Year 8 Day 190 4:06 Black maps
Kojotes Jano

Hi there

I have a strange problem with Combine. When I try to look at a city map I can see oonly black square in a place where should be this map. Same goes with other maps. What is interesting, when I opened SW Combine on IE (older version, not sure which one) everything was all right, I saw all the maps for the first time :>

I use Firefox 2.0.0.3.

DO you have any hints what is wrong with my browser? Because I guess it must be FF fault.



//EDIT\\

Problem solved.
Solution:
removing ALEXA TOOLBAR helped.

Do you have any adblockers or something similar installed for firefox? If so, please make sure they don't block SWC images.

Yes, I have AdblockPlus but I'm sure it doesn't block SWC images. I started playing SWC 1.5 month ago (I wasn't able to see any maps then too) and I installed Adblock like 1 week ago.

It might be blocking images or it is blocking javascript as I believe that is how the city stuff is put together.

Forgot to add, I can normally see the fly animations + galaxy map. Also installing special Sw Combine addons gave me nothing....

Try turning AdBlockPlus off for a sec and see what happens. If it doesn't work could you list the other extensions you have installed please?

Turning AdblockPlus off doesn't work, same as other addons I have:

AdBlockPlus 0.7.5.1
British English Dictionary 1.19
ImageShack right-click 0.3.6

Hmm I dont know if it is important, but I changed my browser like 3 weeks ago (from FF 1.5.x.x to FF 2.0.0.3). But before and after the change I wasn't able to see any maps (except main galaxy map).

Mmm, Clear your Cache, Disable AdBlock, Wipe your Cookies and give it another go. If that doesn't do it make sure you don't have any online accleraters such as the Google one running because they can do stupid stuff like that.

None of these worked.

It's not a matter of death and life but it's pretty annoying to switch the browsers each time I want to check something in SWC.

hmm.

What firewall do you have?

Could you take a screenshot and upload it somewhere or mail it to khan@swcombine.com please?

Do the system and planet maps on the Galaxy Map work?

Yes, galaxy map and sector maps works.

I can always see my position with all correct coordinates (but currently im in hyper). I can also travel etc all those things but I dont see the map so each time I have to guess where the gravity well ends :s

hmm. Could you get the HTML source of a system or plane Galaxy Map page (Right Click > View Source) and upload it somewhere or mail it to khan@swcombine.com please?

Here are the HTML sources of system map and planet map:

and:

For me these HTMLs are black magic... hope you will find something in them :d

Ah ha!

The source has some HTML in it that should only appear for IE users and that is causing the black maps. I've added some debug to the HTML. Could you get the HTML source for one of those pages again please?

Those were taken in Firefox 2 aye?

cstr_Browser = Internet Explorer
HTTP_USER_AGENT = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1, SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; FDM; Alexa Toolbar}
browserStat = Internet Explorer
browserStatDetailed = Internet Explorer 6.0

That's what it is reporting your browser as. It could well be the Alexa Toolbar causing the problems. Did you install that intentionally?

No, it is the first time I hear about Alexa Toolbar on my comp o.O


Anyway, I deleted this 'thing' and it works! I can see all the maps now.

Thank you Khan ;)
