Map Editor

[minishupe]

As I recently learned of the map editor for ATS, I decided to attempt to edit the map. I opened config.cfg in TextEdit (due to me using a Mac), and changed uset g_developer to "1" and uset g_console to "1" aswell. When I launch ATS, I am able to access the terminal using the tilda key, but once I enter the command "edit", nothing happens.

Please note, like I stated before I am using a Mac, OSX 10.10, which I feel might be the problem. I would appreciate if anyone could point out something I missed, or if the editor is unavailable for Macs.

It's been a while but I think you have to type edit US and then hit enter...

I tried that but it instead listed lots of [gl] items.

Did you use quotes?
If not, then type "edit usa" in the console, with the quotes, and then hit enter...

I tried that as well, it lists [cmd] '"edit usa"' - unknown command.

You might want to try this tutorial then, it's a little old, but everything is pretty much still the same...

I'll be back on my Windows computer this weekend, so I'll also try it then. Thanks for your help.

Typing 'edit' should load editor without any content. Typing 'edit usa' will load game map with any map mods currently present in mod folder (regardless active or not). If you have custom stand-alone map i.e 'mymap', you would need to type 'edit mymap' (map should be located in mod folder to be accessible in editor, although editor saves map into local game files, you would need to create folder ../base/map/ for it)
