Map gets saved in a location other than the BZN folder

When I try to make a map and then save it, it doesn't get saved in the Armada Directory. Also when I put Camera_1, Camera_2 for player locations, they never get saved. The map editor doesn't seem to be working so well.

Your maps are probably being saved under you user/appdata/roaming/Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operations folder.

As for the starting locations, are you using the ctrl-R menu to set them? It's been a long time since I've made maps, but if I remember correctly, every time you change the camera locations you have to open the player menu and hit okay again, otherwise it doesn't register the changes. Also, the camera names have to be exactly perfect to work. Check out an already finished map for reference and see if it's different from yours.

thank you for the tip. I will try it out. I was just putting each player and not looking at the menu afterwards.
