki, which contains a page on MapInfo but I can't access it after creating it.

It shows you how to create it (the blue arrow -> ROMapInfo), then the next frame is editing the settings, but I don't know where to find the MapInfo window. Hovering over the MyMapInfo section in the World Info says access through GetMapInfo()/SetMapInfo() but I honestly have know idea what that means.

I tried this before and was stumped by the same issue, but I'm not just going to let it stump me this time. Any help would be appreciated.

there's a blue arrow on the right side, click that and choose romapinfo

I've done that, but nothing happens. No windows pop-up or anything.

strange, so it doesn't look like this, after you select romapinfo it should allow you to use the drop down menu

hm try to create a new map and setup directly the romap info and tell, if it works directly.

if yeah, you can copy & paste your map stuff to the new one.
if not, it could be nice, if you could maybe post a screenshot.

Well it worked when I opened up a blank map and tried it again, but when I went back to the one I worked on it wouldn't work. So I guess I'll do the Map Info first from now on. I'm not gonna worry about copying the content over, it was just a test map so its no big deal. Just spawns and an objective. Thanks guys.

exacttly, that was that what, i would compare to you. i had the same problem too and creating a new map, with setting up Map Info in the beginning. Then you have no problems.

Sorry for the extreme necro. I had this exact same problem and found that it was caused by not giving the map the proper prefix. For example, MyMap vs RSTE-MyMap. Just do a save as and add a prefix (TE, RSTE, WF, etc.) Hope this helps somebody!
