I tried following the guide at:
http://social.biowar...p/Area_tutorial

I have all the objects placed, but when I go to export:

1) hut_interior will not export (I am selecting export w/dependencies, with hut_exterior on screen)
2) I get the "Could not get starting area resource information." error

I have tried deleting the wp's & remaking them, i've deleted doors and remade them... I am not sure what else i can try to do ?


Exterior door has variables pointing to:
..._Area_Tag = hut_interior (name of .are file, also "Resource Name" in Object inspector)
..._Dest_Tag = hut_inside ("Tag" of WP placed in hut_interior in a valid location a few 'inches' off the ground)

I have heard mention of the 2nd bug i mentioned, but the video wasn't very good at explaining fixing it >.>

I tried the error in google, but
1) Google can't search the forums apparently (all get redirected)
2) Seems to be too new for spiders to have much on this error message for toolset


Thanks

Try this, as I just ran into this last night.

Go to "Tools" -> "Export" -> "Export Options". This is where you can override the starting point defined in the module properties. Make sure whatever is there is actually a part of your module, or just uncheck it. In my case, when I created a new module, it defaulted to some weird area that was not part of my module, and so it kept trying to export it, which ended up in failure.

Once I changed it to an area that *was* a part of my module, everything worked fine.
