- - [Beta] MapperLive v0.6.0 - Real Time Mapping, Multi-Language Support (https://www.eq2interface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12958)

Just wanted to say I used this to map out the Emperor's Athenaeum map.

Used it on Win7 while EQ2 was actively running. The map would not auto-update, as said above.
If I went an opened the log file phsyically in notepad, it would cause the Mapper to update, but my simpler work around was to just uncheck "Auto parse" and then re-check it to update my progress.

It crashed on me a few times, usually after setting a new layer. Not sure why, Win7 is kind of annoying when things crash as it has that window saying "Attempting to find solution" and I always hit cancel before I can copy over any crash details.
Not really a big issue cause all I had to do was re-open and I was back where I was, cause the log file is the where the good stuff is :P

Thanks for the work you've done :D

Btw, Inkscape crashed on me once or twice. The first time I lost an hour's work :( I learned to save often, as I have with other apps.

I took another look at my code this weekend and I appear to have coded myself into a corner. I think I have fixes for the issues you're seeing, as well as implementing some of the requested features. I just need to dig myself out of a code hole before I can release those fixes to you.

I just don't understand how to write multi-threaded code in .NET. Curse you, "delegates"!

oh the self corning.. yea I hate it myself.. I tell me self ever time I do it I'll always thing things through before instead of just going on the fly but yea , I've said that many times.. lol

Self... corning?

That just sounds wrong. ;)

But yeah I've coded myself into a corner as well. It usually happens when I start out with a relatively simple idea and take shortcuts... but then later want to add a more complex feature that requires me to not have taken those shortcuts and then I end up rewriting everything.

That is it exactly.

I've already done a major rewrite of my map data structures. The problem is my layers panels. The way I have them constructed they need to be updated by the auto-parse thread, which is separate from the main form thread. I had it working for a while, but when I was doing some rewrites I didn't test it as thoroughly as I ought to have, now it doesn't work for some cases of auto-parse. I realize I'm going to have to basically rewrite the whole class and I'm just not looking forward to it.

None the less, I shall attempt to carry on. I want to give a world class tool to support all you mappers.

It's funniest when you read the entire post out of context. :D

Still laughing... :)

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.



For example:



<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>



When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

win7, mapperlive 0.6.0, crashed right after "/em mapgroup 2." line (well, I kinda closed and reopened log to help ML catch up)

current workaround is to close ML before switching mapgroups, draw some lines and load ML again.

Oh, and can I suggest? Remove drop-down menus and add some buttons like 'open file' next to file location field; make settings for default width and color; when you export .jpg image, use same folder and same name as for .svg
