Descriptive Problem Summary:
When making the map, after making the "turf" and character mob, you can place the turfs about on the map. Now I go and place my floors and walls about. I compile and run, the map is nothing but a black screen is seen where the map should be seen that you can move about on the map using the character.
So I go back reading the guide (http://www.byond.com/docs/guide/) and made sure I did the steps on chapter 1 correctly. So I thought maybe it was some visual issue that didn't start right so I compile and run few more times. Still has a black screen where the map is. So I try ading my "character" mob and planted him on a floor tile and then compile and run, and still a black screen of nothingness.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Placing turfs about map

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
I use to have an old Byond game creator 2 years back and it worked fine.
Placing a character on a map doesn't do anything, that's not even possible, all it does is place a random mob there. You have to locate them in Login() or such.
