Common Problems:
Before beginning to discuss common problems found, the file structure of the folder where the map editor is located should be similar to the following (-> means inside root folder. + means a folder. - means a file):
+PTmapEditor Folder
-> +maps
-> -> -Firefight.ptm
-> -> -Grimsby.ptm
-> -> -Metalworks.ptm
-> -> -Propaganda.ptm
-> -> -The Hexagon.ptm
-> -> -The Pyramid.ptm
-> -> -Trenches.ptm
-> -changelog.txt
-> -field.ptx
-> -PTME2.jar
(This is slightly confusing, so in order to help those that don't understand, look at this screenie (link) (http://i41.tinypic.com/5ewuh0.jpg))
Common Errors:
-- When trying to start a new map, you get this error:
"field.ptx(The system cannot find the file specified)"
This error is caused when the field.ptx (look at file structure/screenie above) is not in the same folder as PTME2.jar To fix this issue, either redownload field.ptx or move field.ptx into the same folder as PTME2.jar
-- You have no tileset
Similar to the above, you need to re-import field.ptx into the map editor. There are a few reasons for this error:
1.) You may have deleted field.ptx from the tileset manager and/or field.ptx was somehow deleted as a tileset. To fix this, go to Tilesets > Import Tileset > field.ptx (find the file wherever you may have saved it).
2.) You don't have field.ptx, in which follow the steps in the previous error to get field.ptx back.
--The PTME2.jar doesn't open the map editor
In order to open the map editor you must have java installed.
--When I double-click PTME2.jar it opens a folder.
You need to download the latest java. Get the latest one here:

*If you need help using the map editor, refer to Knux57's guide located here: Guide (http://www.pawngame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110428)
**If anyone has any other errors/fixes please tell me :D
