Well I was finally looking into starting back up on my game since things have finally settled down in my life but I've run into the problem of not being able to edit my maps.
I am running a new machine now as my last one finally bit the dust enough to be cheaper to buy a new computer. It's running win7. It's 64bit which may be the problem?
maped 3.0.1 simply crashes on load, I get no error messages.
maped prime 2008.12.02 will start but when loading a map (folder makes no difference) it crashes. Error message is below. It also crashes if I attempt to make a new map and import a vsp or if I try to save a new map.
System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

I've run maped3 on Windows 7 64-bit without any problems. I don't get any of those errors on my end, but maybe I can help with fixing it.
I have zero experience with maped prime, so I can't really help you with that directly if there happen to bugs in it. Anyways, from the looks of the "loaded assemblies" list, there might be some .dll files missing. Since it complained about ZLibWrapper failing, make sure zlib.net.dll is there, as well as any other required dlls for maped3.
Maped3 will also crash right away if missing dlls. Make sure these are either in your /Windows/System32 folder, or (recommended) inside maped's working folder. The last release of Verge came with the following maped3 related dll files: MRU.dll*, RegisterFileType.dll**, Render.dll*, corona.dll***, pr2-common-cpp.dll, zlib.net.dll***.
Those unmarked above seem to do nothing in the last official maped3.
* if missing, crashes before the program opens.
** if missing, crashes later on, with exceptions about a missing dll, which can be continued from. Relatively minor, it's only for the menu command that registers .map extensions with maped. It's also worth noting the register extensions option can only be performed in administrator mode on Windows Vista and 7.
*** if missing, crashes later on, with exceptions about a missing dll, which can be continued from. Without zlib or corona, don't expect to do much though.
(tested this with my local maped3 copy by temporarily renaming dlls to make them missing from the program)

Okay, fun.
Windows 7 comes with .NET 3.5, and I don't think that's an issue here.
I will add that I have installed Visual Studio 2008 on my machine, but I haven't installed any .NET specific things on here (besides Compact which MSVC assumes you want -- but that's for targetting Windows CE platforms and stuff), and a bunch of Windows SDKs (which are for COMPILING code). This also provided me with Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables for 2005 and 2008. While I don't think these are required (since maped is written in C#, not C++), it might improve things.
I don't know. I don't exactly have a lot to go by right now. And at the moment, I can't reproduce your problem, so you need to give me more information.
Could you copy and paste the "View problem details" info of the crash message when maped3 stops working?
Also, any other readers: Has anyone else successfully used Maped3 on Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit edition?

"MapEd3.exe has stopped working
Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...
it then closes and gives no further information. Frustrating.
edit: I redownloaded a copy of the official distribution and it's the same problem

Oh man. That's really messed up. Well, I can definitely understand why you'd be frustrated :(
I don't know what to do though. Ugh. Anyone else out there reading?

so I tired safe mode, and it's the same thing.
I then tried the compatibility wizard and it simply says the program is incompatible (I tried down to winXP sp2)
I cannot install the the c++ redistributables. It gives fits about only being 32bit.

I'll see if I can rustle up someone to make a 64 bit build.

For the record, I have the same issue on my 64-bit Vista system. MapEd crashes immediately, no error message, just "maped3.exe has stopped working". So yeah, a 64-bit version would be much appreciated.
(For what it's worth, though, I tried downloading MapEd Prime to see if it would run on my computer, and it does... except that when I try loading a map from the Sully Chronicles (to see how it's put together and get a feel for how maps work in VERGE), it gives me an error about trying to "load a program with an incorrect format"...)

will it save maps? It runs fine and edits until you attempt to save on my machine.

I came into the forums to look for help because i am having the same problem as you.
Maped 3.0.1 crashes with no error messages. It just says maped3.exe has stopped working and closes.
Maped prime will start but it will not load or save anything.
I also have a 64bit version of Win7

It runs and edits, and appears to save the map itself, but when it tries to save the .vsp file it hits an Unhandled Exception error. So... I guess I can call that a no.
So yeah, as SUPNID just said, mapedPrime starts but won't save or load. And MapEd3 won't start at all. Again, I'm running (64-bit) Vista, not Windows 7, but I'm having apparently the same issues as others seem to be getting with Windows 7.

You guys should try downloading this I saw Overkill posted it on a different forum discussion.
http://ovk.verge-rpg.com/stuff/verge/maped3/maped3_rev_240.zip
It seems to work for me so far... although I haven't tested it or done much with it yet. But so far it seems promising!!

Ah. Yep, seems to work for me too. Like you, I haven't done much with it yet, but at least it starts, loads, and saves files; seems to be working. Excellent. Thanks!

Please try and load a map you create with that maped3, and tell me if it works when you do a Map("mymapnamehere.map"); in Verge. This is in case for some reason, the maped doesn't work 100%, then you don't waste time making a complete area that can't be loaded.

When I click on the verge button to execute my program, which is just a map that I created with the maped3_rev_240 version of maped i get an error message that says
"Z_BUF_ERROR"
What does that mean/what did I do wrong?

That means this confirms what I thought about there being a problem with that version of maped you downloaded. If I could actually remember the outcome I would've warned you about that being bad ahead of time, sorry :(. Anyways, read this thread (where you found that build to begin with) carefully, and you'll see Glambourine got the exact same issue.
However, later on in the thread, he says that the March 2007 maped works fine (and you can download it here). Tell me if that works for you.
And if it does, we should sticky that or something!
