No, it still crashes on me. It must be something else in the folder. I have added the files you gave me and the set up is the same as when it worked with the darkest hour map, but it crashes immediately, index error again.
I don't suppose you could zip the folder and send me the whole thing?
I found the map utility that used by mumia in old thread and it worked fine for me.
I don't know what Jamies MapUtility version do you use so I think it's best to upload version I used to make E3Map v1.0:

Also to not let you waste time to extract E3Map map images, here they are:

Have fun
Thank You Again!
The map utility file works fine as it worked already with the dh map. THAT one you listed, has a trojan attached... so my antivirus tells me.
ONE LAST THING I PROMISE.
I need the images.txt file as well as the image. Can you please attach it in a post. And Again.
THANK YOU !
I'm still screwed, it still crashes.
I'll start all over with fresh folder and progs and see if it opens for me.
Again, Thank You for all your help. Cheers

It would appear that in your map version the layers are not aligned properly, rivers are all over the place. But good job otherwise.
No luck.

Now the original Darkest hour map will not open either, and it did before I started trying the E3 map,
So maybe my files are somehow corrupted or windows 10 does not like the files anymore?

Well using the above Mapmaker I successfully extracted my E3 map files with MapExtractor, viewed them on all zoomlevels with the MapViever and am currently remaking the map with Mapmaker. You must be doing smething wrong.
Yeah that is good. I'm in the process of reorganising myself here so I can try again later. Cheers
Here are the steps I took: just extract the MapUtility, all the files you need are in it. No need to copy images, objects, settings, etc. Don't edit settings except for the link to your map files, i.e. your Darkest Hour map folder (the DH file structure is different then AoD, so you probably need to copy the E3 map files to the map folder in Darkest Hour (not Darkest Hour full). Open Mapextractor, extract the files. Once finished the map files should be in the exported maps folder of the MapUtility. You can then view them with MapViewer or open the images for editing with Photoshop. Once you finished editing your images copy all image files into the MapUtility folder. Open MapMaker and go through the 6 steps to recompile the map. Now all you need to do is decide which provinces you would like to merge and then use Mumias original images to repaint the map accordingly.
Yes thanks for the instructions, but I've done it so many time now, and it still fails.
I successfully extracted the DH lite map.
I successfully extracted the DH full map.
The E3 map repeatedly failed, despite trying all possible changes.And the subsequent log text file was empty.
EDIT: I even tried mumia's original E3 map, and it was the same.
EDIT 2: I then tried using the mapviewer.exe, by adding all the necessary files and images. Did not work. This was using a separate folder and a fresh map progs.

Can you send me a link to all the files you were using? Maybe I can find a solution.
Well all I have here is the original Map Utility v1.2.5b which I downloaded. That one from a day or so ago contains a trojan virus according to my antivirus.
I switched pc, from win 10 to win 7, exactly the same result.
It either starts and crashes as in the previous post, or gives a message that I need adjacent.tbl file, which is there already??
Looks like I'm scuppered on this whole idea.
I don't know why your map utility always crashed.
The orginal one that contain the files that I sent ? It might be don't worked I think.
delete all you file and replace the mumia one,changes only your game directory in settings.txt such like D:\games\Darkest hour\mod\XXX save and close and try to run again.
I very much appreciate your help and advice on this project.
But I've pretty much beaten this to death in trying to get it to work. This way, that way, every other way...
Cheers
