Map Making Error

redrum

@beelee Not really following you. Did the XML I uploaded not fix the problem for you? Are you still seeing the same error after using that or a different error?

beelee

@redrum well i renamed the xml so it'd match the previous working name. No joy there either.

Guess I'll go punch some paper and try again tomorrow.

Thanks for your time

@beelee I use the program XML copy editor, which you can use to verify the XML code before running. It is good at catching typos.

@beelee What error did you get after using the XML I posted? It worked for me and the only other change I had to make was change the mapName property to match the folder:

    <property name="mapName" value="world_war_ii_global" editable="false"/>

@redrum well finally got it to work. Was a naming issue, had to get rid of all the numbers, which I tried last night, but...I screwed up somewhere. Anyway don't know why you had to rename the way you did. This is what i have:

Still trying to figure out these editors. If @anyone knows where I can find some sort of tutorial on notepadqq, it would be way cool. I looked around a couple weeks ago and never found anything that helpful.

If you don't mind redrum, could you give me an example of what you changed ? Just want to understand where I screwed up. No biggie if you're busy ( which I'm sure you are ).

Thanks for Everyone's time : )

Peace Out

@beelee good job bee

@beelee Here is what I use to compare files in Notepad++: http://www.technicaloverload.com/compare-two-files-using-notepad/

You actually had just random "n" characters at the beginning of some of the lines. Here is an example from your original XML:

    <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Germans_BomberA3" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
      <option name="techs" value="BombersA3_GiveToAll" count="1"/>
    </attachment>
n    <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Russians_BomberA3" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
      <option name="techs" value="BombersA3_GiveToAll" count="1"/>
    </attachment>

@redrum Thank you

as my buddy's dad used to say " if you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough"

@prastle thanks bro : )

@RogerCooper thanks for the heads up on the XML copy editor. Gonna give it a go. Just one more challenge for me heh heh : )

Probably not the best place for this as i'm sure it's addressed somewhere but if you have:

instead of:

it won't show up in the "select map" section when triplea is on. Just thought I'd I share since it took me 24 hours to figure it out : )

Please move to appropriate place or delete : )

you should use notepad++
