'java' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
If it helps, I'm using Windows Vista (crosses heart). I checked on the java website using their detector to tell whether you have the latest version or not; that says I do. I'm guessing there's something messed up with Vista's cmd.exe (you can't even copy / paste / select stuff in it >_>)

It's set up the same way as XP, people need to stop blaming vista for things. Right click the title bar, properties, turn on quick edit mode. Now make an angry face at Sun for not installing to $PATH and follow me.
cmd.exe
C:\prog<tab> (two tabs for 64-bit to get the (x86) folder)
\java<tab>
\j<tab> (mine has a version number on this folder, but let's go on to be exact, if you have more than one folder here, go into the latest)
\bin\java -version

Then it is strange it found java out of the .bat before?!?!
On XP it does not install into PATH too,
but copies a java.exe into %windir%/system32, which is part of PATH.
EDIT:
@Auswaschbar:
Could you package the 64bit libs again. Somehow my 7zip complains about an invalid archive? (I have the latest version)

Code: Select all
C:\>"Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04"\bin\java -version
java version "1.6.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_04-b12)

hm, java 1.6 is ok.
update 4 is quite old, but it should work anyway.
You could try to get the latest jvm from java.sun.com. (update 11 is current)
Maybe just the reinstall/update will help.
Another idea would be to add the java bin directory to PATH manually...

I'd like to make another feature request.
The feature remove function is bit vexxing at the moment. Deleting a feature requires right-clicking on the exact centerpoint of the feature.
Could you alter it so that all features within the brush square are removed? That way depending on whether I want to remove a single feature or remove entire sections (or even from the whole map) I can do it by setting the brush size.
Thanks!

It's because java isn't in your PATH...

It is just a wild guess, because I have no vista installation somewhere near me, but could those with the PATH problem try using attached startup-scripts?
Maybe it helps...

I'll give them a shot now. I've also made a few textures for this too, though I'd like to check how they look ingame before posting them up
EDIT: It works! Thanks!
EDIT: Is there a way to invert mouse-look by any chance?

Good to know. I'll include the scripts in the next release.
About mouse:
open config/settings.cfg
and change

Tried out the latest version. A few quibbles:
1. There is no "snap" function.
2. There is no "flip" function, for flipping bitmaps X/Y, nor a rotate 90.
3. You can't use a non-square texture and get a non-square display, to know where things are going to actually go.
4. You can't see an overlay of the texture when using the alpha-channel mode, so you can't tell whether it'll be flipped or aligned correctly.
5. There is no one-step Undo. CTRL-Z wipes out all of my work.
It's great otherwise, I really love the auto-generation stuff, etc., I'm sure that will save people a lot of time. Just can't really use this for making roads that look right yet.

By the way, is there a way to create a new map that's completely flat? It's always really bumpy with the 'new map' function

Just import a flat heightmap... ?
Still need to invest the time to get this running by the way, it sounds really good, and the maps SpikedHelmet has made with it look pretty awesome :D!

@Anarchid: I'll look into it, but what ogl_1 cards do you have which you think this will run decent on? (I still have some things I want to do, before making the source public)
@Overkill: Do you really have java installed?
If yes, try reinstalling it.
If it still does not work:
Please do a search on your system drive for "java.exe" and post the results here.
About undo: I'll think about it...
You all have 4 gigs of ram? :D
