It's been touched on before, this 'Original Scenery Cannot be Modified' error, but I don't think anyone's come forward with my specific issue yet. Here is the deal.

I made a new map in the Soldat Map Maker 1.1. Very minimalist, no scenery, one spawn point, black polygons on a straight white background. I compiled it, and ran several uninspiring death matches with it. A smashing success.

When I tried to follow this up with a larger map, still no scenery, one spawn point, black polygons et al, the map compiled, but wouldn't run. I got the error 'Original Scenery Cannot be Modified'. Now, see, I didn't change any scenery. Hell, I didn't even include any scenery. So I thought this was kind of unusual.

I thought maybe the map was too large, or I'd made too many shapes, so I deleted most of it to see if the I could run what was left. I couldn't. I reinstalled the game and the map maker, but this didn't help the situation either. What could it be? Is the map horribly corrupt? Should I scrap it and move on? It's really cool, though. I mean, if you guys saw it, you'd think, "Yeah, this sucks, but it might be cool eventually."

So what's the deal?

Note: Since the posting of this message, I have run into other, irreconcilable problems with the map editor, and have given up. The several totally badass maps I was making are GONE FOREVER, so WEEP. Cry and moan. The world has been robbed of something very awesome and good.

That is all.

instead of running into errors again and again, you should've always kept a working copy of your map. i always save my stuff under at least 3 filenames in case smth screws up. and it also kinds of "fix" the missing feature wich is delete scenery. or maybe i'm missing something.
