Re: Update

All the pages have ancient dates up top, and I've been harping at this for a year now in emails, but it's never acknowledged or fixed.
Just take the date off entirely, and put an update date on the files!

Re: Masks

Yup, it was my mask file. I used the one you put in the ztb in my other boxes and it worked, though I don't get why. The only real difference I saw was yours didn't have transparency when I loaded it in Paint Shop Pro. Anyway, I've been retro fitting all my boxes with masks, and fixing the size item...

Re: Masks

Pick any Last Full Measure box from the Files section here - I haven't managed to get it to work with any of them

Re: Masks

Sorry, that typo's from me cobbling together code to post here, the working gamebox doesn't have the mask code in it currently

Re: Masks

Yup. I get no errors, the counters show up, but you can't grab any, the whole screen moves like the maps/charts. I have marker counters and unit counters and tried only masking the markers - no go. Only the units, same deal. I used masks in my 1776 ZT box that work. Here's the gamebox code: <counter...

Re: JPG, PNG, and GIF Maps

I've been playing with the problem a bit. Trying JPGs with less compression was yielding way too much artifacting, especially around text (typical of JPGs) but reducing the PNG to 32k colors dropped the size and didn't harm the quality since it was actually using 5k colors. Anyway, I think PNG will ...

JPG, PNG, and GIF Maps

I know GIFs are not recommended, but I have found that the monster-game scale maps in my My Last Full Measure series of games tend to give me Out of Memory crashes unless I use GIF image maps. I don't use GIFs for anything but maps, but I'd rather not have to use them at all. The problem is that the...

Masks

I haven't used masks in my ZunTzu boxes until I did 1776. It worked great and really enhanced to look of the counters against the map I worked very hard on. Now I'm working on a new entry for my Last Full Measure series and the masks will not function. I get no errors, have checked and rechecked the...

Try changing counters from board to tab:

<layout tab="Counters" />

Typically the error message cites line and character numbers when the problem is in the script; such as in line 40, position 14, etc etc
Maybe it's the file format of your images it's having trouble with?
