Daimonin Java Editor FAQ

The map is displayed in a weird wrong shape. Is this a bug?

No certainly not. Under the menu "Map->Map Properties", you have to adjust the setting of the checkbox "Show Isometric". It must be disabled for rectangular arches, and enabled for iso arches. You should also adjust the global iso setting under "File->Options..." accordingly.

Where can I get the latest version of the JavaEditor?

The best source is <http://mids.student.utwente.nl/~avogl/CFJavaEditor>. This is my personal page and I usually care about it. You'll find notes about recent updates and the changes being made. Anyways, please keep in mind that I'm only a student. I don't always have time, nor do I own that domain. So it certainly could happen that it is down sometimes or not perfectly up-to-date.

Another good (and the most reliable) source is Daimonin's CVS repository. Go to <http://sourceforge.net/projects/daimonin/> and try to figure out how to do an anonymous checkout. The package is called "CFJavaEditor".

The third possibility is you get an official release version. For that you can either look on Sourceforge or <http://daimonin.real-time.com>.

The editor has successfully loaded the arches, but all the images are missing. WTF?

Whenever I start the JavaEditor, I get a bunch of error messages concerning some missing font. What does that mean?

That appears to happen with several Linux distributions. The messages might be annoying, but it's completely harmless. Simply ignore it. If using Java SDK version 1.3, upgrading to 1.4 might resolve the problem and maybe even get you a better-looking default font.

My CPU is too slow for this program, and my memory doesn't suffice... and my display has only 256 colors. What can I do?

Let's see... Buy a new computer? :-)
Now seriously, I'm sorry that this program requires a certain level of system performance - But I can't help it. I have invested big amounts of time to make everything run as fast as possible and with least Memory consumption.
