Adaption file questions

WilleK10

Hello, I have a few questions about making custom airports.

In which directory do I find Mapper.exe, and how can it help me?
When I open my FIR it always crashes when loading at "Loading Background Flight Templates". Where is the issue then?
Are the sound files a must, or can I skip them?
How do I make the compiled HTML file with the sector guides?

After answering these questions, can we keep it open so I can post other questions that might come up here?

WilleK10 This has been forwarded and we will try to get an answer as soon as possible.

How's it going?

Have you gotten an answer yet? I'm kinda still in the development because if this. Especially the "loading background flights" thing.

Graham

WilleK10 I'll see if we can come up with anything but ultimately, the Adaptation Guide is the overarching point of reference. I hazard that if you're getting load errors at startup, there could be a fault with the text format in one or more of your files. The system is very pedantic about getting commas and spaces and tabs and the such like in the right place.

Okay thank you. I'll look through to see what is the error. As it stops at "Loading background flights", do you think that file is the issue?

I'd start with the line with squawk 1623. I reckon that will have breeched the character limit.

Remove completely, see if it runs.
Hopefully so. Then add that plan back in with 1 set of coordinates removed...maybe two.

I don't have the exact character limit for that file to hand...so trial & error as above is the best bet for now.

Many thanks, works like a charm!

Is there anyway to place a certain map above other?
I want to place my map Map_M2.ini all the way back now, behind for example the one with TMA borders.
(Image doesnt seem to work, Map_M2.ini contains the fill colour for the sector that you cover (in this case sector M2), and should therefore be all the way back).
