Ok, please try doing this:
1. Save your MAP file (as made with Krom's editor) as "data\mission\smaps\test.map"
2. Open the mission file (.dat) with my mission editor, then set the map file to be "data\mission\smaps\test.map"
3. Save the mission as smission1.dat

Map files are always saved under data\mission\s/d/mmaps and are always called <NAME>.map
Mission files are always saved under data\mission and can be called s/d/m/mission#.dat

Map files are never saved as .DAT files.


Things that could be going wrong:
- You CANNOT have spaces in map names. i.e. the map can't be called "Mountain Village.map", but just "MountainVillage.map" is fine.
- If the game starts and then you either win or lose, then it is a problem with the goals. Make sure that you have set a lost goal and a goal, and that the team you must defeat has troops or buildings.

Let me know if that helps,
Lewin.
