    Hey!

    I started making a map for this game and when I run the map in game I only see the bedrock, flags and spawn buildings. Everything else is gone. I've checked the colors a few times and everything seems to be in order. My theory is that some items are placed incorrectly. I noticed that the spawn building needs to be placed one block on top of the ground. Are there any other blocks with similar rules?

    My map has these blocktypes:

    Sky
    Dirt
    Dirt background
    Water
    Water on dirt
    Stone
    Thick stone
    Bedrock
    Gold
    Tree
    Bush
    Grass
    Stone block
    Stone background
    Ladder
    Spikes on dirt
    Blue main spawn
    Red main spawn
    Blue spawn
    Red spawn
    Trampoline
    Boulder
    Bombs

    I've also put the map as an attachment if someone want's to take a look

    I'll bet you've saved it at the wrong bit depth. Open the properties window and check what your bit depth is. The png must have 0 transparency (24 bit). Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the quick response. The PNG had transparency so I just flattened it in photoshop and that fixed the problem.

    Oh wow this is pretty neat. I can edit my map the same time I have it running on the server and have my changes update by simply reloading the map on the server.

    If you're also considering modding, that works even faster. Check out this video from some time ago. (I'm not sure if it still works in the current engine.)
