Need help editing a board for HeroScribe

[banjo_oz]

Thanks! I was working on this when you replied and had got everything displaying except the gridlines not being overlaid. You're right; I just had them before the room filling, so I swapped them over and everything looks right in the exported eps now! Awesome!

Code is below, for reference (in case I left a big mistake in!):

Only remaining issue is that painting "dark" doesn't show up at all; it seems like the corridor and room "fill colour" is obscuring it. Other icons (monsters, furniture, markings, tiles) all work and display fine.

My board code on Objects.xml is the same as for the default board:

Code: Select all

<board name="HeroQuest (Banjo)" width="26" height="19" borderDoorsOffset="0.08" adjacentBoardsOffset="-0.5">
<icon region="Europe" path="Europe/Board_EU" />
<icon region="USA" path="USA/Board_BA" />
<!-- Border corridors -->
<corridor left="1" top="1" width="26" height="1" />
<corridor left="1" top="19" width="26" height="1" />
<corridor left="1" top="1" width="1" height="19" />
<corridor left="26" top="1" width="1" height="19" />
<!-- 2x7 corridors -->
<corridor left="13" top="1" width="2" height="7" />
<corridor left="13" top="13" width="2" height="7" />
<!-- 10x1 corridors -->
<corridor left="1" top="10" width="10" height="1" />
<corridor left="17" top="10" width="10" height="1" />
<!-- 1x7 corridors -->
<corridor left="10" top="7" width="1" height="7" />
<corridor left="17" top="7" width="1" height="7" />
<!-- 8x1 corridors -->
<corridor left="10" top="7" width="8" height="1" />
<corridor left="10" top="13" width="8" height="1" />
</board>


I don't know, but I'm feeling it's something to do with the png. As I said, I am converting with InkScape. My steps, if it helps:
1) Export blank map to eps in HeroScribe.
2) Open exported eps in InkScape.
3) Export as png, leaving all settings as default.
What is making me think this is that the default board does *not* show the corridor fill in the png version, but displays it anyway in the editor. So is that what the corridor code in Objects.xml does... meaning maybe I *do* I need a new definition for rooms to use the same trick, since I don't think any other board in the AIO pack actually has filled-in rooms?

So the issue seems to be filling the room with color. If I delete the code that does this and use that edited .eps, HeroScribe allows me to darken a room without any issue (assume all of my exports are .eps as the .png functionality seems to be buggy/broken). I don't see the immediately see the issue and my rusty memory doesn't see a problem with this, but I will mess with it more when I get home to see if I can figure out what the problem might be.

EDIT: So I have an update. You are correct, the room colors are covering up the dark colors. From the looks of the export file for HeroScribe, the corridor colors get written to the final .eps file, then the dark colors, then the grid. Since your code for the room colors is in the grid, they are covering them up. You could try to edit the .eps file to add a new function that draws the room colors separate from the grid then call that from Java, but I don't know how program savvy you are. I may be able to figure something like that out, but I definitely don't have a lot of time to devote to that right now. But that appears to be the issue you are encountering.
