Hi Alan, I'm the author of buildmap.pl script. Hope not being too late.
I've no windows box here, but I had a WinXP on a virtual machine, which I've used to test the script (not have it anymore though). AFAIR it worked quite well on the VM but it was a long time ago and I don't remeber if my tests included the directories creation (mkdir) :/. The only problem I remember was to find matching imagemagick and perl versions for my XP platform. I've just checked here on my linux box (perl 5.12 perlmagick 8:6.6.9.7) with sceneries from my computer, and images built from atlas/cvs on dated 2010-09-28 (ouch... old), everything seems to be OK, correct images have been created. Sure the script does not embed any documentation at all. I know this is a pity, indeed the script do nothing very complicated, and it was not dedicated to be published before being cleaned and commented. No interface neither help is provided yet... BTW have you checked the last available version: https://gitorious.org/zakharov/zkv1000/blobs/master/Systems/buildmaps.pl ? (I've just pushed last changes from 3 monthes ago before writing this mail) Do not hesitate to ask about zkv1000, this project is very calm these last days^Wweeks^Wmonthes... but not dead! :) Best regards seb Le 13/09/2011 20:38, Alan Teeder a écrit : > I am trying to integrate a moving map display into my TSR2 project cockpit > and decided that a stripped down version of the ZKV1000 code would be a > starting point. > ZK1000 derives its maps from the Atlas maps using the above perl script. > After a fight I got it to run using the command line perl buildmaps.pl > c:\flightgear\atlasmaps. > > Here are the bugs that I have encountered:- > > 1.
