Issues Loading New Map: Avatar

[redrum]

@black-order So your map appears in the list for me by just unzipping the download and putting the avatar folder into the downloadedMaps folder:

File path for XML:

../downloadedMaps/avatar/games/avatar.xml

[Black Order]

i will try the same

[Cernel]

@black-order Uh? Can you test if it works unzipped as well? It should work either way. Just be sure not having both the zip and the regular folder at the same time, for testing. I can see no reasons for working zipped if it doesn't unzipped, for you.

@black-order said in give back the map folder! please?:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot connect a territory to itself

Guess you have a territory connected to the same.

Cannot connect a territory to itself

There is your issue. You apparently have at least one territory with a connection to itself.

[redrum]

@black-order Yeah so now you are a step further and see it in the list but when you select it then it does the full parse and checks if your XML is logically valid. It appears you have a number of connections defined from/to the same territory with is invalid. Here is an example:

<connection t1="nwt28" t2="nwt28"/>

[Cernel]

@black-order Also, now I see that you have stuff like this:

<connection t2="nwt1" t1="nwt0"/>
<connection t2="nwt0" t1="nwt1"/>

You should not have a same connection spelled both ways. You need only one. I don't believe this should give you problems, but it is redundant.
Anyways I don't get why you get the error but @redrum doesn't.

[Black Order]

you have 2 do go and return right?

[Hepps]

@black-order No. A single connection between all connected terr.

[Cernel]

@black-order As much as it would be nice that TripleA supports being able to move from A to B but not from B to A, that is not the case. Defining one or the other allows both, thus it is redundant having both.

[redrum]

@cernel Correct but I don't believe defining both will cause any issues. Its just redundant and will ignore one of them.

@Black-Order Your issue is that you have a bunch of territories connected to themselves like I posted an example of.

[redrum]

@black-order Here is a fixed XML file removing the connections to itself: 0_1528209401626_avatar.xml

Then you'll see a new error when trying to start the game (it successfully parses the XML now though). Appears to be a problem with one of your placement files having a duplicate entry for "nek161".

Here is a fixed place file: 0_1528209899890_place.txt

And there is something wrong with your small map image so replace it with the POS2 smallMap.jpeg for now:

Then you'll get an error indicating that you are missing territory entries in the centers.txt for: nwt0-nwt473. You'll need to add all those in to move any further.

[redrum]

@black-order My guess is you have a duplicate or missing entry in polygons.txt. Can you upload the fixed centers.txt so I can take a look?

[Black Order]

2_1528210753016_polygons.txt 1_1528210753016_place.txt 0_1528210753016_centers.txt

[Hepps]

@black-order don't get discouraged... this is all part of map making. You tend to go on a bug hunt after all the up front work is done. It gets easier as you plod on through the issues.

[Black Order]

i know im bussy with it so long about 3 years already and this is just 1% of the 43% i hope 2 bedone in 2020 22feb on my birthday

[Hepps]

@black-order I hear you. I'm on a journey similar to yours.

[redrum]

@black-order Here is a zip with mostly working files that just remove all territories except 0-4 (the map mostly launches but you are missing some capitals then). Here is the zip: 0_1528212057743_avatar-simplified.zip
