If you can open it the long way I guess that's a workaround for now. There is a known bug with saving on windows. Instead of saving the map image, it tries to save the screen image. So to counter this i paste the map image over the top left of the screen so it saves that. The downside is it will crash if the window is smaller than the map. Try making the window bigger and let me know if it still crashes. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/F5dlVMp.jpg) It isn't calculating average openness. It shows the colors and everything in the image, but there's no calculation. Has anyone else encountered this problem? This is pretty important for me to make sure that the map is balanced. EDIT: Oh, and there's another problem. There are rocks placed that would affect the unit paths that the analyzer doesn't seem to recognize. I checked in the editor to make sure that they had "ignore placement requirements" unchecked. That isn't that big of a deal though, since I can make it unpathable for it to calculate and display the correct distances and times. | ||

This is really cool and makes it a lot easier to check the distances between bases and the balance of the map! | ||

No clue why - it's one of the reasons I'm still using the previous version. | ||

Out of curiosity, what is the use of average openness? I always considered as a useless feature since what you look for in a map are well-placed open areas and chokes, not an average value to attain. | ||

I was interested in using it as another means of comparison between different maps, especially ones that are less standard, so that I can get an idea of how comparable my map is to others. It's not really that big of a deal though I guess. Having the analyzer show open areas and chokes is definitely more important than average openness. | ||

Oh I didn't realise anyone was actually using average openness. It didn't seem that useful to me, but I can probably add it back in with a toggle for those of you who want to hide it. With the destructible rocks, each rock type must be added to the file footprints.txt. I haven't filled it out for every rock that is available, in fact it's only had some minor updates since HotS came out. There is an updated file that AndG posted here: http://pastebin.com/ixUneuxc. I haven't had a close look, but it might have more up-to-date info. | ||

That was happening to me as well, but I thought it was a problem on my end (was saving to different computer on the network, which I sometimes have difficulty connecting too) | ||
