"The Map Editor Resource is not installed" - Help Please

[Ooer]

When I click "map editor preview" i get that message, "Map Editor Resource not installed".

I have spent the last 30 min looking for an answer, and no one seems to have answered this large problem. I feel that I am doing something wrong.

I am on Windows Vista, I have GTA:SA ver 1.0 and MTA:SA ver 1.0 dp 2.3

It works fine online, I can join any server.

I may be a retard, but please can someone answer my question clearly and easily. Thank you

Max

You're using the wrong version: the map editor does not work in DP2, and never will.

Use a 1.0 nightly build instead.

Thank you guys, is working. Do you know any good links to a basic race tutorial? How to make a spawn point, check point and maybe even a car change check point.

Thank you for such a fast reply, love the MTA community

The editor uses EDF files for defining special types of gamemode-specific objects that can be placed. Like spawnpoints in any mode, different pickups in race, etc.

However, the EDF for race is, as far as I know, not ready yet...

please use the editor provided in mta race 1.1.1 for race maps right now. the race edf, which makes it possible to create race maps in the new editor, will be ready soon. You can convert the maps you created in mta race with this tool: http://www.mtasa.com/files/apps/1.0/raceconv.zip
