I specifically mean
How do I upload a XML file so I can test it with the XML Tester thing

[iancanton]

sailor, u're better off waiting till unit has decided which region will always start neutral and which start position regions will be paired with each other.

Great, what else needs done so we can get this finished?

since there are 3 3-region bonuses and 3 4-region bonuses, the chance of the first player starting with a bonus of at least +2 in a 1v1 game approaches 15%, which is too high for comfort.

our map actually does not meet the current standards for the gameplay stamp because of this. according to the opening post, there are 34 regions, which means all games will start with at least 1 neutral. the easiest fix to the map, without touching the graphics, is to have fixed starting neutrals on 1 region within only 1 of the 3-region bonus zones, such as labrador city or gros morne (maybe not moncton because they block too much there); 3 sets of 2 start positions, each consisting of 1 region in both of the 3-region bonus zones that do not have fixed starting neutrals, are also needed (see holy roman empire for how to do this).

Set 2 is saint john withGros Morne
Set 3 is moncton with St Johns

Alright I corrected the pairs, everyone ok with these?

[oaktown]

those pairs look good to me, and coding three pairs of two keeps the starting # of territories to 11 in 1v1 and 3p games. Seems like a good solution to the problem.

Now if someone will tell me how to host an XML file we can be on the way

[Unit_2]

Ask someone who does XML alot, such as Pomoa.

I host using FileDen... it's full of annoying ads but it's free and it does the job.

I'm sorry I am acting like a failure but the site never sent me the email activation but won't let me rejoin.
Any other sites?

[sully800]

This is my preferred site. I had everything I needed up and running in a matter of minutes when I tried ripway.

[iancanton]

have the starting neutrals and start positions been omitted from the xml file?

Staring Neutrals:
Labrador City

Starting Positions:
Set 1 is fredericton with GF Windsor
Set 2 is saint john withGros Morne
Set 3 is moncton with St Johns

also check the spellings for consistency, since i can see Tles de la Madeleine and Îles de la Madeleine, as well as both Quebec and Québec. the stated dimensions of the small map (600 350) are not roughly in proportion to those of the large map (800 600).

Just wondering if this map died again... seemed very close to Beta about a month ago...

[Unit_2]

As soon as Sailor gets back here, it will be done.

[sailorseal]

I'm right here

We are all here!
So guys, we can try to finish this neverending map...
If these are the correct images and xml , there are few things to fix.

[bigimg]http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/ron_parodi/stlaurent02small.jpg[/bigimg]


http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/11/14/2187148/Golfe.xml

large image is 720x510 px
Small image is 630x448 px

if you guys try to scale the big images (locking proportion) the small will be 630x446px (only 2px too high )
Then, looking to the xml file you have to fix dimensions

Code: Select all

<map>
<title>Golfe du St-Laurent</title>
<smallwidth>600</smallwidth>
<smallheight>350</smallheight>
<largewidth>800</largewidth>
<largeheight>600</largeheight>
<filetype>jpeg</filetype>

there are some Sept-Rivieres and some Sept-Rivières. Typo ?
Finally coordinates to fix.
When the xml is ready, check it with this tool --> http://www.conquerclub.com/mapmaker/index.php, if valid,you have to read here:http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=50034.
