---The Final Forge period has concluded for the Texan Wars Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for live play (barring any Lack vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

Quenched means that ship has sailed. This type of input would've been helpful and welcomed sometime during the 6 months the map was in development.

This file isn't text based. It's some wierd MS Word xml.

I think the bottom one is the correct one. Though, RG would have to confirm that.

There were 3 problems...

a) <component> tags are now replaced with <territory> tags!

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>njfnj</name>
  <bonus>3</bonus>
  <components>
    <component>WRONG</component>
  </components>
<continent>

Like so

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>njfnj</name>
  <bonus>3</bonus>
  <components>
    <territory>CORRECT</territory>
  </components>
<continent>

b) <continent> blocks were in the wrong place...

The file needs to be in the following order...

Code: Select all

    <map>
      <size etc/>
      <minreinforcements/>
      <reinforcements/>
      <positions/>
      <objectives/>
      <continents/>
      <territories/>
    </map>

c) Leaky had a typo in (should've been leakey)

So this is the fixed XML...

http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/1/19/1707364/texanwars.xml

Which provides the following Results...

Warning: Territory Leakey has border Cannon 3, but not vice versa

Warning: Territory Zapata has border Cannon 5, but not vice versa

Warning: Territory Cannon 1 has border El Paso, but not vice versa

Warning: Territory Cannon 3 has border Del Rio, but not vice versa

Warning: Territory Cannon 4 has border Eagle Pass, but not vice versa

Warning: Territory Cannon 5 has border Brownsville, but not vice versa

Summary: 0 errors and 6 warnings detected in 5-14-08 code ttw.txt (13 continents, 57 territories)

after you write hundreds or thousands of line of code it is fairly common to go over the same mistake a few times and not notice it. that's why it is better to have as many people checking it as possible.

Notepad and Textpad both have CTRL G functions that allow you to type in a line number.
