loads of maps are NOT DISPLAYED!!

[HighVoltage]

seen the PM

well, the desktop computer runs XP, yet they don't show up (the original maps do as well as the other bunch of user-created maps that also are visible on my Vista RT3)

[Hawk]

OK! I think I see the problem.

I just downloaded Mung Hjung and it wouldn't show in my 1.05 install, so I moved it to my 1.06 install and it showed fine.

Aside from the creator not mentioning that 1.06 is required, I believe at the time I added that map I was still working with one install of RT3, namely the 1.06 version. Consequently any map would show up.
Since then I've changed that. I now have 3 installs; 1.05, 1.06, and TM. When someone sends me a map I move the gmp to the 1.05 install. If it doesn't show I then move it to the 1.06 install (that is if the creator doesn't specify). That way I know which version it runs in.

Interestingly enough, it was never mentioned in this thread; viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1026

The problem now is, going through the whole archive and updating the maps. Time is not on my side at the moment.

[Hawk]

If you can confirm whether MungHjung works in the 1.06 install you have or not, I'll start looking at the other maps you mentioned in previous posts.

BTW! You mentioned Somewhere in an earlier post and it says 1.06 is required.

aaahh, that explains a lot!!
because I haven't tested the rest of the few maps that still don't work on the 1.06 install yet!

so this should solve the problem for quite a few maps!
but I'm not sure about the rest of the maps currently not in the download archive...there are still a few maps left which definately were made with 1.05 (or lower)...file dates often say 2004, 2005 and that's long before 1.06 came out!
Anyway, don't dig into this that much - I'll check all maps again as soon as I have installed the 1.06 on the XP version

BTW! You mentioned Somewhere in an earlier post and it says 1.06 is required.

yeah, my mistake, I moved it to the 1.06 map folder when I noticed it yesterday!


BTW: currently uploading

OK! I'll wait to hear back from you on this before I do anything else.

BTW: currently uploading

I'll give it a little while and check the upload.

[Hawk]

I got the file downloaded.
Unfortunately, the read me for Tropica Islands states:

DISCLAIMER:
you may NOT redistribute this any where! or sell it!

So I guess I won't be adding that to the archive.

[HighVoltage]

yeah, saw this too, but I thought I send it to you, personally

[HighVoltage]

OK, finally finished on the maps:
Installed the 1.06 patch on the XP installatio and it worked fine!

Hawk, these maps that I've downloaded from your site recently seem to be 1.06:
-Impossible - Unmöglich (German Version only)
-Mung Hjung, as you said yourself
-OHIND (Ohio & Indiana Base Map)
-Skandinavien (German Version of Scandinavia)
-South West USA (Base Map)
Additionally, I also downloaded a map from The Terminal forum recently, a Gwizz' Base Map "6 Countries in South America" which also seems to require the 1.06 version (checked back in the editor, it has the customs house/tollhouse activated, and probably more - but you might as well ask Gwizz himself, but I think it was intended... Just wondered because there was nothing mentioned from the 1.06 version!)


However, following maps STILL DON'T WORK, and since I tested them with the 1.06 patch, these are the ones that were damaged (?) I don't know how or when, and are not displayed in any of the map browser windows.
-American Empire (English + German versions)
-Berlin City
-Big New York City (V2)
-Millefeuille
-North Wales
-Orient Express Warna
-Scrimshaw
-Spanien und Portugal (Spain and Portugal)
-Straße von Gibraltar (Gibraltar Straits German version)
-Tasmania
-Vilopnik & Erkatan
-Vom Grand River zur Grey Coast (German version of Grand River & Grey Coast)
-Weidenthaler Kreisbahn V1/V2
-Zwischen Weser und Elbe

I've seen some of them either at the Terminal (where the Downloads are currently not working) and/or in one of your still-to-post lists - but no need to hurry, Hawk, I've got lots of other maps to play first (and in a few weeks nno time to do so, because University starts again!).
I'm fine if they are posted just SOMEday!

Now, and this is what I still don't understand, there are 4 more maps that won't work, BUT, and that's the difference to all the above maps, I found a copy of them on the desktop PC and have taken them from there (just like many others which replaced the obviously damaged ones on my notebook):
-Moorexpress
-Deutsch Süd-West Afrika
-Schweiz 1950
-Schweiz 2000

[Hawk]

Thanks for the list. I'll get those archives updated shortly. Hopefully today as I have 3 new maps and a new reskin to add so I'll be in the html editor anyway.
I'll also test them on my system to see if it's your system or the maps.

[Hawk]

Yep! You're right. These maps do require the 1.06 patch, but the Gwizz map isn't in the archive here.
I'll get these updated today.

-Impossible - Unmöglich (German Version only)
-Mung Hjung, as you said yourself
-OHIND (Ohio & Indiana Base Map)
-Skandinavien (German Version of Scandinavia)
-South West USA (Base Map)

Maybe Gwizz will see this next time he stops by. Matter of fact, I'll send him a PM and point him to this post.

Additionally, I also downloaded a map from The Terminal forum recently, a Gwizz' Base Map "6 Countries in South America" which also seems to require the 1.06 version (checked back in the editor, it has the customs house/tollhouse activated, and probably more - but you might as well ask Gwizz himself, but I think it was intended...

[Hawk]

Got 'em updated. for all the help with them.

[Gwizz]

That is the map I made for EPH.

No events. It is just a base map to build on.
I did make a few change for my own use and it seemed to play well.
I may have used the 106. I don't remember.
I'll look in a few days, when I get home.

I've been looking at and riding RRs.
I found one today I have never heard of before.
Idaho Northern Pacific. It hauls rafter up river as well as passengers. I have a ton of stories I will add to the proper thread when I return.

no problem! you're welcome!

[HighVoltage]

OH JOY, OH JOY!
just found out that I still have the RT Archive DVD somewhere, where all the maps are on, so it should be easy now to replace the last few maps I think!

yep, ALL MAPS working now, finally, except one which wasn't included on the DVD (Big new York City V2...don't know where I got this one from, but I don't really care now )
