Since you have this problem with all of your maps, I suspect then, it may be a problem with your definitions file rather than with the maps themselves.

You could always just download the server kit again, and start fresh with a new artifex.  Then see if the new copy can read your old maps.  It will only take two minutes or so.

If all else fails I can e-mail you a blank map late tonight.  (Probably close to midnight before I can get to it, unless someone else beats me to it.)  However, if the maps in a new copy of Artifex can't be read, I doubt you would be able to read mine either.

I can read and load all existing maps. I cant create a new one.

Make it 43x22

Thx S'cipio.

Mb someone can beat you to it!

EDIT: Changed it all to 43,22.

Artifex does not necessarily read the definitions text file in its own folder. But rather it will look for the Definitions text file in the folder that Artifex was run in for the very first time on that system, if its not found, only then will it make new registry entries for the definitions text file in the folder of the running copy.

So either remove all the old Artifex registry entries OR remove all copies of artifex (and definitions files) from your system, download the serverkit and start artifex, it may prompt for the location of the defintions text file if not present where the old registry entries indicate...

hmmm Artifex meet NSIS, NSIS meet Artifex... (another project to add to the list)...

edit: 43x22 blank map attached to this post - but you really should rectify your definitions situation...

P.S. I always copy the Map Editor folder in the server kit to its own permanent location like c:\opmapeditor then always run the same copy (and back up my definitions file if I mess with it) and keep all my maps there in one handy location. This way Artifex does not get confused about its location.

P.P.S Also - use extreme care with your definitions files when editing EAW and OP maps on the same system.

I'm on TS now, and its probably easier to just search your harddisk for all copies of Definitions.txt associated with Artifex and delete them all, (except from archived serverkits and other software - check folders in search results...) then pick one copy of artifex to run permanently, make sure it has the right definitions file and run it, as I recall it should prompt you for the location of the definitions.txt file - select the correct one in the same folder as the copy of Artifex you just ran.
