South Africa 1885

I can't load it either, someone send me working XML, I'll have a look.

Post by **chipv** » Tue Nov 30, 2010 2:31 am

I loaded the XML from page 28 and have same conclusion as ender516, the XML is incorrect there
failing the schema check in both the XML Wizard and Mapmaker (as they both do the same check)

Code: Select all

<continent>
    <name>Swaziland w/ a source of weapons</name>
    <bonus>2</bonus>
    <components>
        <territory>Swaziland</territory>
    </components>
    <components>
        <continent>Swaziland</continent>
        <continent>a source of weapons</continent>
    </components>
    <overrides>

        <override>Swaziland</override>
    </overrides>
</continent>

has 2 components sections, there should only be one.

If there is a more up to date XML with problems, please let me have a look.

The current XML is this: http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/11/14 ... frica3.xml (XML was capitalized before, shouldn't have been, that was my fault)

So then it would just be fixed as this:

Code: Select all

<continent>
    <name>Swaziland w/ a source of weapons</name>
    <bonus>2</bonus>
    <components>
        <territory>Swaziland</territory>
        <continent>Swaziland</continent>
        <continent>a source of weapons</continent>
    </components>
    <overrides>

        <override>Swaziland</override>
    </overrides>
</continent>

Yep that will do it.

Post up the correct XML and pass it to Forza for a check - then we should be done here.

Is the link the current and updated version? If so, I'll throw it up on page 1.

This is it here:

You do not need the <territory/> entry as a component there. The following is sufficient:

Code: Select all

<continent>
    <name>Swaziland w/ a source of weapons</name>
    <bonus>2</bonus>
    <components>
        <continent>Swaziland</continent>
        <continent>a source of weapons</continent>
    </components>
    <overrides>
        <override>Swaziland</override>
    </overrides>
</continent>

Well spotted. You don't need the override either since the continent is a single territory just reducing the bonus works also.

I'm also not keen on continents having the same name as territories.

I think the override is a good idea, because (I think) it reduces the clutter in the game log (and the BOB continent overview).

I got the PM back from Forza, and there are two border mistakes. When I get back to the computer with the file on it (tomorrow night) I will upload the new version.

Updated XML sent to Forza

Gilligan · Post by **Gilligan** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 9:42 am

(Sorry for the triple post)

XML is OK now.

Industrial Helix · Post by **Industrial Helix** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 10:48 am

It's ok for the triple post, you made up for it with the last one.

Can you post a link to the updated XML?

Gilligan · Post by **Gilligan** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 10:49 am

Right right --

Thanks. Now we just have to wait for ben and whomever to double check the XML like 20 times and we'll be set for beta.

Uh, what's going on? It's been like a month.

thenobodies80 · Post by **thenobodies80** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 11:37 am

Can I suggest to move a bit to the right Caledon armies (small)?
Also Ipolela can be moved to up 1px (small) and 2 or 3 px to left.

Not a big fan of Ulundi and its fort with 888, but the space is tight so I think it's fine as it is now.

I'd be happy to oblige but the mapmaker thing doesn't seem to be working for me. I can't see any numbers... if anyone has any ideas, let me know. if not I'll try again when I get home.

It worked for me. Do you have the links copied exactly?

Is it possible you are running into this problem?

Industrial Helix · Post by **Industrial Helix** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 9:01 am

yeah.... that's exactly it.

Gilligan · Post by **Gilligan** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 11:35 am

But..If we're using the same XML URL, how come I didn't have that problem?
