I made sure that pampa and lubbock are in the right spots now. And i figured out why the last fix didnt work....

... I switched the coords, then forgot that i had switched them and switched them back!

oh well, that should most definately work! (unless i made that mistake again.....)

well you haven't reposted your 'correct' version so there's no way for us to know it's correct.

Also, you took away all the - signs you say? When you open the XML from the webpage it has all sorts of extra stuff on there. So when you copy/paste it you'll get those - in the XML. So you didn't really 'fix' that problem. It's something that'll show up when you look at the XML on the site but isn't actually part of the XML.

No offense but you already posted one bad version and haven't posted your fixed one so I would just suggest they take mine.

yea idk what all i fixed, but they can use yours or mine. Like i said in a post earlier, i was tired. Also, i had like 10 different links on my desktop, so you should be glad you didnt get a link to something completely different, at least i got the picture to the large map there :mrgreen:

either way you can use yours or mine, they both should work fine

Not sure if I'm missing something from the map but uh...i can't fort from andrews to Pampas/Lubbock (whichever one it is-the one directly north).

read closely. The two territories are swapped on the map. So if you are in Andrews and the map is showing you have armies in lubbock but not pampa, you actually have no armies in lubbock. :lol:

i'm totally serious but reading that is funny as hell.

The territories of Pampa and Lubbock are switched in map ID's. I can't believe this wasn't picked up earlier. Please fix.

Thanks,

it WAS picked up earlier, almost as soon as the map was made live. We've been trying to fix it for a long time now.

Hi, please check out my game 2501596 and my comments at 2008-05-31 21:26:04 (my local time anyway

)

I tried to attack Pampa but ended up in Lubbock, has someone landed paratroopers to rearrange the signposts? :s I fear there's a few territory links that could do with a bit of updating. Cheers!

Seriously, does no one read the thread and notice that this issue has been mentioned a couple dozen times and that a fix is on the way???

by **t-o-m** on Sat May 31, 2008 4:35 pm

this is about the 20th time this has been mentioned - at least you came to the right place:)
the bug will be fixed soon

Where do I post to call an extermintor???????????

Anything dealing with a specific map, you put in the map's topic (it's in Final Forge).

Pampa and Lubbock are switched. it cost me the game

p.s.- i know it's been mentioned.

I have found a bug in it.
Basically, in game 2513402 (if i remember correctly), i tried to attack pampa from childress, but ended up conquering lubbock, even though it is through an impassable object. I defended lubbock as my border, but when people attacked lubbock from the indian territory, they conquered pampa - basically, something is wrong with it!

at the top of their XML. This is not necessary to my knowledge and is added when you view the XML with an XML editor. When you write the XML, <map> should always be at the start

Actually, we must have that line in every map xml file. In this case I had to add it back myself.

Thanks to all for your help in resolving these issues. I hope the next time it will be done better.

RG, thanks for all the work that went into this map. It's one of my favorites.

Hate to bring up a negative, but isn't that Longhorn emblem you're using the copyrighted mark that the University of Texas holds? They do aggressively protect their mark. Just FYI.

okay, cool.

thanks again for the effort. one of my very favorite maps, ESPECIALLY since the old classic and middle earth maps went poof!

What does the community think about changing the XML and coding Austin as a starting neutral? As it is now, it is included in the randomly allocated territories, and is dropped in a majority of games, causing an unnecessary advantage to the player who drops it.
