Map error help

[gabegolfer]

OK, thanks to you guys and all your help I think the XML works now. But now I get a "Map name property not set on game" message after I load the map and try to play? Doesn't this have to do with the properties file?

map.showComments=true
map.useNation_convoyFlags=false
map.mapBlendAlpha=0.3
map.cursor.hotspot.y=0
units.counter.offset.width=20
map.mapBlendMode=OVERLAY
map.showTerritoryNames=true

map.showSeaZoneNames=false

map.scrollWrapY=false
map.showCapitolMarkers=true

That is not the problem. You need to have code like this:

<!-- Map Name: also used for map utils when asked (MUST exactly match the folder or zip name of your map (do not include the .zip of course). May point to another map folder if you are making a mod of that map) -->
    <property name="mapName" value="the_pact_of_steel" editable="false">
      <string/>
    </property>
  

Check existing XML to see how it used.

Ok that worked perfectly, but now all I get is an annoying "JAVA heap space" error. If you know how to adjust the memory or whatever the heap space is that would be awesome! Thanks again!

[RogerCooper]

@gabegolfer I can't help you with JAVA heap space other to suggest to make sure you have an up to date version of Java.

@gabegolfer

I think u gotta do something to "Vmotions" boost it from 2 to 4. Unfortunately I don't remember where it is. You could ask @RoiEX or @Panther

[Cernel]

@gabegolfer Is this map enormous? You actually get that right upon starting without any AI involved?

[gabegolfer]

Ummmm yeah this map is huge. (13091x12461)

[gabegolfer]

So what do I do with the something.bat file?

[RoiEX]

@gabegolfer If you created your batch file, you just double click it and it should start TripleA.
However most people probably installed TripleA via the installer, so it would be better to follow those steps instead.

[gabegolfer]

@RoiEX Apparently I "don't have permission" to edit the Vmpotions file. Any suggestions?

[RoiEX]

You might be able to run your text editor with administrative privileges (I.e. as administrator).
If that doesn't work for you, you can easily copy the file to your desktop or something, edit it there and move it back to the original position to overwrite the file

Ok thanks, that worked!
