Yes, that's what you get with an older Java version. Try "java -version" on the command-line. It should print something like:
<br>java version "1.5.0_04"<br>Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)<br>Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)<br>

| Very nice program! It works great for me.
I think the Starting Area on the right side (B?) of Mithral Mines may be incorrect, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
Please do continue development, as this is something I'd definitely use. I can't wait for the rest of the maps.
Thanx much, Mark | | Rhane "The focus is sharp in the city..." Have/Want List Reference thread Avatar Thread

You're welcome to contribute maps. The .map files are simple text files, and the syntax is hopefully obvious (though I'll write some docs eventually).

| Forgot to mentioned this:
the programm will be freely available once it's done, most likely including source.

| Hey, this thing is pretty slick. Perhaps we could work together on collaborating some data storage for the maps? I am writing a MiniTracker, and i would put info into the data that would make it readable by your LOS app. I store the data online and can show you how to pull the data down for new maps as the list is updated ... shoot me an email if interested. | | | |

| Now this is the kind of stuff that will eventually make me buy a cheap laptop to play minis & D&D...
Good job, and keep it coming! This could be incredibly useful in tourneys. | | Champion of the Phoenix! "By the leaking snot of Skurmsh[!]" - Teflon Jeff | |

I already got the mushroom cavern and will likely get all official maps from Jai in XML-format. So there's no need for anyone else to work on the official maps.
Might be a few days before I can get new maps into the distribution - I don't have too much time to spend on this right now.
Again, thanks for all the comments and encouragement! | | Map Explorer - Uniques gallery | |

| Any chance on sharing the source code for it?
One addition that would be useful is the cover/not cover test, where you could specify an active creature and target creature and have it resolve hide/cover and all.
This sort of a program is a lot more practical now that we are going towards fixed maps, the interface for getting it to work with tiles would have been a nightmare. | | The Miniatures War College -- Advenio paratus. Egressus melior paratus. | |

Source code will definitely be released once its in a reasonably stable state. At the moment, I rewrite the whole program about once a week [)]

Cover is on my TO-DO list. Could you specify "all" a bit further?
Another thing I'd like to add is movement ranges. (depending on base size, speed, movement type - teleporters will be interesting).

Not at all - choose from a list of terrain tiles and place them on the battle map using mouse and/or cursor keys. I already had a prototype of this running, but switched to maps to keep things as simple as possible.
