With the default icons I could not duplicate, but possibly there is something special about your icons. Could you please upload them? (Don't want to download hundreds of mbs of stuff just for those icons)
 
Jamie, i have repeated the step 4 but it still happens :(

Are you using the latest beta version?

Also, is GamePath in settings.txt set correctly?
Click to expand...

Yes i'm using the latest version or at least the one you had published the same that i posted the image.

This is how my settings.txt look like:

Code: 
GamePath= C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Doomsday\exported maps
MaxProvinceNumber=2608
Lightmap1Width=936
Lightmap1Height=360
NumLightmaps=4
LightmapOffsetWidth=4
IdsAreNewWay=true

I have it in "exported maps" because that's the folder where i have both mapviewer and mapmaler.

GamePath should point to the location of hoi2.exe, in this case it would be C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Doomsday

When you open MapMaker, what does it say its version number is (the info is somewhere on top)?



ADukes: I never noticed that the images were different sizes, not just 32x32 :wacko:

Now a fix is easy

EDIT: Think it is fixed

-ObjectEditor added
-MapExtractor added

MapViewer v6.2

MapMaker v2.2
-Changed recommended MAXPROVINCE number for HoI to 2608, as that is the correct one.

The file seems to be taken off, atleast the link above and the one on first page is returning a file is not there anymore error message, from download site.
 
Indeed, now i could download it aswell without problems.

Perhaps Mediafire had taken it momentarily off for scrutiny or something when i tried lasttime.

excellent work you and also Adukes has done with this. thumps up.

What went wrong Jamie?
None of the extracted png files are 8bpp/indexed, but mapmaker seems to require it.
Log file is empty.
Code: 
MapMaker v2.1.3.0

What do you want to do now?
0) Exit
1) Make initial radish files
2) Make other radish files
3) Make adjacent.tbl
4) Make index.tbl and tiles.bmp
5) Make the lightmaps
6) Make boundbox.tbl

Other options:
7) Rebuild a certain radish file
8) Rebuild a certain radish file level

Enter the number of the choice that you want

Click to expand...
Oh, yes.

Code: 
Missing block at (0, 0)
...
Missing block at (935, 359)
I only extracted a single 220x150 (IIRC) block of map starting from the offset (648,64) and edited that. Is that what's causing the problem?

Yes

Extract the whole map, and only edit what you need

Also make sure that images.txt is correct

Do you mean my reported problem? If so, it still happens.

EDIT: Ah okay, I see there was a problem with MapExtractor.exe, so I must extract the files again.
The new colorscale files look strange; probably a new bug.
