Problem with custom map

[omahan]

Hi. I created a map for custom use, and I was testing it with the AIs, but the map wont load.

The game says "Premature end of data in tag Resource line 3"

This is my resource tag: <Resource name="Parallelomap" type="aamap" version="1" author="Omahan" category="omahancustom">

Help??

I'm running version 0.2.8.3.1 on Windows XP

Welcome to the Armagetron Advanced Forums. Enjoy!

This is my resource tag: <Resource name="Parallelomap" type="aamap" version="1" author="Omahan" category="omahancustom"

Omahancustom shouldn't be the category, use - if it's a Fortress Map, obviously - e.g. Fortress. Or for Sumo Sumo. etc. And (I'm not sure about that) you should change version "1" to 0.0.1.

Then, the Headline should be

Code: Select all

<Resource name="Parallelomap" type="aamap" version="0.0.1" author="Omahan" category="Fortress/sumo/whatever"

For playing your map in Local, you must save your Map in your resource folder.

Code: Select all

 Program Files
               |-Armagetron Advanced
                     |-Resource
              

Create a new Folder, in that Case, called "Omahan". Creat that Folder another Folder which will be the name of the category.

So far, we got:

Code: Select all

 Program Files
               |-Armagetron Advanced
                     |-Resource
                           |-Omahan
                                |-category
              

In that Folder you can save your Map.

Note: If you have written as version="0.0.1" it must be exactly like that in the Map Name. I will take

Code: Select all

<Resource name="Parallelomap" type="aamap" version="0.0.1" author="Omahan" category="Fortress"

as Resource Line. The Map name must be

Code: Select all

Parallelomap-0.0.1.aamap.xml

then.

If everything is done, it must look like this:

Code: Select all

 Program Files
               |-Armagetron Advanced
                     |-Resource
                           |-Omahan
                                |-Fortress
                                   Parallelomap-0.0.1.aamap.xml
              

To play this Map now, type in Console (^ as default)

Code: Select all

MAP_FILE Omahan/Fortress/Parallelomap-0.0.1.aamap.xml

Of course you can change the Names and Versions and everything however you want, but don't forget to rename then the Folder's Name/Map's Name as well!

I hope that helped, and have Fun on these Forums!

This singular line seems to be ok.
Maybe you could post the hole map.


@Rozer:
it doesnt matter wheter you use "1" or "0.0.1".

[omahan]

Okay theroze, i did all that.

My Resource tag now looks like this:

Code: Select all

<Resource name="Parallelomap" type="aamap" version="0.0.1" author="Omahan" category="polygon">

The filepath is

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Armagetron Advanced\resource\Omahan\polygon\Parallelomap-0.0.1.aamap.xml

But now im getting an error that says:

ERROR: Absolute filename, the server is trying to overwrite system files

wtf is wrong now?

[AI-team]

What does

Code: Select all

MAP_FILE

look like?

it should be

Code: Select all

MAP_FILE Omahan/polygon/Parallelomap-0.0.1.aamap.xml

[omahan]

Yeah, thats what i typed, AI

[AI-team]

Hm are you sure you used "/" and not "\"?
Even though I'm not sure whether that makes a difference

[omahan]

I've tried both / and \. It doesn't make any difference.
