I'd suggest using Ctrl-R to test out the maps instead of trying to overwrite those in the savegames.

Ctrl-R in the main menu, select map, enter anything in the prompt, save your game, Ctrl-R again (to exit), load the game you've just saved.

No but did it work? I'm just scared that replacing a savegame entry doesn't work properly.

It's possible that there's a script attached to the proto of the creature you're using which kills it when not on a certain map too, you'd need to decompile it's int script ot make sure, though I don't ever recall seeing such a thing...

The default HP value for critters you place is 0. Right click on the critters, select properties, and make sure they have some hitpoints.

ok so now i can give the creatures some hit points great..but how do i equip them with weapons and make them hostile or neutral or even get them to join me as npc?...cuz they just stand there and do nothin ? um maybe i can just copy the same propeties as 1 of the other hostile mutants or guards from another map and type in the same stats in there propeties box does that seem correct?

For hostility I'm quite sure it's toggle by the script. Try selecting other mutants instead a m aybe you took the mutants from Broken hills which aren't hostile when they see you. I suggest you look in the pro_crit.msg file to find the proper index for the attacking mutants...

As for items in the inventory, it's not implimented in the map editor yet.
