A search for filename.xml doesn't reveal it's location? Or do you know where it is in explorer but can't get the game to open it?

i know exactly where it is
but the game or resource repository will not upload it
the error on the resource repository says:
"Demon_Clover-1.aamap.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity map-0.2.8_beta3.dtd"
TYPE Resource SYSTEM "map-0.2.8_beta3.dtd"
Demon_Clover-1.aamap.xml:3: validity error : Validation failed: no DTD found !"

open the square map, and find all the .dtd stuff in it, and replace the ones in your map with the ones from the square map

At the top of the map file find the line that says:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "map-0.2.8_beta3.dtd">
And change it to:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "AATeam/map-0.2.8.0.dtd">
That's armabell for you ;)

that should do it, doh.
i always find it easier to get maps to the right place by getting some sort of webserver (*ahem*-apache), and changing RESOURCE_REPOSITORY_SERVER to http://localhost/resource/
place working maps in your htdocs/resource/ folder in the webserver
