Something wierd happened to steam resulting in alot of files being lost. These files include the test maps and the first map for the game. The mod itself hadn't made any advances but it's a pity that I will have to make the maps all over again.
But don't worry! Though I am now working from scratch it means that I have a better idea of what I'm doing. Considering this it should take a short time to reach the point I was at before.
