Hi,
I don't wish to be someone to just point somewhere else and go "just look over there", but that's basicly what I'll have to do right here, I'm afraid. I described my problem in pretty much detail over at the official forum, but noone there seems to know the answer, so I guessed I could come to a forum that's specialised in this kind of thing.
Here's the link to the thread:

Thanks in advance,
Shrooblord
EDIT:
I guess I could also just post the text I posted there over here.
Here it is:
I created this .lnd file with EdenProject Land Creator. The file is saved in
"C:\Program Files\Lionhead Studios Ltd\Black & White\Data\Landscape". I also put a test version of my map file in the Playgrounds folder. Now, when I test my map, it shows up in the folder, I am able to load it, but the Landscape itself isn't there! The Temple I placed is floating above the sea, in the position it should be in, but still floating! Also, when I move into my influence, the game chrashes. It doesn't display any error messages, it just quits.
I did some research and found out that in the Landscape folder there are also the three files of the official Skirmish maps: forugods.fot, threegods.fot and twogods.fot. These are all FOT files. I also noticed they are signifficantly smaller in size in comparisson to LND files.
So, I guess my question is: how do I change my .lnd file into a .fot and will that solve my problem? Will that stop the game from randomly not displaying the landscape? If not, what else should I do?

All land files I've found are accompanied by FOT files; how do you create these? How did any of you create your custom map? How were the custom maps created in the first place? Could anyone give me some pointers, please?

Thanks again,
