Error while reading map data from file

Post by David728 »

I seem to have come across an error while using maptool-1.3b89, where I get this error when trying to import a new map (from the Map drop menu). The error reads "Error while reading map data from file java.util.zip.ZipException: Error in opening zip file". I have Java 7, and this is my first use of Map Tool. The map I am trying to bring in is a jpeg, not in a zipped file (just a normal folder). It doesn't matter what map/picture I try to import or from where on the computer, I get the same error.
