map editing in-game

The flex demo is working, but the rooms are empty - not sure if that is intentional or is my demo not working 100%?

I tried editing the room maps with the in-game editor and I can load the inventory but was unable to place any items - is that a limitation of the demo? According to OS2 main features, one should be able to select an item from inventory, then select a tile in order to place the item.

Maps are empty intentionally.
After entering EDIT MODE, load the inventory, select one of the items making it appear in a box below the list: now drag the item from the box to the map.

after importing the flex project differently, I was able to place items like you describe - thanks.

My first attempt was like this:
extract flex_project zip file
start fb3
file-new project
choose flex_project folder
choose 'main' for project name
manually add swc folder in library path etc.
use regular trace function
build project

Improved way:
extract flex_project zip file
start fb3
file-import project
choose flex_project folder
no other changes needed
build project
