ok i was compiling my map everything was going peachy .it started doing the bmp tileing work or what ever. then went on to creating the minimap is said bad command but kept going so im thinking ok maby everything is ok.
when that got to 99% it said bad command can not continue X_X.
anyone know whats up ??
map compile probelm

hmm strange problem. What mapconv are you using? You should try and find the latest of mothers mapconv (probably also named that way).
What are your maps dimensions? And did you use the -e tile parameter? That one could f*rk it up when used incorrectly.
could you post your whole line of compiling? (mapconv -f features.bmp -i -l -c 0.6 ...etc.)

yea sure. i use the map conv that works if the other one dosent work. but i didnt try the other one first. if that makes any sence lol.
mapconv.exe -i -x 500 -n -30 -m metal.bmp -a hieghtmap.bmp -t 4IslandsofAchilles.bmp -o 4_Islands_of_Achilles.smf -f feature.bmp -c .5
im also using features for the first time. is there any special place they need to be ?? i put the feature names in the text fiel and did the re dots correctly. not placing them close together and using 255 254 and so on.
here is another question puting water on my map dont i have to use a - min hieght number ?? like -100

Well first of all, i must say i use the mapconv (the latest you will find) of Mother. (also named like this in download, also on FU if im not mistaking)
Features should be statet in the fs.txt file. (first = 255 red on featuremap, 254 is second, and so on)(like you did indeed).
when putting water on the map, yes you need a negative -n parameter. Be sure you make it at least 125 deep (-125), when testing with AA, i found that subs ans some ships had a hard time moving on -100. (this is assuming that the lowest part on your heightmap, the sea/ocean, is pure black.
Then i don't really have evidence that this is so, but try using the 'default' paramater sequence:
mapconv -f feature.bmp -i -l -c 0.5 -x 475 -n -125 -o 4IsllandsofAchilles.smf -y Typemap.bmp -m metal.bmp -a heightmap.bmp -t Texture.bmp
Maybe you should also (just in case) rename your texture file to something like texture.bmp.
Also make sure that the path to this directory in which you're compiling does not have ANY spaces in them. A path of D:\games\TA spring\My Maps\4 islands of achilles\*.* will not work!
Try these things if you like, and tell me if it worked out or not :)

Now i really think its a problem of your command prompt environment. Find the command.com, or overwrite it with a original one, run some antivirus things could be helpful aswell... My guess is there's something wrong with your windows install, and not a mapconv prob.wired wrote:the map conv version im using is from the link in the wiki in the dev programs list. the file name is this UberMapConv-083105.sd7 is that the right one ??
i have made 2 maps in the past like 6 months ago and never had this problem X_X
still not working =/ are you sure its a xp problem and not one of my map files /? i think photoshop is fuxing my bmp files some how. because i use terragen right and i import my heightmap to render it. and it uses a plugin for that. see if i use the bmp strat out of photoshop it wont import the bmp i have to edit it in paint first and save it from there and it works ??? this seems liek it could be it seeing that the problem starts when its writing the bmp files =/. i tryed loading the 256 mb bmp into paint but it cant seem to handle images that big. damn your microsoft.
do you know another program i could use to save bmps ??
do you know another program i could use to save bmps ??
i checked and turns out i was i also downloaded a new cmd command prompt thingy jsut incase mine was broken still same extended error message. it has to be something with my map.
ok here are a few things i did to it that might of fuxered it.
first when it came out of terragen it needed to be resized because it had a big black box around it i dont know y it did =/ maby because my system can render images bigger then 6k dontk now. so i resized it to 8k with out the black box which stretched the picture by over 2000 pixles lol. still looked nice though. i then erased the flat land parts and made them a 32x32 tileing texture made in terragen also. and added noize to them.
i also resized my hieght map for like 800 pixels to like 1004
thats the onlything i can think of that wrong. also do you place geos in the metal map or the feature map. some tuts said metal some say features.
im gunna try a system resotre lol if that dosent work ima try something else i guess.
