Every time you need to get your map files in a new directory, COPY THEM. Moving them only causes problems and will corrupt the map files.

If the map is corrupted, you have to start over again, unless you have a backup, or if you have a stamp of it. Either way, you need to start a new map file.

I think you should be able to move the map files wherever you want. You just need to go open them again from the "File" -> "Open" menu in worldbuilder.
If that doesn't work, try putting them back where they were before and loading them.
Just give it a shot. Warbirds may be right about corruption, but then again I have never been able to reproduce his strange WB bugs.

Lolto can confimr that bug happens, watch his video map tutorial.
And I think the map files have to be in coh/ww2/data/scenarios to work. Not sure.

K, I'll take your word for it, Warbirds. However, I do know that you can create subfolders within the data\WWII\scenarios folder and it will still work. E.g I had a scenarios\mp\WIP folder and my files worked.

so i save them in my coh/ww2/data/scenarios/ folder. Or do i have to make it coh/ww2/data/scenarios/mp. because i think my problem was i saved them in coh/ww2/data/scenarios/mp but thats where my custom maps were that were finished and it was trying to also load my unfinished maps aswell. So my guess is that i can do this coh/ww2/data/scenarios/"Subfolder here". i just want to make sure because losing another map will end my mapping days for a long time, lol.

Well it shouldn't matter where in the data/scenarios folder you put it. As long as everything has unique filenames I'm not sure I understand how it could be trying to load other maps.

I'm getting problems again, sorry for the lack of understanding but i wanna try to get it right.
I am able to use CoH launcher until i export the map, once i export the map so i am able to test it i cant open CoH launcher. I save my maps under :c\program files/THQ/ coh/ww2/data/scenarios/mp. Do my CoH launhcer maps go in the same place? Do any map files go under my documents/games/CoH/ ETC?
If it is unclear what i wrote up there all im asking is where should i save my maps and where should i put my COH launcher maps.

Maps that are for vCoH/OF go into C:\Program Files\THQ\CoH\WW2\Data\Scenarios\MP. You need to enable -dev mode to play them, by editing your shortcut and adding the " -dev" argument in the target path. EiR maps need to go to the C:\Program Files\THQ\CoH\EiR\Archives file path. To play them you need to add: archive.42 = EuropeInRuins\Archives\players_mapname That's only for now. If another map gets added, you will need to change it to. archive.43 = EuropeInRuins\Archives\players_mapname I hope I've helped. Edit: Don't package your maps with the World Builder exporter. Use Corsix Mod Studio to do that. Watch Lolto's map tutorials if you need help with that part, though.

Make sure you're using the Invasion of Normandy .module. The EiR .module will not work for WB.

Please upload your map files in a .zip to filefront. Then we can download and see if we can read them. If no, the files are somehow corrupted; if yes, then something is wrong with your CoH installation.
