CA149, missing roof style

JimP

I saw red Xs and did a list. Its location 12 on the overhead maps.

Here is a screenshot of the list command. Kinda hard for me to read.

Otherwise a great map and I am looking at using this in my game world.

Everything is fine for me. I very beautiful set of maps and a beautiful style.

I'll have to play with it to see how I can use.

JimP

Looking at all of the maps in this annual's folder:

Beaumaris1.fcw and the 3d fcw have it. The other three maps do not. So its on my hard drive.

JimP

Okay, in Beaumaris2, 3, and 4, its on rooftops layer. In Beaumaris1 it ison Standard layer and named ' floor - limestone - SMC'.

So doing a changefs to the floor limestone in bitmap fills fixes it.

edit: Well, the kitchen still doesn't have a roof though. So not a fix.

Jim - There should be a red tile fill in there somewhere. I don't know how its been renamed (if its there and I didn't forget it in all the mass of artwork I uploaded) but it should look like this (screen shot from my own personal folder, please ignore the name I gave it as it will be different to the name you see in the annual)


And no - I haven't downloaded the annual yet. I'm conserving broadband in case MS pull another 2GB update on me just before the end of my broadband month again.

JimP

Sorry, but the only red fill I see that might be brick is a 'floor - brick SMC'.

The roofs listed are: Roof lead, Roof straw, and Roof tiled. They don't look like what you posted.

Loopysue

The roof tiled should be the one. What does yours look like?

EDIT: I've already asked Ralf if I missed it in the hand over, so if its not there he will let me know and I'll have it to him quite quickly.

Is anyone else missing this fill?

I've downloaded the file but haven't installed it yet in case there's an update for Jim's red x...

Loopysue

Meanwhile I can't really afford to download it right now, so I can't say either way. I am very sorry though if this is down to me forgetting to upload that particular fill.

JimP

Roof tiled SMC gives me the red Xs.

No problem. You and Ralf will fix it.

Loopysue

Thank you for your patience Jim

Wyvern

Sorry Jim, I've just downloaded and installed CA149, and am getting no red Xs anywhere. All seems fine - and looks great Sue! - to me. I did keep a close watch on the PNGs during the installation, and definitely spotted the roof tile going through (albeit briefly - you have to be quick to spot it).

Maybe try a repair reinstall Jim? Unless the file's been updated since you downloaded it - seems unlikely in only seven hours, but you never know - it looks as though it's fine now.

JimP

Only some of the map files have the problem.

Loopysue

That's very weird.

Maybe the PF Team rectified it at some point between when Jim started this thread, and when Wyvern downloaded it?

JimP

Earlier I pulled up the file in the bitmap fills window, but it showed red Xs. So while it exists, there doesn't seem to be anything there. I don't think it is a zero byte file, but I'll know in a few minutes.

I'm trying a repair using the file I downloaded 10 hours ago.

JimP

The tiles are in Bitmaps/Tiles/Castles

When the repair/install is done, I'll load the maps and see if they are in the fcw files.

JimP

Its looking in Programdata folder.

C:\Programdata\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Bitmaps\Tiles\Castles\Roof tile_VL.PNG

I install to C:\Profantasy\CC3Plus\

The red tile bitmap fill is the only one doing that. The rest are set to @Bitmaps\Tiles\Castles\

Loopysue

Ah ha!

That is my fault.

Sorry, Jim. That's an absolute reference, and it will cause problems to anyone installing to folders other than the default one.

There is a 60 second fix, but I think Ralf will probably want to update the issue at some point now that its been discovered, since not everyone will feel comfortable doing this.

1. Open the Fill style properties dialog by clicking the end window in the top row.

2. Select the fill that's showing as a red cross in your map - the one with the C:\ address called Roof tile, and delete the front section of the address in the text box showing the address, leaving just the last section:

\Bitmaps\Tiles\Castles\Roof tile…

[Image_12766]

3. Then add a '@' just in front of that so that it reads:

@\Bitmaps\Tiles\Castles\Roof tile... (the end details will vary between users depending on the resolution being used)

[Image_12767]

4. Then close the dialog, and refresh the screen. You may have to close and open CC3 again.

I regret to say that this little operation will be necessary in all the map files.

…

How it came to be like that is because I forgot to do this myself before sending the file to Profantasy. I missed it.

I am so sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you, and anyone else who is experiencing this problem!

I will let Ralf know about the mistake so that he can update the template and FCW maps in the annual when it is time to do a regular update.

JimP

I only had to do it in 3 of the 5 map files. No problem.

Ralf

I've fixed the maps and updated the setup for the Annual. Just re-download the issue and install it again to fix the reference to the bitmap file.

Alternatively, If you don't want to re-download the whole thing, just open all the maps one by one, run the FFIX macro on each and save them. Do the same to the fill style reference file in /System/Fill Styles/CA149 Fill Styles.FCW.

JimP

Argh. I didn't even think of trying ffix.

Loopysue

Me neither. I didn't know it fixed absolute references like that.

EDIT: Thank you, Ralf

Monsen

It does, but it wouldn't have helped Jim, as it looks for absolute references matching your data directory to proper relative references, but Jim has his data directory in another location (which is why the error was spotted in the first place).

JimP

Yeah, ffix didn't change the /System/Fill Styles/CA149 Fill Styles.FCW so I'll have to do that one by hand as well.

JimP

List shows its called 'Roof tiled smc' in the fcw file, but the bitmap is 'Roof tile smc'.

I change the fill style on that one bit and it works now in the /System/Fill Styles/CA149 Fill Styles.FCW
