The GEM editor always opens on the map making window.
Open/Load... a map from say, the
single list in the GEM editor.
You know how to do that, - Yes ?
Just do a quick map test, copy a building then paste it somewhere else on the map.
When your map test is finished press Esc key on keyboard then
choose "
Save As..." and give your test map a name and save it.
When the GEM editor has saved it, it will automatically reload it straight away.
You can then exit GEM editor.
Restart it, then put your cursor on the top right corner - MAP: <untitled>
Load... then you should see your saved map in the list right there

That tip there is absolutely perfect, I followed precisely what you put, I copied n pasted a building within the map, and blow me down with a feather it worked first time
So excitely I did it again, only this time putting in infantry, and copying n pasting some more buildings, but putting the infrantry in them, and yep it worked again, no probz, so I did it again lol, but when I copied n pasted the buildings with the infrantry in, I got an error, and the program terminated, so I went back in again, loaded up the map, but just copied n pasted lone buildings, and tree's n stuff ect, and yay, it worked, no probz.
I had not been loading up maps in f2, was always in f3, editing in f2/f3/f6, but always saving in f3, so obviously f3 is for something else, I will do some research about that, and close this thread, as I would imagine you all must be banging your heads against the wall by now with me lol.
I work alot of hours, so I don't really get much free time to play my favourite game, but when I do have the time, especially on my days off, I will do alot of reading, and searching the net for advice ect, but would rather come in here for advice, as this forum has saved me alot before today, and I always prefere practical feedback from a real live person in conversation, as that way advice/tips can be much quicker, and alot of faffing around can be saved.
I am still in the dark as to why a Veteran Tiger can fire upon a really small wall on its own much smaller than the Tiger itself, and only brick dust can be seen coming off the wall, and not the actual wall disintigrating immediately from a tank shell, in real life that would never happen, but of course the game can be set to the same principle, dynamite always works a treat though lol.
But yeh I have done a screenshot of your tip above, and now its constantly onm my second monitor, maybe you could consider making it a sticky as I know that would be very much appreciated by the brand new gamers, it certainly worked immediately for me.
to djsatane n yourself, thank you so much for your patience and your advice
