MapMaker (for RMXP)

[DerVVulfman]

This is the error I get when I try to generate a map preview.
I've also tried clearing the cache (through the ESC menu) but it results in the same error and blank generated map file.

Your issue is related to this:

There was a bit of confusion with version 5, and partly my fault.  Within the .ini file for Mapmaker, you may turn on/off different features of a map with simple true/false settings.  However, that is now how one turns the tiles (ergo the drawn map) on or off.  Sadly, the tile setting was indeed set to true , and that was a goof on my part.

Actually, you use settings of 0 to 4 to handle the tiles.   A setting of 0 turns the all the tiles off.  A setting of 1 turns on the ground layer. A setting of 2 turns on the lower layer, a setting of 3 turns on the upper layer, and a setting of 4 turns on all three layers simultaneously.

I just checked the download.  For some reason, the corrected Ini file and updated help file was not in the package. I don't know WHY the update did not take, but...   I just re-uploaded the fixed version... fixed insofar as just fixing the INI file and update the text file.

From the INI file:

Wrong                 Correct
start_tilesize=32     start_tilesize=32
pan_on=false          pan_on=false
til_on=true           til_on=4
cha_on=false          cha_on=false
fog_on=false          fog_on=false
maninstr_on=false     maninstr_on=false

But then again, hit the [ESC] button when you have the menu up, and you can adjust values that way.
