Help with official FoT level editor

[Guest]

For some reason, every time I try to play the custom 1-player mission i have made, the part of the screen where the battlefield usually is, is blank, and the slots for your team are blank.
It is a very simple level. i have tiles for the floor, a switch, a raider, some light entities and a player spawn entity. I have a trigger set so that when the switch is pulled, the raider dies and the mission is complete. I have the raider's team set to 2, but at one time it was set to 1, and it worked when i played it.
I use the "custom mission" option under single player to play the mission.
Does anybody know what is wrong? Does anybody know about an on-line tutorial that walks you through how to create a basic level?

Any positive response is appreciated

You have to set a mission up with your character already in the map. So just take a recruit entity and plop it in the map in the editor. Make sure it is in player index #1. That is why you could play it when you had the raider in index 1.
