MapTool 1.1 Development Release Build 24

Post by **trevor** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 4:29 pm

You shouldn't ever need to clear out your image cache, but for information, it's located (in windows) in c:\documents and settings\<username>\.maptool\assetCache

With the last couple of builds, there should be a MapTool.bat that you can run. If yours doesn't, try getting a current zip, and just copy the MapTool.bat into the old zip directory.

As Trevor said once you extract the ZIP file you should have a directory that looks like this:

Code: Select all

|   maptool-1.1.b24.jar
|   MapTool.bat
|   README
|
\---lib
        abeille-formsrt-2.0.jar
        clientserver-1.0.b10.jar
        hessian-2.1.12.jar
        maptool.resource-1.0.b3.jar
        rplib-1.0.b67.jar
        rplib.resource-1.0.b9.jar
        servicediscoverylib-1.0.b2.jar
        tinylaf-1.3.04.jar
        withay-util.jar

Under windows you should be able to just run the batch file.

It's rather odd that jar files are associated with Wordpad. They should be associated with the "java.exe" program of the Java install.

Thanks Phergus,

Just my luck. In my attempt to better understand how to revert to a previous version, I had just picked one at random from the list of builds. I was trying to install B18 which doesn't have a .bat file or a README.

Plus, I was just dragging the files from the .zip into a folder, not extracting them, thus the folder structure was lost which explains why it was never able to make it to class on time... or something.

I wonder if making it a self-extracting .zip would resolve that. Or just requiring a minimum IQ to download... for which I apparently do not qualify.

Bug: I was brousing through image folders when I clicked on one and my computer utilization went high and then all images were question marks in the Image Explorer. I ended up having to end task to close Maptool or else I would have been able to cook an egg on my laptop.

This is what I got at the Java console:

TinyLaF v1.3.04
'Default.theme' not found - using YQ default theme.

That's a really weird place to break. Tell me about the directory, how many images, how big are they, does it happen every time ?

You can always copy one out of a later archive.

Or make your own. They are just text files with a single line in them:

java -Xmx256M -jar maptool-1.1.b*.jar

Yeah. That would cause problems.

Maybe some day they can add a version with an installer.

I downloaded some maps from rpgmapshare.com (thanks SR!) and I this happened to me too. Fired up the debugger and found that it's actually doing something, but seems to be a bug in the color space converter in Java. If you were to let it run its course, it would eventually finish.

But that's not ideal.

I'm working on finding a workaround (I have one, but it costs lots and lots of memory) and will include something in the next build (if I can find one that works for speed and memory)

I am glad you were able to reproduce it anyway. Have fun!
