I created an empty game, and followed the instructions in the tutorial replacing the tutorial images etc with my alternative ones, including new maps.

When I try to build and launch the game, I see the loading screen and then after a few seconds the game quits. The choose a name dialog box, startup screen and main location (map) are not displayed.

Any ideas anyone?

Are the images you made the same names as the ones you have replaced? Are they the same format (aka. .pct instead of .png which causes a name change)? If so, then you will have to reload those pictures into the interface.

I have had this problem a few times and (for me) the problem has been either the picture file type was not supported or was too big for the screen.

Make sure all images are 16 bit color and in .pct format or it will cause your game to crash.

Yep, it was something to do with the 'Enter your name' dialog pic. When I set it to one that shipped on the CD all worked fine.

Thanks.
