Nope, however he is talking about Gonstruct.. And I have no way of knowing if he himself compiled the code and verified legitimacy of it. And I wasn't recommending it, I was asking if he tried it.. just out of curiosity.

Does the application run just not open levels? Can you create new levels and save them?

I can't open them, I can't make new ones, and because of that I can't save them.

Have you tried turning your screen off and on?

Looking for a bit of insight (I believe some of these issues are because I selected a wrong option when installing it). Windows 7 32 bit. Gonstruct 0.2.3

Gonstruct was installed in Graal folder, filenamecache.txt exists.
Error: "Told to use Graal file cache, but can't open FILENAMECACHE.txt"

subsequently, I am also getting this error:
"Could not start editor: boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor: Access is denied: "CConfig.Msi""

I have no issues with the default editor, personally, but was wanting to see what gonsctruct was all about and play with tile layers.

Right-Click Gonstruct -> Run as Administrator

Thanks for the quick reply, I had initially tried that, but did not take note of the error.

Now it is: Could not start editor: boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor: Access is denied: "CDocuments and Settings"

Heh....weird.

For me GConstruct is very confusing to install and never works..So I normally just say F this and use the online editor or use my Toshiba, which I don't like because its not as fast and smooth as my Mac....When will a editor be released for mac thats not GCOnstruct?

to answer your question simply, no.

100% of the levels I make now are with gonstruct.

I only ever touch up existing work with an online level editor, but that is rarely.

You could try turning off UAC.

However I just installed using: http://londeroth.org/~fry/gonstruct/...etup-0.2.3.exe

To the default directory under Program Files, specified my Graal folder (CGraal) and it worked fine under Windows 8 which by extension means it should be fine for Windows 7 as well.

after uninstalling, and re-installing, I get no option to re-select my graal folder.

Got this to work, however, not how I'd like to...

I created a New user (administrator), and downloaded the client, level editor, and gonstruct onto that user.

I installed Gonstruct like normal, and upon initial load a Menu popped up. I chose the graal directory, and now I am able to use Gonstruct, under that specific user only though....

If I can figure out a way to completely remove all gonstruct related files, and install it to where it gave me that menu again, I could use it on my main user account for this PC...

Any suggestions?

Do you have spaces or symbols in your user name?

Yes, actually, I use a -
