    So, I tried to load up my map in "Orange Box mode".

    It doesn't load up. Hammer runs but does not display properly in any of the windows. After doing a little troubleshooting, I found that it was limited to specific mods. Currently only HL and TF2 work in TOB mode.

    So, will there be an updated FGD released before Empires V3.

    Is it even needed?

    The fgd does not set its possibilities, you need to alter the gameinfo.txt file to allow it to load the correct files.
    Set SteamAppId to 218 to load it correctly, but beware: you will not be able to play the mod anymore online, possibly not even on your own server, and the map wil not work for 2.1 if compiled with the OB compile tools.

    That would be bad - Important safety tip. Thanks Egon.

    I think I'll just wait then, I can do all of the world geometry. I'll just worry about when I need to.

    Thanks,

    Maps compiled for the current version of Empires work just fine for the OB version, unless you are using something that's new in the orange box. (and you can just add that in later anyway.)
