Change Memory Default

[brunocalado]

Hi.

MapTools 1.4.1.8 warn me about not enough memory, so I went search how to fix it. There are a way to change how much memory MapTools can use. But, I can't do it.

I found a .bat which could do the trick, but it does not work in the folder of maptool-1.4.1.8.zip (50.43MB)

Code: Select all

set STACK=4M
set MAXMEM=2048M
set JAVA=javaw
set VERS=1.4.1.8
start "MapTool" %JAVA% -Xmx%MAXMEM% -Xss%STACK% -jar maptool-%VERS%.jar run

With maptool-windows64-1.4.1.8.exe (44.63MB) I can't even found the folder where the files are to try the .bat.

So I want to know:
1 - How much default memory it is using now?
2 - How can modify it?
3 - What is the maximum memory I can put as standard memory on a computer with 8GB of RAM?
4 - The box of the launcher can be used to modify memory?

Thank you.

How are you launching MapTool? (no s)

If you are using the launcher, the launcher window has a field for entering the various RAM configurations.

On your 8GB system you could in theory go up to nearly that but you won't need to. Even 4GB will be overkill in most situations.

Hi. Thank you for reply.

I'm on Win 10 64bit 8GB

To launch I click on "MapTool Launcher"
The there is a error message:

Code: Select all

msg.info.configFeedback
msg.error.configBadFormat

Then there is a box (https://imgur.com/a/wnEu0P4)

I need to increase memory. MapTools warn me about it and stopped work. I'll try 4GB.

But, in this 3 Text boxes what I fill?

How do I make it automatic? Just click and it is configured?

Thank you.

Seems to be a problem with your install. You shouldn't have your tabs saying the variable names. I recommend going to the jWrapper-MapTool and delete it (path in image) and then re-install from your desktop or downloads folder.

I only want to know how to increase the memory default. Can anyone just teach that?

If it is in that box, what settings do I put? I want to give it 4GB.

You enter the memory settings in the Launcher window that you keep linking.

But there is a problem. It shouldn't have that variable name in the memory field nor in the names of the tabs.

It's possible that if you do enter a valid number in there for max memory that it still won't work. Still you should try and hopefully get lucky. So where you see it says, "msg.info.javaMaxMem" you can put in 4096 to get 4GB of memory. Then click on where it says "msg.info.launchMapTool" and cross your fingers.

If it works, great. If it doesn't, uninstall MapTool. Delete everything in C:\users\Bruno\AppData\JWrapper-MapTool\. Reinstall and try again.

I can't uninstall. The only folder I can find is:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\JWrapper-MapTool\
Inside it there are the following folders:

Code: Select all

JWApps
JWAppsSharedConfig
JWrapper-JWrapper-00049034758-complete
JWrapper-MapTool-00053648849-complete
JWrapper-Windows64JRE-00053600256-complete
logs

None of then have a uninstall utility.

Another thing, when I run the launcher from direct from the folder "maptool-1.4.1.8.zip" I also get the same error you are talking about

You can't run it out of the zip file. You need to unzip it first.

Hold it.

Did you download "maptool-1.4.1.8.zip" from the RPTools download page?

Unzip that file somewhere. Preferably your user directory or someplace you have full read/write access to.

Then double-click on "MapTool-Launcher-1.4.1.8-fat.jar".

Yes. I know it. I unzip it.

I don't know how, but it work. After open 'MapTool-Launcher-1.4.1.8-fat.jar' I got:
4096
16
4

Thank you.

Glad you got it worked out.
