Limey Yank Games Austerlitz Image Tiling Error

Technical Support & Bugs
1

Hello All,

Running into an issue with image tiling for the map for the Limey Yank Games version of the Austerlitz module (link below):

http://limeyyankgames.co.uk/vassal/la-bataille-dausterlitz

This is not the one here on the vassal site, which is for a different version.

When initially tiling the module, the image tile progress bar hangs at 16% on the map image. Eventually I will be offered the game intro screen with the tiling progress bar still hanging and can start a scenario, but no map is loaded (although most other elements are there). It seems to be possibly related to this issue:

http://www.vassalengine.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11264&hilit=tiling+images

As I am not the developer there is not much I can do about a CMYK / RGB profile issue in the .png file. Here is my system info:

Model: HP 20-c020 all-in-one
OS: Windows 10
CPU: AMD E2-7110 APU
Memory: 4 GB
Video: AMD Radeon R2
VASSAL: 3.2.17 (current and reinstalled today)
Java: 1.8.0_241-b07
Module: LYG La Bataille d’Austerlitz

For what it’s worth, I boosted the initial heap memory in VASSAL to 1024 MB with max heap at 2048 MB.

Any help appreciated!

I should note that I reinstalled Vassal, cleaned out the image tile cache a few times, and have redownloaded the module a couple times as well.

Here is the error log info (relevant lines bolded);

Hello All,

Running into an issue with image tiling for the map for the Limey Yank
Games version of the Austerlitz module (link below):

limeyyankgames.co.uk/vassal/la-b … austerlitz

This is not the one here on the vassal site, which is for a different
version.

When initially tiling the module, the image tile progress bar hangs at
16% on the map image. Eventually I will be offered the game intro
screen with the tiling progress bar still hanging and can start a
scenario, but no map is loaded (although most other elements are there).

That’s an absurdly large map (18371x8200) for the level of detail on it.
It should either be (a) scaled down, or (b) split into several smaller
images.

It seems to be possibly related to this issue:

Vassal Won't Process Image Files?????

It isn’t. That issue is caused by Java’s JPEG loader being unable to handle
CMYK profiles. The issue you’re seeing is due to the image being a size
which isn’t sensible.

If you check your errorLog, you’ll proably find that the image tiler is
running out of memory.

OK, thanks!!! Is there any way to increase the memory available to the tiler? I don’t have access to the image to break it up, and my potential opponent is able to get it to load.

Thanks again!!!

I made a test build containing some modifications to how the max heap is set for the tiler. It’s 3.3.0-svn9378, available here: vassalengine.org/~uckelman/tmp/

Please try that and let me know how it behaves for you. (I can’t reproduce the problem myself, so I’m reliant on testing by people who are having the problem.)

Thanks for the efforts, this was a pleasant surprise! Sorry for the slow response. I am getting the same behavior, but the image loading seems to be hanging at a different spot (42% vs. 16%). So it is getting a little further but not fully loading the module in a way that makes it playable.

Honestly I think the likely issue, aside from the module being constructed with large images, is that my PC RAM is probably low by today’s standards. Others can get this module to open, so it will just have to wait to my next computer upgrade I think.

RAM isn’t very expensive these days. It might be worth checking if you
have any open slots, or if all the slots are full whether those slots
support more capacity than you have in them and could be swapped out
for something larger. (Ebay is a good place to find RAM for older
machines, btw. I can’t see another 4GB costing you more than $10.)
