Loathing crashes on colormap import

eyceguy · Post by **eyceguy** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 1:24 pm

Hello again all! I've been trying to dabble in loathing/fear a bit just and have run into this error.
As the title says Loathing crashes when I make a new map and try to import a colormap.

First here are the programs I am using
Loathing 1.8
GIMP 2.8.10

I am saving the image as a 8-bit indexed bmp with 240 indicies. I have also tried 245 and 256 (which I know would cause graphical errors, but I tried it anyhow).

Somehow I feel this error is limited to GIMP because I tried exporting the cmap from gimble and then successfully imported it into a new map. So has anyone had good luck with using GIMP to make color maps?

btw here is the mythlog when loathing crashes

Can you zip up and attach to your reply the image you are trying to import into Loathing for me to examine?

eyceguy · Post by **eyceguy** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 5:15 pm

One color map, indexed to 240 by GIMP.
Also, a side note. I installed GIMP 2.4.7 and had the same error.

Obviously not pretty, I drew this up on paper and scanned it in.... mostly to test an idea.

*edit*
*Removed link cause I deleted the file now that the issue is resolved*

Your bitmap is RLE compressed; Loathing will only accept uncompressed files.

Pyro · Post by **Pyro** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 5:36 pm

Loathing does not crash for me when I try to import it. It does however give me an error and won't allow me to use it claiming Loathing only uses 8 bit images. I installed Gimp 2.8.10 and managed to figure it out. When you export it as a BMP, check the box "Do not write color space information" in Compatibility Options. That let me import the map into Loathing.

Odd, I've never had the RLE option checked.

I did as you said here, but now loathing gives me a new error in the log file and it still crashes

What OS are you on and are you sure you uploaded the same file? I was able to import it after I saved it with that option I mentioned.

Are you trying this with an empty local? Maybe some other tags in there are causing some issue. Rename your local if it isn't empty just to see if it changes anything.

Emptying the local folder did it! Thanks for the help!

I wonder if google drive is compressing your bitmap on upload, because there's no way loathing will import that file as it is after downloading.

Well it wasn't importing. What I'm curious about is what was in his old local folder that made Loathing crash. Maybe he was opening an existing map and trying to replace the color map rather than import it to a new mesh.

He says it worked (i.e., imported) now after emptying the local, but the file he posted should not import at all. It doesn't quite add up.

I should clarify (and probably bring to light another issue).
Upon deleting the local folder *and* checking the Dont Write Color Space it did work.

but I came across another issue which is provided similar problems.
the map name
When I created a new map, if I called it 'summonersmyth' it would crash upon importing the cmap (with or without colorspace option selected)
BUT
if I instead created a new map and called it 'summoners myth' it would work (again with the dont write color space option from above)

I can reproduce that issue. Interesting find. It turns out to be a collection tag conflict. Due to how Myth and the tools create the tag ID of a collection it can cause this issue.

Myth has a "summoner" collection for The Summoner unit. The tag ID is "summ". When you created a new mesh tag, it creates a matching collection tag with the same name and ID. So "summonersmyth" or any variation of "summ..." that has no space in the name will create the "summ" ID. So when you tried to import a color map, it conflicted with the collection tag already using that ID. These conflicts usually aren't an issue for most tag types as the tool will alter the ID to prevent conflicts. Loathing's way of making collection tags however is different as its based on matching mesh and collection tags.

I guess this error never got noticed due to the typical naming scheme of mesh tags containing numbers in front. That made them less likely to conflict with a default tag. If the map is a single player map and you want it to be playable without having to hold Shift to load it up, add 01 in front. There are other numbers if you prefer the text to be a different color: 101, 201, 301, etc. Even if your map is just one, adding a number couldn't hurt.
