startupmap

[cydus21]

Hi all,

for those still having trouble with the startup map, the name of the map folder is CASE sensitive. not sure if anyone found this out yet. but yeah..

and @Deniska if u could make the config file GUI in mapthis! tat would be great! LOL

[sin22eze]

do you neeed to put the underscore as well??
i have folder _Victoria.Australia

will it be wrtitten like this...
startupmap:_Victoria.Australia or Victoria.Australia?

i've tried both ways, and i still cant get it to startup??

[cydus21]

yes u need a _

try to omit the . dunnon wats the logic in reading the config file.. i named mine _MELBOURNE and ONLY use mapthis! to change ur config file. do not use windows notepad but technically WORDpad should work thou.

[sin22eze]

thanks... i found out that by using all small caps it works....

_victoria

worked..... but when i rename the folder back to
_Victoria... and renamed it in the config file it didnt work again... so i think it folders needs to be in small caps for some reason.. well, at least it works now \

cheers

I thought I made it case insensitive way back, but I'll double check...
and yes, most windows editors tend to add "invisible" line breaks codes (^M ^R) which screw up string comparison in "C" code... so just use delete to remove trailing white space with config screen's editor.

So how do i make it autostart?? I cant get it to work. I know i got it to work before with the psp-290 and map this 0.4.99. But now im on mapthis 0.5.01 and have the holux 240. I tried adding this map- _Fort Wayne, Indiana. Am i typeing it wrong?? Can someone show me how to type this?
Thanks

ur startupmap name in config file has to match the folder name u r tryin to open. try to omit special characters like , or a space for ur case. make it simple and case sensitive.

[zach5555]

i still cant get it to work, can you please give me some examples??? The maps name is _Fort Wayne, Indiana.
I have tried just naming it _fort but that doesn't seem to work. Can you please type it how its supposed to be and i can just copy and paste it onto mine???
Thanks

[cydus21]

_fort is fine..

to make sure everything is working, name it _FORT (with caps) and only use mapthis! to edit the config file.. unless u r using unix. and make sure ur FOLDER name and config file matches.

eg.
if FOLDER NAME is _FORT
in config file: STARTUPMAP=_FORT

if in any case u have already use notepad to edit it, open it with WORDPAD instead. u will see extra line breaks. remove them and u shld be fine.

Same here. I've tried all lower case, using mapthis only to edit, and nothing. It doesn't autostart.

_losangeles, is my map folder.
