HeroScribe Icon Packs

[drathe]

Found in both All-in-One and Egyptian icon packs.

cool, thanks!!

I’ve download the installer, and after the installation I’ve extract (Here…) the AllinOne package in the folder of installation selecting “yes to all”.

After that I create a bat file inside the folder of installation with the following text:
java.exe -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar HeroScribe.jar

And it worked!

I'm having troubles with my heroscribe. It opens, and appears to be working, but I cannot get my heroscribe to work with the dragonstrike maps. I found some instructions by drathe and followed the path he listed to a point, but I have no boards folder, and no .xml files of the boards. The closest thing I have are eps.gz and .png files of the various boards, out of frustration I also decompressed the .gz files, but got no .xml files. I I got these in the all in one icon pack. Anyone point out my obvious user error?

And it worked!

the instructions read: start javaw -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar HeroScribe.jar
Windows cannot find javaw. you might want to change the howto to correctly read this, and change the included bat file as well.

edit: tried both, and windows can't find either file, and I have the latest java installed... I don't get it, it used to work

I tried these:
Start the program - this can be done in a number of ways:

click on the HeroScribe icon in the start menu; - splash screen, but hangs there.
click on the HeroScribe.jar icon in the HeroScribe directory; - same result
execute java -jar HeroScribe.jar from the command line. - windows does not recognize java as a program or something...


More: the download file all-in-one pack only contains these folders: DtdXsd and Icons... Where is the rest? Boards / Quests / Styles?

Please Derfel, create one complete all-in-one file, that you only need to unpack, with everything in it, that works under windows, with a shortcut that works, which you can simply copy to your desktop for us PC-idiots.

I second that. Pretty please with cherry on top?

[Sjeng]

when I install this with the executable, it works, but it's "vanilla".
Then I unpack and add the all-in-one pack, and it freezes on the splash screen...

I need a solution, or an executable with everything in it, pre-fixed. please!!!

[Sjeng]

I've been experimenting. I've unpacked all the all-in-one files, and with the included all-in-one Objects.xml, the program feezes. The original Objects.xml works, but has no added icons etc. It's vanilla.

But when I use an Objects.xml from one of the other maps (for example the Dragon Strike boards), it runs fine, with all all-in-one addons.

So the problem must lie in the Objects.xml that is included in the all-in-one zip file. It has to! But I'm no coder, so I have no idea what causes the freeze.

[drathe]

It freezes because the All-in-One requires more RAM than java uses by default due to the number of icons it needs to pre-load.

The All-in-One comes with a .bat file for those who have the problem with HS freezing on the splash screen while loading. If you've copied everything from the All-in-One .zip file and paste the contents over everything inside the HeroScribe folder, just double-click the HeroScribe.bat file and HeroScribe should load. It may take a couple minutes, but it shouldn't freeze on the splash screen. I just tested this with fresh files from the links you provided two posts back. It works on my system with the .bat file, (takes about 30 seconds to load) whereas using only the .jar file freezes on the splash screen.

So, I got HeroScribe running finally and played around a little.

One problem: I use the NA layout, so the corridors are darkened. But somehow it's impossible to further darken corridor parts that will not be part of the map.
I mean, unused rooms are even darker than the used corridors, so the end result looks weird as it is...

Can somebody help me with that?
