    Viewing maps outside of SEQ

    Does anyone have a link to that utility that used to be on the Mapfiend site to read the MAP files and display graphically. Not the PHP script, at one point there was an actual program.

    I reworked the code from drawmap.cpp a little to make a simple map viewer that I can use to view the showeq maps.

    I'll tidy up the code a little then post it here...

    Works great. I did have to install mscomct2.ocx which wasn't found on my Win2k system or in the VB support files.

    Click here to download mscomct2.ocx

    win2k - winxp difference?

    Loaded both the vb6 runtime, and the additional mscomct2.ocx, and when running the map viewer I get:
    Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid


    Is this because I am running this on winXP, vs. win2k?
    yeah.

    Try this link Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - Q161344 one of the support articles mentioned might actually help.

    Ok that VbRuntime installer obviously doesnt install the windows common controls like I thought it would...

    There are only 3 external refernces in the project:

    Common Dialog Control (COMDLG32.OCX)

    Windows Common Controls 2 (MSCOMCT2.OCX)

    The 3rd is Microsoft Windows Scripting - which is mentioned in the readme.


    Hopefully this will fix it for those having trouble getting it to work. I was gonna make an installer - but the upload limit on this section is far too small...

    That windows scripter wont work with winxp, but:

    "Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when I try run the program.
    - This error has been reported with all versions of Windows. To fix this error...
    - First download COMDLG32.OCX and copy it into the \Windows\System32 directory.
    - Then, open the run dialog box using "Start | Run..." and enter "Regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx" to register the DLL.

    pulled that from another site... worked for me
    yeah.
