Okay, I've just got a "runtime error: Invalid *** argument 5" or something (I don't remember what *** was).

I can upload the world info which caused it.

P.S. It's:

Code: [Select]

Runtime error '5'.
Invalid procedure call or argument
It happens on 85% of XML parsing.

P.S. Here's the world data which is not being parsed.

This forced me to rework a few parts of the program.

V 2.0.1

Your files should now work, and it should support larger xml files.  Still crashes on my 387MB one though.  It appears the way I allocate memory to parse the XML files isn't efficient enough to keep me under some OS (or Visual Basic) memory limit.  I've never had a need to throw around hundreds of MB in a program before though, so this is uncharted territory.  Thankfully there is a lot of memory I can save if I do things smarter.  I didn't bother earlier because I didn't know this limit even existed lol.

Let me know if it works for you and any questions you have.

Edit: I knew it would be a great idea to add the progress % on top, I knew what the problem was before I even ran your files .

Can you reupload it? I get only 101 kb out of the download.

Just uploaded it again, but the zip is only 98 KB or so.

Edit - Just downloaded myself and confirmed that it works.

That's what I get



And a couple of other errors like that.

It looks like it doesn't know "site taken over" and "razed structure".

P.S. It would be cool if "filter out" was toggleable, not a one-time action or something. After I clicked filters a bit I was unable to see any site in the "sites" list at all.

Those events I have noted and they'll be included in some form next version, if only enough to stop that messagebox.

Lol, yeah that was a really early feature I didn't do very well.  I'm not sure how I'll mess with those, but yeah, they've become outdated/irrelevant especially after mod support.

Also note the site plundering event. There may be more.

I already captured a large number of events, if you can screenshot what comes up it'll help me out though, there can't be that many more.

V 2.1

• Added sorting options for regions, entities, and historical figs
• Fixed bug linking sites to entities
• Map now has civs expanding out from their original site, which I think is pretty cool
• Map shows founding entity and founding year
• site taken over and razed structure events handled, in the case of an undiscovered event coming up during world parsing, a new popup will save text directly to your clipboard so you can easily post and share here.
• Added kill counts and kill filters
• Added option to undo filters per Deon's request
• Added some summary information to the World Data tab that might be interesting.

Spoiler: Kills record! (click to show/hide)

Ilral Inkbreach - " The Golden Buster of Cresting"
A Dwarf which killed 41 dwarfs+goblins. 
She was finally struck down in battle at the age of 96 in the site she's lived her entire life since her marriage to her husband vucar catcharmors at the ripe age of 12.

You work really fast. Thank you very much.

Just tried version 2.1 of the world viewer. It got 61% of the way through world parsing and crashed out 50% of the way through the xml file. run time error 9: subscript out of range. my xml file is 263 MB (275,906,100 bytes). Hope this info helps ya out.

Getting that even on a pocket world, so size isn't an issue here. Might be unhandled events?

Hmm, the program states it is at Parsing Events (3218) - 93%. Event id stops 3310 and starts at 93. Seems to point at around ~3084, but there doesn't seem to be a particularly odd event in the area.

I'll try to generate another pocket world, and will probably upload them to the DFFD if I can't figure it out.

Uploaded.

Yeah, I have an idea where that's coming from, and is expected for larger files.  My next fix (today?) will either deal with bigger files (I have a 400MB I test with) and work or gracefully fail and reduce functionality if it can't handle events.  Both of these would be far better then a failure like that.

Knight Otu,

Fixed both the same way, thanks!

Had
.slayer_hfid <> -1
replaced with
.slayer_hfid > -1

haha, favorite bug so far.

Caused by me making big changes and not testing against enough varied world gens.  Your gen was different from my tested gens because your historical figures didn't start at zero.

Cant you parse the Xml in chunks, sort the info and offload everything to own files? This way you dont need to keep everything in your memory.

Yeah, that's what I'm inevitably going to do.  In the meantime my next update has some improvements which should prevent many crashes due to size, that way you can get the map, and lists of regions/historical figures/entities, even if it doesn't have very much info about them (due to skipping events because they are almost all of the XML files)
