Re: Just started, what next

>> Is there a simple way to line up a new map (in SBX) with an existing one? Unfortunately not, one can only drag a corner of the display up or down or sideways.

Re: Making custom ground textures

It's amazing what detail can be obtained using Background compiles. I combined all of the .inf files to produce a single bgl. These are zoomed in views in TmfViewer, one from the USA and one from Europe, http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/105/53259425.jpg http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6897/3678...

Re: Compile map fails

Hi Dick, You need to click the "Window" button to bring up the enlarged image for a screenshot in gmaps. Yes, I did bring up the large window before saving. Did you check your image when you placed it in SBuilderX? Was it blue? Dick Yes, it looked fine in SBuilderX, see the second screenshot above. ...

Compile map fails

I was able to save a map and add it to my project, however, when compiled it produced only a blue rectangle.

Any ideas where I went wrong?

Re: Start Up Error

Try updating DirectX

The Annotator problem is probably because you don't have the default.xml in the same folder as Annotator.exe.

Re: Add map from disk

That worked beautifully. I needed to write a program to create the txt file from the inf, and the Add Map works automatically. All I needed to do was to ensure that the polygon lay just inside the watermask bmp.

Re: Add map from disk

Thank you Luis, the key was "But the East will be = West + NCols * XDim". I hadn't realised that XDim was per column.

I can now create much more accurate polys.

Add map from disk

I have a 4096x4096 bmp which was used by resample to create phototextures so I thought it would be ideal to use as a map to trace hydro polys. How do I calibrate it in SBuilderX given the information from the resample .inf file? [Source1] Type = BMP SourceDir = "." SourceFile = "16_000009.bmp" Layer...

Re: Can not display maps

It's OK. I moved TileServer.DLL to the root folder and SBuilderX now starts.

Re: Can not display maps

Thank you Luis, I did recover the project by exporting the bln then creating a new project. I have now installed X313 and it started correctly. However, having applied all of the updates, it will not start: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2626/tileserver.jpg TileServer.DLL dated 28th May is in the ...

Can not display maps

I attempted to create a map from background, but at the end, it displayed "Can not display maps! Map View was turned off!" Reloading the project and attempting to select "Display maps" also gives this error: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3519/displaymaps.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7...
