Hi guys, so I have a simple question.

-- Can you import a saved game map (NOT just a blank subscribed map an actual saved game) to the Editor so it can be tweaked and then re-uploaded to steam.

Obviously you cannot load a game with building assets etc into the editor, I want to just get the map out so I can tweak and reup it to Steam as a clean version for people to play.

This is the saved game in question: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=719211919

I will explain how this came about. In setting up recently my new PC I had a custom map I had played through on an LP. It had been my intention to upload this map to steam along with my other maps already posted, when I finished that LP. However due to my own stupidity I did not copy across the saved Map file when I setup the new PC and so now all I have is the saved game from the end of that LP.

What I hope is that somehow I can get the map from the live game save into the editor and then reup it. Maybe something can be done with height maps, or some file moving I dont know?

I spent a lot of time on the map so hopefully its not lost forever, if it is... well oh well.
 
I guess there's a way to dump the map itself ingame (maybe a height map) with no roads, props and assets with the Modtool mod. Maybe as a height map?

Then you just first load the savegame and do your terraforming to your likes, save the game and dump the map.
