Flying Chow Tutorial

In the new level editor tutorial (level editor getting started.pdf), I'm at the point where I save particle2ImageMap, particle3ImageMap and particle5ImageMap, quit the level editor, then restart it and the particle is supposed to magically appear in my Particle Effects section. Well there is nothing there. Each one shows up in the Static Sprite section, but not in the particles. Also, I noticed that the tut says the editor should load that last project worked on by default, but mine doesn't do that. It always starts with the T2D project folder.

p.s. I did a search for this using GG's google function with no results. I'm rather surprised that someone hasn't asked about this before.

Strange: I went back to each imagemap and noticed that the names for particle2 and particle5 dont save as particle2ImageMap and particle5ImageMap, even tho I rename them and click save. Their names revert back to the original, however particle3 does let me change the name to particle3ImageMap.

Is that why my Particle Effect fails to appear?

I have tried out the tutorial and everything is working just fine. Why don't you reinstall Torque 2D again, and try out the tutorial again.
