[HELP] MapEditor

I've got the PLSM2 demo and dll to compile and run perfectly

Mapeditor.exe also compiles fine,
but when i run it, I get an exception being thrown

The Ogre.log file says this:

I know it must be some resource problem - something I haven't set up right?

Please Help

Dunno, does this help?

Sorry, not really sure. Seems like something is not set up properly.

where did you got those material files ?

in CVS or in the SDK compatible Zip, those material warnings are fixed.

I got them straight out of the SDK compatible zip file paginglandscape.zip

in the paginglandscape\samples\media

Any ideas?

get a newer version here :
