FLAG ISSUES -> won't even make the flags!

[MageMod offline]

OK,
First, i'll admit, i just started mapping about 2 weeks ago (off and on)... Up until now i've been experimenting with the editor.
However, I've made a map called: A Gathering of Magic, and the editor will not even make the flags (from SHAPES -> OBJECTIVES)

Please, if you can help, DL the map, and add the flags at the stands, then send me the map back at: MageModvX@hotmail.com or just e-mail me and we can hook up via Chat Prog and upload there.

This is what I've tried already:
1) Adding the flags in the *.mis file... They don't show up when i load the map.
2) Exporting all the objects. Then opening the MISSION BLANK file, adding the flags, and then importing the other stuff, like objects, sun, sky, terr texture, etc... When i save the map, and go back to it, the flags don't exist.
3) Tried creating flags after running bots graph, los, and spawn spheres.. Nothing!
4) Tried creating flags after importing everything to fresh file, NOT running graphs or LOS or AI... Nothing!
5) Sent the map to friends.. They can't get it to load the flags either... So, i assume it is map issue, not editor. What do i need to do?

I don't usually ask for help unless I absolutly need it. I spent quite a few hours making this map, and the flags won't even show up. I mean, i alt click the 'objectives' sim group i made under Teams1(and 2) and the stand is created, but it does nothing with the 'FLAG'! PLEASE HELP!

DL it, fix it, send suggestions, I have no idea... I believe the map has potential, but not until i can get the flags in!

HERE IS A LINK THAT SHOULD WORK. If it does not, then i guess i'm outs luck!



By the way, you 've gotta copy and then paste the link into a new window... Something about geocities not letting it link from this forum?

at the start of ur .mis it says Mission types = CTF, right?

My MIS file says the following, at the begining!

// DisplayName = A Gathering of Magic
// MissionTypes = CTF

//--- MISSION QUOTE BEGIN ---
//Long ago, in their carelessness, the supreme sorcerers waged war among themselves.
//Now there remain only two towers, and only two orders of magi left to defend them.
//The unleashed power changed the very earth itself,
//and the earth itself cries for release!
// -- Arch-Magus, |CHAOS MAGE|
//--- MISSION QUOTE END ---

//--- MISSION STRING BEGIN ---
//[CTF]500 Points to win.
//Two defended towers.
//Vehicle pads for each base.
//Force field generators outside.
//--- MISSION STRING END ---

As to respond to the other messages... I did run it throught the syntax checker(great prog) and the file is fine!

EarthWorm, i am going to try that when i get home from work tonight... If that works, i'm putting your name on the load screen!

Freakin 'ell, if it was that simple!

That Turret(FLAG) is the motion turret gurading the flag! What a pain, there was no tut telling me NOT to do that... so thanx.. I'll see if it works later!

Also, what did you all think when you DLed it? does th map look good (eyecandy?) and balanced, and do you think it has potential? I'll prolly be able to get it running on the MouseMod server (COMBAT PA 3.0) we'll see!
Thanx again!
