Question Having Problems with Art Manager

Hi guys, new here. I was following a tutorial on this site: http://titanquestvault.ign.com/View....s.Detail&id=19 and I stumbled on step 10.3 3.) It says I have to double click my .map file in the assets sub directory and add the .lvl files that correspond to it. My problem is that when I double-click my .map file the only thing that appears is: [World: Maps/Arena 1.wrl] (with arena 1 being my .wrl file). The screenshot at the site above shows another box below the "World" one, named Levels: with Add and Remove buttos etc, etc. So why this box doesn't appear to me? When I build the .map and enter the game all I see is a black screen. I created everything in the editor, the problem is that I can't load it into the .map file. Any help will be much appreciated.

I checked your link out, and I do not ever think I did such a thing.

Just Auto-create assets on the wrl file, that is important and skip 10.3.3, if you have problems re-post, but I have never done that step, the levels get in the right place when you create them.

Strange, I just created a quick mod and it worked. I had created 2 mods before that with no luck. I was just entering like normal but all I was seeing was a black screen? What could I have done differently this time? Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter as long as it's working now. Thanks jiaco, for your attempt to help me

The black screen is related to the need to have a 256x256 terrain in your map. I bet your first two tries used smaller one?

Actually, the first two were 256x256 and 64x64. This time around I used 128x128 so I don't believe this is the issue but who knows...

Well all I can say is keep a detailed notebook. God know how many things I have had to figure out 5 times as I did not write it down. It is software, so if you use it right it does work. But using it right is very hard an oftentimes feels like magic.

One thing I remember doing the 3rd time was right-clicking the .map file and then left-clicking Build (for no apparent reason). After that I pressed F7 to build it. (Don't know if the 2 "Builds" have something in common). Once again, thanks jiaco.
