Jurassic v2.0

[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)

and

So upgrade.

@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.

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?!

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

The console looks very similar to triplea.log

I will guess this maybe the Observer

@TheDog
Thank you for noting location of LOG file.
Observer is set to false.

The error seems to stem from a baseTile being null. All are good. Including reliefTIles. The map does have a width that aligns exactly to the 256x256 tile size, thus 20x20 tiles, name 0_0.png through 19_19.png. (5120x5120 map width/height in properties) The small map in upper right corner does not display right and bottom edge correctly.

The border slicing may have created zero area islands, island chains, and two-pixel spurs. Only noticed two candidates for that, but they display correctly. Get observer error, even with single polygon boxes around territory centers, hasRelief set to false (reliefTiles folder must be removed to not display reliefTiles). I'm going to recreate the XML script from scratch. Maybe missed an initializer, version, or other element that is not optional.

Note: map/smallMap.jpeg is 300x300. Is it supposed to be a particular scaled size of main map (which is 5120x5120)?

Just for a sanity check. Please load this and see if you get the same error.

@GREGOREK

I declare you sane, I get this

[GREGOREK]

I'm still hunting down the Observer-Null error, but higher forces need to get involved on this one.

Turning wrapX and wrapY off, the cell boundary display error is gone.

Turning wrapX on, the cells display properly but the small map drops the right edge.

Turning wrapY on, the cells get truncated and the small image drops the bottom edge.

The game provides 'island groups' in the polygons.txt display but was never tested for map border-crossings, wherein a territory can exist on opposite sides of the map and a single territory can exist at all four corners. It looks like a bounding-box oversight. For complete wrapXandY this needs to be addressed on the engine side.

@GREGOREK

Check the baseTiles 7-17.png is bad. This is causing your problems.
