Holy Jesus, it actually worked.  Thanks guys for all the help.  I couldn't have done it without you all.  This one is for the books, in my case.

When I try to change the line for game path and save it, it comes up with "access is denied".

EDIT: Interesting.  When I go to open the same file with the notepad, it doesn't show up in the folder and doesn't appear when I search for it either.  As if it is purposely avoiding me.

That's the only thing I didn't do.  Let me check.


EDIT: Nah, didn't work.  I can get through all the popup warnings, but when the map begins to load, it says the program stopped working.

Hey,
I don't know if this has been posted before, so forgive me in advance if it has.

I wanted to try my hand at map making for the first time and wanted to use something more simple like BC1942.  However, when I open the program, it then says that the default directory is incorrect, and that I would need to browse to find the correct one.  Well, I checked all the files and folders and everything is right where it should be.  It also says that certain assets could not be accessed.  I'm running Windows 8.1.  I tried using Compatibility Mode, but that too fell flat on its face.

Any suggestions as to how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
