So I made a map. I exported it. I checked the exports folder, and the map's there. But when I go to Cape in-game, the portal's not there!

Here's what all I've tried:
1. RE-saved and re-exported my map
2.Renamed the terrain file(since it's watermiil. Yeah I'm lazy :p)
3.Checked the 'Has Portal' box

Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Have you made another map in the game? If that didn't happen then, you might want to test if the game knows it's there. Make a blank map and add a portal to your invisible map in it, then save it under whichever name you wish. Does it show in the Cape? If such, enter it and test out the portal. Does it work there? If such, you might want to try reinstalling... This happened to me about 4 months ago, and reinstalling worked. c:

You you don't need to worry about losing anything! just please your Cfg's into screenshots or any other folder before using the patch (You MUST use the patch please.) but only the cfg's that have custom and/or downloaded things in it but DO NOT forget the markings and/or items.cfg if you have items and massmarkings.  ;)

I'm not quite sure what you're addressing to. Please clarify?

Okay, so now it exports, and the portal shows up in cape. But when I go into the map, the objects are all distorted and the rest are missing?

Did you export all your objects from the Object Maker?

Ah, so I have to export all the object I have used in the map from object maker? Like for example I've used 'Structure3' and palm trees and 'rock'. I have to export these individually?

Didn't work :'C Map still has strange distorted objects. Plus now when I try re-exporting the map, it says 'Failed to export'

Then this could be cause by one of the custom objects... And, whoa. Try re-exporting all the object groups or objects you modified individually, if you haven't already. Also try reinstalling as Rhia mentioned. But, them screenies just look like missing objects.
