I bought Shadow Man's medieval buildings prefabs.
When I add one to the map it gets added to the entities list. When I save the map, it stays in the map but disappears from the entities list.
Is this usual for ebe prefabs?

Does it show anything in the entities list ?
Not even a block with no thumbnail ?

Nuffin' :-
I'd post a picture but I don't have a website to store it to, so it's the attachment.

Actually it's worse than I thought.
I tried putting a character in the map and a path for it to follow. Once placed I cannot then select it, or my start marker. Even restarting GG and re-opening the map doesn't cure it. I'll see what happens with a home-made ebe.

In fact, forget it. The application is simply too unstable to use. On Win10 I get C++ runtime errors as likely as not trying to save or run a level. On Win7 it stops running properly if I hibernate the machine.

I'll save the disk space for now and come back in a few more years to see whether it has settled down.

Ahh think I know whats happening
He has supplied the .ebe file so you can edit it.
Rename that ( add .zip to the end ) and it will be an ordinary model rather than an editable entity. You can always rename and edit it again later that way.

There is a bug in the .ebe at the moment I reported on Github that the TAB function does not work properly in entity mode but set as a standard model its fine.
