Map size unstable.

Post by Behemoth » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:04 pm

Infrequent but very annoying problem. When I use the 'Load trace image' tool and select an image that's exactly the same size as the map the dimensions change.

'<xml>
<luxboard>
<version>1.0</version>
<width>884</width>
<height>600</height>'

I load a file 884 by 600 pixels and I get this.

'<xml>
<luxboard>
<version>1.0</version>
<width>884</width>
<height>615</height>'

have you traced any countries yet?
if so, maybe one of them extends below the 600 height?

Just a thought

Yes the polygons were already in place. I'm 99% sure nothing extends beyond the borders but I will double check that. I made the polygons in AI, saved as an svg and pasted the coordinates into a fresh .luxb file. I set-up the .luxb file with the same dimensions as my overground (the overground was already finished. This is the file I'm trying to load as a trace image which I also used to build the polygons in AI)

I actually had the trace file and the polygons match up at one point but only briefly. The dimensions shifted of their own accord and continue to each time I load the trace image, adding 15 pixels either horizontally or vertically.

'<width>899</width>
<height>600</height>'

or

'<width>884</width>
<height>615</height>'

Not sure what that can be.

Possibly you might have left a bracket <> out somewhere when you copy pasted the coordinates in the luxb file.

It would be a pain, but maybe try doing cop/pasting them from scratch.
Trying to find the problem there (if there is one) can be more time consuming than start from scratch entering the numbers in the file again.
