Map switching problem

1- Did you use a file or the clipboard to create the map?
2- What is the map file size?
3- If you open a player instance of d20Pro and connect to your own game, does it load the map for you?

Note: the gray and black screen indicates the map is still downloading. If a player disconnects while a map is being sent to them and tries to reconnect there is a chance that map will turn all black meaning that the player's computer thinks the map is already loaded and does not tell the host's computer that it needs the map upon refresh.

To fix the first, create a smaller file size for the map using image compression when saving. Then use the import map from file. Using the clipboard for big maps or high detail maps will create huge file sizes - I've seen up to 80MB map files when I've created maps in this fashion, even if the original image file was less than 5MB.

To fix the second, you can have the player delete all cached files from their player directory and login again. Or simply have them choose another login name. Then when they login their computer says they need a copy of the map.

 

That's an interesting issue.

If you have your remote player delete all the data files inside the following directory and load d20Pro again, see if that fixes the issue.
\MindGene\d20Pro\player\campaigns\

OR

You can have your remote player login using a different alias name.

Both options will download a fresh copy of the map from the the host computer, which should fix the issue.


If you both have 1GB of RAM allocated to Java, a few maps loaded shouldn't reach the upper memory limit. However, when the upper memory limit has been reached d20Pro will no longer display new maps... which then would be a good time to use the GC option. Let us know if one of these solutions solve the issue you are posting about.
