Hi!

I use MTA 1.3 for 2 months, and I only played in DM servers. I really like it, and I want to try myself in mapping. But there's the problem. When I click on the 'Map Editor' button I get some messages: 'Starting local server...' then 'Entering the game...' and after this it goes wrong, and nothing moves. I must restart my PC. I'm new in MTA so maybe I did something wrong. Please help me!

Thanks.

Can't you start your normal server and start the resource map editor?

I deleted the 'editor_dump' folder, then I opened MTA, clicked Map Editor, and it created a new 'editor_dump' folder. When I click on the Host Game button, it's the same.

"Host Game button" I prever to launch it from server folder.

No debug errors in server window?

I fixed registry.db, but nothing changed. :(

After I started the editor: 'Starting local server...' then 'Entering the game...', and than everything was frozen.

Console = black server window

Write in console "start play"

If this works.

Write in console "stop play" > "start editor" and now is the moment to check if the problem is with the server or with the client < your mta/gta.

I can't write anything in the console. It's disabled.

By the way 'editor_dump' folder recreates itself, every time I click on 'map editor' or 'host game'.

Why is writing in your console disabled? O_o

By the way 'editor_dump' folder recreates itself, every time I click on 'map editor' or 'host game'. 

Yes, it will recreat itself because it is a required file. Without it the editor doesn't work.

I recommend you to make a back up from your resource folder if you have important works in it.

There are lots of things not correct and maybe it is handy to re-install your mta. When you download it, you must also sellect server.

A clean start may help.

This is a brand new MTA, I installed it 2 days ago, I didn't do any maps, or something, I just went 2 servers. That's all. And I can't do mapping.

What if I download an older MTA? Is there any useful innovation in the 1.3 version, or not so important?

Possible.

One version for gaming(1.3) and one version for mapping (1.2)

There is no reason why MTA:SA 1.3's editor should not work for you, so the problem is on your end.

You might want to try to install a new MTASA 1.3 copy into a path which does not contain any non-ASCII characters in its name (eg. G:\MTASA\1.3\).

Then, make sure that the folder you have installed it to does not have a 'read-only' attribute set (right click on that folder, go to properties and uncheck the read-only option).

Use the installer from this page: http://www.multitheftauto.com/ (click the Download button).

Once you do these steps, launch the newly installed MTASA (go to your G:\MTASA\1.3\ folder and launch multi theft auto.exe) and see if your problem still occurs.
