I tried everything possible before I posted this...
FPSC opens (it looks a bit glitchy) normally. All the buttons work fine, you can go into the entitybank etc.
When you move the cursor onto the grid map, the whole thing
freezes
When you move the cursor off the grid map, the program unfreezes and continues normally.
Here are the things I have tried in the editor:
-Changing the render shroud size
-opening a different level
-starting a new level
-starting a new arena
-importing an entity
None of the above worked, when the cursor moves onto the grid screen, it instantly freezes, and unfreezes when you move it off onto one of the toolbars.
I concluded that I should reinstall the program.
First, I tried "repairing" the FPSC installation. With FPSC now as version 1, I tried it again, and it did the exact same thing as before.
When I went to Add/Remove programs and tried to remove it, I got an error message saying "catastrophic failure" (I'm not kidding)
The same thing happened when I stuck the FPSC disc in and ran the setup utility to remove it.
Next, I manually deleted everything in the FPSCreator folder (and the folder itself).
FPSC no longer appeared on my programs list so I was happy. I stuck the disc in and installed FPSC. Then, without changing anything, I ran the program, and it did the exact same thing.
The only thing I can think of is that some file that FPSC needs in the WINDOWS directory has been corrupted and that it can't be overwritten or uninstalled, and it's causing this major glitch.
The problem is, is that I don't know what the files FPSC uses are called, or if they can be safely deleted.
I've tried everything, without turning to you guys for help, but now I have to because I really don't know what else to do.
I'm not a noob, I know exactly how to use FPSC, and anybody who has some straightforward input would be my hero.
