Help! New version messed something up in editor

When I installed the latest Rocks'n'Diamonds version, the editor (ONLY) has messed up graphics for the BD style walls. Any ideas?

Do they have separate sprites for the editor (bd_wall.EDITOR) defined or do they just have the element itself (bd_wall)?
If some sprites are missing, I recommend you to check 'rocksndiamonds.log' (it's located in Username\Documents\Rocks'n'Diamonds\, but you can just search it in the Start search bar).

It lists whatever errors are happening while playing levelsets.

EDIT: Actually, I just realized you use a different OS, so the directory is definitely wrong for you, and I don't know which. But I hope search bar still exists

I understand the BD2K3 music is missing.

I have no idea what the following means:
[WARN] cannot load micro chunk 'CONF_VALUE_BYTES(1)' value for element 961 ['mm_gray_ball']
B/c I do not know what a "micro chunk" is or a CONF_VALYE_BYTE is.
I can guess this means element 961, aka mm_gray_Ball, is not having its graphics loaded? I have no idea which level set this belongs to or how to find it easily.

And then I have no idea why it cannot read the level info from the set called Trash this...although I also do not care.

I do not see how a reference to the Normal_Wall not being loaded as it should.

All I did was transfer the TRON_2018 level to the proper location after installation.

Same here (also see my other post from a few minutes ago): Please use the latest, official version of R'n'D -- else anything might happen, and I won't be able to help! :?

There is no such version of the game as "Rocks'n'Diamonds 6.09.40 PM" that I know of! :o

Now this is getting weird!

I must have, somehow, after installing renamed it?!?!!

I just loaded it and found it is 4.3.0.2

All I thought I did was download and install. Although my grandsons were playing with it and have the knowledge how to do things like that?
