2 problems: Exit grids and placing new scenery

N

Neo Nightkin

First time out of the vault
I've got 2 problems.

The first one is that I can't properly make exit grids.
I did follow that FAQ on mutant rising, said that if I want it to take the player to the world map, you just need to place the grids the proper way, not change anything in their setting.
I did this, but when I tried it out, the editor crashed and I got back into windows.
Did I do something wrong? Did I miss something in the FAQ?

The second problem is that I couldn't place a new frm file.
I wanted to place the monitor in the cathedral from fallout 1, so I switched that frm with the one that originally is in the master.dat file, because the original one doesn't show pray, join, follow (or something)m it just shows pray.
Anyway, I placed the correct scenery object in an excisting map (arroyo, behind the tent of the elder) to try it out.
I went to play it but it wasn't there.
What did I do wrong THIS time? :?
 
ah.. i should have mentiond that..
world exit grids turn red, and do indeed send you to the world map.. but the worldmap doesn't work in the editor, so it just crashes..

2. you can't just switch the frm's of objects.. they don't like it..

there is a blank "unused art" space next to the existing monitor that is where the other monitor is supposed to go.. ( in fact there is a .frm file named the same as the original monitor which contains the "unused art" art.. so just replece the file with the original.... )

it should work, if not you will need to edit the prototype of it ( i think it needs it's script changed to animfvr.. to make it cycle through the images.. )

also, the frm's need to be in the fallout2\data\art\scenery folder, and you must remove or rename the patch000.dat ( or put the artwork in the data\art\scenery folder in the patch000.dat file.. )
 
The worldmap works fine.

Don't remember what you need to make it work anymore but it works dandee with me :)

Ah, here it is, right in my mapper_keys.txt:
W: Worldmap (Note: if PROs are read-only, it crashes)
