Problem with Mission Editor

fitzcarraldo · 03-24-11, 04:35 PM

Hi mates: I´m a completely newbie in SH4 Mission editor, but I have some skill in the SH3 ME. When I open the SH4 ME, I obtain a black map. All the tools, menus, etc, are OK, but the window with the map is all black.

I try it with and without the ATI CCC activated and with diverse setups, and no positive result. I don´t know how to make work the damned editor!!!

The SH3 ME, in the same PC, with the same ATI setup, etc, works fine...

Some help, please! I want to work in the RSRDC

Many thanks and regards.

To get a "map", you must open a new or already existing mission. For example: Alt, File, New mission. If you are already doing this and you still can't see any map, something is not right.

Thanks, TorpX. And yes: something isn´t right. I open several MIS files, but the map ever is black...

Best regards.

I feel your pain!! Although I've not got an answer for you.

For some reason with my Vista operating system computer using an ATI 4850 graphic card I'll get the mission to appear but when I try to use the measuring device, the attempt to drag the mouse from one point to another opens up a "white box" that shows multiple lines and distances (so many that its impossible to read anything). For this reason I went back to using my other computer, a Windows XP using an ATI 4600 series video card, with no problem when using the editor.

What's it all mean?!? I don't know, but the older card works fine with the editor while the newer one does not.

Many thanks, Scurvy. The problem is I try to use the ME without run the CCC. I think without the CCC the graphic card don´t charge the options. The ME have the black map with and without the CCC running...

I tried the ME with and without modded SH4. With SH4 1.4 and 1.5, pure stock, the ME also have the black map

Best regards.

What settings are you using in CCC?

Mine:
AA 16x
AF 16x
A.I. standard (=dual GPU enable)
MM HQ
Sync On
AAmode SSAA
OGL Triple On

Ver. 10.9.
If I use newer versions I get horrible double-image at hydrophone station.
Unless using AA 16x or disabling one GPU...

The same settings, but I use 11.2 CCC...With 11.2 all works fine, but the ME, with black map. SH4 with good graphics, no problems.

Downloading now the 10.9 from AMD site, I will try with it.

Many thanks.

If not too late before you're "downgrading", could you first try disabling A.I. (tick the box)?

If same, then enable again and try setting set AA Mode to AMSA...

Thanks in advance!

Mine often comes up black, I simply put the cursor on it and click a few times and it goes to normal....not sure what it is for me.
