hello all

i recently had to reinstall my pc's operating system. my editor worked fine before that but since i have gotten my pc back up and running added the games and the editor reinstalled. i am having no luck being able to add spawn points or intermissions in the editor. i can drop them in but i can not hi-lite / click on to move any of them.

i have uninstalled / cleaned my registries / reinstalled the editor again but no luck. i have talked to one of my clan mates who is a very exprienced map maker and he is at a loss as to why i can not move my spawn points.

i have tried to edit one of my backed up previous maps just to see if it was something wrong with the map i was working on, but it too i can not grab any of the spawn points or intermissions on them.

i have tried a simple experiment as well, start new map / adding nothing but a dm spawn point and i can not grab it to move either.

i have double checked all of my set up settings to make sure everything is pointed to the correct locations and they are.

i am currently stuck for progress on the map i am working on. i need to be able to get the dm spawn and intermission's in before i can do a 1st compile so i can make notes and see what adjustments i need to make to the terrain before i move forward.

i am running a 32 bit vista operating system, the editor is set to run in xp compatability mode and as the administrator.

any ideas or suggestions on how to fix or correct the issue would be greatly appreciated.

thank you for your time and possible solutions

Sounds like the ability to "interact" with entities is disabled, which I believe happens on a fresh install (could be wrong on that being default)

What you will want to do is look in the toolbar area, and look for the letter E encircled with a diagonal red line running through it. Make sure this is not pressed in, if it is then just click on it to depress the button. (Will be to far right side of the tool bar)

If this is not the case then I am not sure what would be causing this problem.

nope, that tab is not depressed. went thru the set up tutorials to try and fix it and again no luck.

a bit more info: my game is caled " Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition " in my program files, note i have redirected the set up to reflect the game name .

from what i can tell i don't have something pointing at the xmodel files. because i can not add xmodels either.

i can add / modify / move any brush but can not

add / move / modify any xmodels / spawn points / intermissions.

any help is appreciated.
