I generated an area and saved the project. Now when I try to go back and open it I get the follow errors:

Climate #0 ('Temperate') in project file was not found in the application climate list.

Climate #1 ('Temperate (coastal)') in project file was not found in the application climate list.

Here is a copy of the Error Log:

Code: Select all

 - could not get formats list

CL3DTApp::SaveFormatsIni error
 - Call to L3DTxml_WriteFIle failed

CMapGroup::LoadProjectFile error

I could use a little help here!

Hi Ulord,

At first glance it looks like the working directory of L3DT is all messed up. It appears to be starting in 'C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\Desktop\Haven Maps', and not 'C:\Program Files\Bundysoft\L3DT [version]', where it was presumably installed. How are you starting the executable? (desktop link / menu link / double-clicking on the executable in Explorer) It could be I've botched the path in one of those links. If it is a fault with those links, I'll upload an updated installer as soon as possible. In any case, starting L3DT by double clicking on the L3DT.exe file in Explorer should always work.

It would help in debugging if you could send me a copy of the 'debug.dat' file from the L3DT installation path (to aaron@bundysoft.com).

Best regards,
Aaron.

Ok - I had set up L3DT to be the default program for tile types *.proj and I was trying to open it by double clicking my project file. When I start L3DT via the desktop icon and then open the project, it works just fine. Therefore, it was my fault. Thanks.

Hi Jim,

Oops, I kind of forgot about opening files that way. The latest version (v2.4b RC 1.1) can open files like this, or by drag-n-drop on L3DT, and the installer (optionally) associates '.proj', '.mmf', '.hff', '.ter', and '.bt' with L3DT. You can run batch files this way too (they're '.run' and '.def.xml').

Best regards,
Aaron.
