I am making my first map. I have worked through all the steps of the tutorial and have made it to the final section. I double clicked transcode file, but I can't tell if cgpsmapper is running or not. It does not seem to be running. The transcode log shows that it started compiling and then completed a fraction of a second later and I do not see any .img files. Perhaps it is still working, but how can I know? Thank you, Geordie
What do you get when you run process.bat all by itself? That's the one that's actually calling cgpsmapper, but without a PATH, your MP file and cgpsmapper will both need to be in the same folder. cgpsmapper should show up in a CMD line blue window. Although since TransCode.bat calls cgpsmapper.bat you may just see the Transcode window. Depending how big the map is the windows should stay open for a while.
My unofficial batch file follows. You'll need to edit the path to suit your installation
path=c:\program files\cgpsmapper;%path%
for %%i in (*.mp) do cgpsmapper ac %%i
pause
This will compile all MP files in a folder, and will keep the command window open after the compile has run, until you hit the return key.
Thank you for the help. I realized that my .mp file name had a space in it and not an underscore. Therefor cgpsmapper would no read the file. Once I changed the name it worked perfectly. Thanks
