Jurassic v2.0

@TheDog You can't do it in the xml file. You need to do it in polygons.txt. Here is New Zealand in World War II v3.

@RogerCooper THANK YOU

The polygons.txt defines the separate zones to get player-colored (will have a single pixel black border), and the overlay reliefTiles can hide that hard edge border to give the appearance of fully wrapped irregular territories.

[GREGOREK]

Frustration mounting. Carved up territories where they overlap map boundaries. All looking good with a few exceptions. The problem is no reliefTiles displaying. So, I purged the territory boundaries and just registered squares for each around centers. Just to get them out of the discussion, should an error there have some impact on the display not using the reliefTiles. All defined exactly like Jurassic, et al. Very simple map.properties file with a single player (alone) and game unit (nobody). The scroll works but no baseTiles or reliefTiles. All folders present and unzipped in downloadedMaps folder to get better debugging messages.

color.alone=ff9f40
color.Neutral=333333
color.Impassable=000000
units.scale=1.00
map.hasRelief=true
map.scrollWrapX=true
map.scrollWrapY=true
map.showCapitolMarkers=false
map.width=5120
map.height=5120

Note: If neanderthal is zipped in the downloadedMaps folder then I get an error polygons.txt cannot be found, even though it's in the map folder. Extract the zip in place and error goes away. I've basically cloned jurassic to make neanderthal. It has to be something simple overlooked. Any insights?

@GREGOREK
Just checking you have View> Show Map Details TICKED

[GREGOREK]

@TheDog
it's checked and debug console empty.
I ordered a Ouija board from Amazon.

[GREGOREK]

This is irritating.

I turned off the surrounding territories by replacing their boundary with a simple square. Then did all, except for the two offending cells. Removed duplicate pixels in other loops. Reduced all cells by averaging every three pixels (with an integer snap) to get rid of 'staircases'. Same Result.

Dumped their data into a separate display. Look fine. Bright light, crosses, I dont know what else to try. Note: these loops are the first in each of the associated territory's polygons.txt definition. One houses its territory center. The other does not. Doesnt seem to matter.

The reliefTiles also continue to annoy. Sparse forum posts on the subject. I'm going to try finding TripleA cache files with Neanderthal in the name and deleting them. Maybe some legacy data preventing their display.

[GREGOREK]

reliefTiles are now displaying.
I have once again brought shame to my family.

still have the two territories not displaying all their parts as posted above.

[GREGOREK]

Here's an interesting wrinkle. I have a memory fault. something I've done or omitted, is trashing memory.

I associated a territory with one of the players simply to mark it in the game, and suddenly a working territory cannot find the forest factory image which is used everywhere.

The gray box is the new anomaly. All forest territories have an invisible 16x16 factory. Nothing special about this one. Defined exactly like all the others. This error does not happen when the larger polygon loop described above is not assigned a player owner.

[TheDog]

@GREGOREK
These version will ignore the missing image and then tell you which image is missing.

2.7.15256
Technology tab split from players tab on to its own tab. (Really good for 1888a & Total World War as they have lots of Tech)
Shows any map missing icons as a placeholder square icon.
Shows on status bar the relationship(war, neutral, allied) of territories (Really good in FFA maps)
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15256

and
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15570

So upgrade.

[GREGOREK]

@TheDog
Upgraded to latest. Now experiencing squint font with no way to change it. (?)
Problems persist. Factory Image is loaded and used everywhere. XML is script generated so any typo would appear everywhere.
Getting new error behaviors by simply adding owner to a territory suggests memory trashing somewhere.
I probably gutted too much out of Jurassic to make a bare-bones XML. Jurassic works with no change to management image files like factories. All carried over to Neanderthal.
I suspect a missing initializer in the XML.
Thanks for the help. I'll keep digging.

[GREGOREK]

Note: in this latest version, I dont see the debug window. Latest screen error:

NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.awt.image.BufferedImage.getWidth(java.awt.image.ImageObserver)" because "fromFile" is null

Who is this 'Observer'? and are they watching me now?!

[TheDog]

@GREGOREK
Just checking you know about triplea.log
It is located here
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\triplea

The console looks very similar to triplea.log

[TheDog]

I will guess this maybe the Observer
