try compiling in one of the .dm files and see the error, sometimes if you just changed a icon path

ex
mob/ex/mob1
<tab>blahblahblah


then make it after you put that icon on the map you change the coding of that to

mob/ex/mob2
<tab> blah


but you didnt add it, instead you just altered the original code. ...Maybe you understand this cuz after reading it im still confused but this should help

That's caused by compile errors. Compile your game and fix any errors before trying to edit the map.

Heh, Nightwing. Well, what he was trying to say is that...Lets say theres a mob.
mob/Dude
    icon = 'Dude.dmi'
Then we put him on the map! But then, we go back into the coding and alter that thing right there. We change it to:
mob/Dude2
    icon = 'Dude.dmi'
Now we've changed it to a Dude2! There is no such thing as Dude, so the map gets an error. Double click that error, double click the thing that says 'Dude' and then erase it with backspace. Choose ok, and it should work.

That's a different problem. The error message for that goes something like "the object tree cannot be trusted for map generation". The error he's getting is different. =)
