I'm not sure I under stand then, what isn't working? Can you get some screen shots maybe?

One last question with this bug. Is the issue that you are you getting it making maps with the -Beach theme all the time, or is it using other themes but they are using the wrong soild texture (so you get an odd mix of themes)?

Have just tried running Mapgen with compression set on the data folder, and removed my last fix. I do then get the no themes bug to happen, though this new one doesn't turn up.

I highly doubt it that would be the source of this issue. Just generate one map and you will get it too. Another thing to keep in mind, is that in the older versions it was correct.

You say that, but as far as I can tell that is why you were getting the no-themes issue when no one else was. I have run it, I run it constantly when working on it and I have no issues at all here, so anything that may explain what is different with your install would help.

Also, when Loading a map that wasn't generated by MapGEN and saving it with colors set, it (the program) will crash immediately.

Ah... somehow that doesn't surprise me. Will take a look.

It's all fine here... do you have some crazy settings on that harddrive? like compression or something? I will have a look but I may need to send you another logging build if I cant find anything.

Hmm, I havent noticed anything here. Is that using the wormkit module or in the app, and if in the app is it when using random theme or even when picking one yourself?

Forts: Is that because people don't play forts any more, or because mapgen forts arent good enough? I am guessing its a combination of both.

Boomrace: There are issues with this. Creating a race is difficult. Really, really difficult. But the real problem is that proving it to be completable is impossible. If i was to try it, about the only way it would work would be by combining known completable takes together, which doesn't sound very fun to me. Somewhat depends on the number of tiles available.

Yeah, I had had some similar ideas for forts a while back.
Do people use them? If so I will move it up the priority list a little.

Right, I have spotted something that might be causing it, so have uploaded a new version now for you to try.

7Zipped EXE Only : http://www.wormscc.co.uk/download/mapgen/MapGen0811-EXE.7z
Full Installer  : http://www.wormscc.co.uk/download/mapgen/InstallMapGen0811.exe

Wow, ok, so it happily finds them and throws them away. I will see if there are any more checks I can do and get back to you. I may nee you to run another log with more details in it but will let you know.

Ok, I have made a quike a dirty version to output some stuff to a log file.

Copy it into your MapGen folder and run it. Once it has run you can just close it again, then head over to your %APPDATA%\MapGen folder and you should find "debug.log".

If you can get that to me it may shed some light, or tell me where I need to add more debugging for anoher go!

Well, yes, when running the program itself it should open an error dialog with an error code in it. I will do a version with logging in the mean time which will hopefully point out something (?!)

It should just popup on starting the game if it failed to read any themes. If you definitely have it running latest and its not showing up I may have to make a build that logs everything to see where it is going wrong. Are you able to get on #worms?

I always upload the version numbered file too, but updating all the links is a pain so I have started using the unversioned one for the permanent links. Your right though, I will post the versioned link in the thread from now on and put the number somewhere in the installer text so your at least not guessing when you install it.

Right, I have re-uploaded a new version of 0.8.1 (if you downloaded it before, get it again). This one fixes an issue introduced in 0.8.1 when there were no themes, but also outputs any errors found while reading the themes to a dialog box. Let me know if it appears, and what error code it gives you.
