Black Nav map problem

[Pisces]

Whoops, totally missed that part about it being a demo mission.

I think I have found out why:

In the ConvoyAttackDemo.ms file (but the others similarly) are the following 2 lines near the top.

GRIDNAME "Kilo Demo_grid.dgd"
TERRAINNAME "Kilo Demo_terrain.dgd"

In (any) other scenarios (like Subguru's Ambush) I can't find such references to .dgd files. And the Demo_grid.dgd is not part of a propper 1.04 instal of DW.

Maybe if you remove those lines from the demo scenarios the black map is solved.

Guess what ? it seems to have fixed it ! I'll do some playing of the scenario to see how it plays out and if it really IS fixed. Everything so far seems to work fine and I can see the map again !

This makes the mission playable, but it still won't show up in the mission editor.

This is great news. Is there any chance these corrected missions (from the BrettDez pack on Bill's site) be uploaded somewhere please, as I wouldn't have a clue how to fix them myself.

It's these ones: http://www.subguru.com/DW_missions/B..._Scenarios.zip

VERY easy. Right click on the mission file. Select "OPEN" from the menu. A window will come up saying Windows cannot open this file and will geve you a choice of using the Web service to find the appropriate program or selecting the program from a list.
Choose "Select the program from a list"
Scroll down the list and sellect "Notepad"

You'll find that these scenario files are actually text files.
Then for each scenario delete these two lines:

For Convoy Attack: delete
GRIDNAME "Kilo Demo_grid.dgd"
TERRAINNAME "Kilo Demo_terrain.dgd"

For Convoy Defense: delete
GRIDNAME "Kilo Demo_grid.dgd"
TERRAINNAME "Kilo Demo_terrain.dgd"

For KilovsViktor: delete
GRIDNAME "MH-60 Demo_grid.dgd"
TERRAINNAME "MH-60 Demo_terrain.dgd"

For MH-60 ASuW: delete
GRIDNAME "MH-60 Demo_grid.dgd"
TERRAINNAME "MH-60 Demo_terrain.dgd"

Then just select save. (not Save As) and you're done.

Quick update: made those edits to the missions and they work fine now. Thanks Blacklight for your help!
