xml questions

i asked it in the gulf thread though i am not sure if people go there

so are these characters invalid cause the check tool says they are

è é î

and what does this mean?

Code: Select all

line 529: </map> - Opening and ending tag mismatch: components line 83 and map

line 529: </map> - Premature end of data in tag continent line 80

line 529: </map> - Premature end of data in tag map line 2

you may need to insert the unicode entity references for these characters, because I've found that the straight characters mess with BoB.

(listen to me, I sound like I know what I'm talking about!)

here's a good source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XM ... references

I can't help you on the other errors.

It sounds like you have a mis-placed ending tag, or maybe that's just an error caused by it being unable to read those characters.

I think I know what the problem is if I found the current XML for the map.
From one I found in the thread, you forgot to put the "end components" and "end continent" tags on the last continent:

Code: Select all

<continent>
<name>Duplessis</name>
<bonus>2</bonus>
<components>
<territory>Gaspésie</territory>
<territory>Anticosti</territory>
<territory>Duplessis</territory>
<territory>Port Cartier</territory>

RIGHT HERE YOU NEED:
</components>
</continent>

<territory>
<name>Nunavik</name>
<borders>
<border>Baie-James</border>
<border>Manicouagan</border>
<border>Labrador City</border>
<border>Nunatsiavut</border>

Check if thats the problem.

I put the following line into the very top of the xml file for Das Schloß and everything works OK.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

See if that helps.

I think theres someway with the Jota Map Assistance, but I'm not sure. It has an option to do them both at the same time. But if it does, it probably won't be perfectly centered.

yea there is whith the jota map assistant. i think that you basically choose the option that is both if im correct. That way when you get the coordinates for one of them, u get the coordinates for both of them

[Lone.prophet]

yeah i know about that though it wasnt really what i meant cause i think you still have to click

[bryguy]

yeah i know about that though it wasnt really what i meant cause i think you still have to click

if im correct, you just select that option, then click (for on the large or small map) where you want the coordinates, and then it gives them to you for both the large and small

[Lone.prophet]

yeah but i got the large coordinates i just needed to scale them to small

[lanyards]

I don't think you can once you already did one separately. Just do the small ones by themselves, it doesn't take that long.
