Thank you for posting!

For some reason I cannot get the Chat, Global and Campaign windows to dock properly(across the bottom) (See screenshot). Any ideas? Thanks!

It took me a long time to get the docking right in map tool. It mainly a matter off trial and error, and very hard to explain how to. I would suggest to dock one panel at the bottom first and then"side"dock the others. Keep in mind that they dock differently depending on where you drag them

@Wolf
Well, I thought of my launcher as a contribution anyway,
so if you like, why don't you add it to the standard build?

With best regards,
Clyde.

Wolph is there supposed to be two separate maptool jar files in the link to b90 & b91? I downloaded it and I don't see any reference to b91 anywhere in the zip. Is this the correct file or am I just confused?

Nope. Sorry I confused myself. I had multiple versions of the same zip file and found I had extracted the wrong one. Second copy is up to date, first one was just b90.

Thanks for jarring my brain loose!

Maptool version 91 has now been officially released, including the launcher. Which renders this topic thus redundant. I've updated the OP

I keep getting this errors and I don't find anything about them... anyone can help?

Image

Edit:
I am running windows 8.1 and I have installed both Java 7 and 8 (64 bit)... I've tried many different things

I get this error
- With Java 7 64 bit installed and Java 8 64 bit not installed
- With Java 8 64 bit installed and Java 7 64 bit not installed
- With both Java 7 64 and Java 8 64 bit installed

I downloaded some kind of update that changes "Default.Theme" and have a link to launch maptool.
The link is:

C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe -jar MapToolLauncher.B91.jar " for Java 7
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe" -jar MapToolLauncher.B91.jar for Java 8
With both i get this error...

If i try to simply launch the MapToolLauncher.jar... i get this error...

I am planning to throw my computer out of the window... I am sure it will not resolve the issue but i will not see that error again...

I can't believe it was just that... :shock:

Ok... you saved my computer from flying out of the windows... we both thank you... ^_^


Edit:
I deleted it and launched MT with no error... but now the mt.cfg is there again... and the error came back as well... is there a way to avoid this to happen?

OK thats weird. Sommetimes that file gets setup wrongly and deleting it solves the issue. It should create a New one as its required, but why it fails *again* eludes me. In comes the devs...

Can you post the content of the .cfg file?

The launcher takes all of the settings from the GUI panel that comes up and saves them in the .cfg file (so it can restore them later).

If you're getting those strings in the dialog and not text, then there's a problem with one of the tools (either the launcher or MT) not being able to find the translation file, so it falls back to the name of the property instead of its translated value. (Maybe it's not finding Italian translations and that's causing the problem?)

Anyway, a look at the .cfg file would probably point it out.

PS: By any chance did you unpack it without preserving the directory structure in the ZIP file? There are supposed to be various subdirectories and if they're not there, that might explain why it couldn't find the translation files. (Hm, sounds like a bug to be added to the tracker. The tracker should check that certain directories exist and print a warning if they don't. Of course, that's what the dialog box could be -- a warning that something is missing!)
