ATS Map Editor - Can not test?

[MarioBro14]

Im trying to show my work to see if ProMods will let me in the team for . I told him recently that I am a currently in college working to get my masters in transportation engineering, But he said hes interested to see just what I can do. However this silly ats editor won't even let me run my own map let alone stress test it with heavy traffic :/ With simple road connections it works fine, but with more complex layout's it just won't load. And the game is so new no one else has this problem that I know of D: Used to crash, but now every time I hit "run map" 1.) Goes Black 2.) Minimizes window 3.) When I open the minimized window, it has a new map Instead (Just the car).

Don't do it like that. Save it, go to ATS installation folder. Open 'base' folder and right-click 'map' folder. Choose "add to archive" or something like that. Name it whatever you like, maybe "mymap.scs", (don't forget to choose ZIP and no compression) and copy this archive to mod folder. Run the game, select this mod in your profile and it'll work

Maps need to be repacked every time you save them and leave the editor. "Run Map" will only show the version you have packed last time in your mods folder.

I'd like to refer to these videos:

They explain how this works for ETS2. ATS works practically the same.

Hm Okay thank you. And would incorrectly connected roads ever prevent it from functioning properly? (Thank you for all your help btw)

If roads are not connected the map will load but AI will disappear at the seams and GPS navigation will fail

Well that's not the problem then. Hmm
