Maps cannot have "." in the map name or display name. You don't need the .png, as maps are not image files.

In theory, you should just be able to go under the "Map" tab in the map maker, enter in something like... HyperRealm in the first box and Hyper Realm in the second. I'm confused as to when this is giving you this error.

And you're sure that your map file is the right format and such and you're using the right section to type in your map save name? Because I've never head of this issue before, actually.

are you still putting ".png"? It won't work if you have a ".png" in the name.

Sky's Rim? The platforms are the islands, the lands. They turn into stone platforms in some places, though in other pats they're floating islands.

where can i find the platforms? to use in my map? and by platforms, i mean the small round (sometimes square) platforms you have to jump on in order to get to Sky's Rim.

You need to go into the object maker and load rockisland.mesh and rockisland2.mesh. be sure to check the "own collision" box after you load them, and then save them.
