Some Questions about error checking?

**thecrusader** · 05-30-2005, 19:30

Hi all,
I ran the game from a short-cut and used "show_err" command after the route. I closed down the game and got the error message. How can i search the a specific line in a text (notepad) document?

Also, I am new to the forum and i was wondering how you add a personal image to your profile?

Any help would be great, Thanks!

For the former, you'll have to use a better text editor. I happen to use TextPad, largely because it ranked high on Google. Doubtless others have other preferences.

As for the latter, the Guild does not presently allow custom avatars. This may change in the near future.

Thanks!
I have just completed adding a new island/province to the campaign map and updated all files (according to tutorial). I used the "show_err" command and it says "you have chosen an invalid tile(0,0) for the settlement........". I have tried editing map_regions to reposition the black dot for the settlement several times but i still get the same error message!

Is there anything you could suggest?

If the message gives you no name for the settlement, it is possible that some pixel remains with a color different from those defined in descr_regions.txt. The game identifies this pixel as a new region.
Check the whole map to find the lost pixel.

Or alternatively take the latest working version and repeat the process. Sometimes it works.

Good luck.

arrgghhhhh its the bane of all camp map editors i had the same problems with my map and could not for the life of me figure out wot was wrong. so i gave up and reverted to the last working version. this is ur best bet. make sure u keep lots backups of ur work and only do small bits at a time.
oh and welcome to the guild
cheers knoddy
