Official Mapper + Dims mapper

[Chris Parks]

I've just downloaded the Dims mapper to look at some maps that won't open in official mapper and they look pretty good.

My question is this. why won't some maps open in the offical mapper when they do open in the Dims mapper? If anybody knows why, is there a way of altering the maps so I can use both mappers?

When I open one map in Dims, it's fine, but in the official mapper, I keep getting a Breakpoint error or something. What is this error?

Thanks in advance. I suppose if it can't be done, I'll have to learn how to use the Dim's mapper. I just prefer the official one.

Maybe you need city limit patch for fallout2.exe and for mapper2.exe (official mapper)?

Or some "*.msg" files have not correct this signs { or } in some lines? Official mapper reads all msg files, but Dims mapper maybe does not?

Do take caution with Dim's mapper. It has been reported (and I even experienced this once myself) that maps can become corrupted as a result of usinng this mapper. An easy fix to this is once you are done making/editing a map in Dim's mapper is to open the map up in the official editor and save it with that.

Thanks killap,

I think that's what's happened here. I was working on a Hubologist money vault map and trying to transfer it to the official mapper. So far, I've come up with nothing. It crashes no matter what I do.

Shame. It would have been a great map to use.
