Wont load map xml file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Revision: 188

I wanted to test whether the API is able to load the ICCup Python
1.3.scx.xml file, so I started a match on the exact same map.

The following logline appears in the log:
Exception in AI::onStart: Unable to load data file bwapi-data\\maps\.xml

Possible Explanation: Maybe I have another version of python 1.3, so that
it isnt able to match it to the xml -> can you send me your version of
python if you suspect that that might be the cause?

Well the Exception message should contain the map name, like this one I got 
when I
started another map, so the 
Exception in AI::onStart: Unable to load data file bwapi-data\\maps\ICCup 
Faoi.scx.xml

Well, there was one problem with the double slash, the property parser
(bwapi-data\\map ...)
I corrected the property parser so it is only one slash, I don't know if it 
could be
the reason of your wrong exception message, but it more likely look, that the
get-map-name function doesn't work for you, do you have the correct map name in
buildability.txt file in bw-api dat?

Map file: 0

There isnt a map title either

Well, strange, it works for me, but I must admit I just searched the unit name
offset, so I't can't be guaranteed it is correct
1) what type of game as that? (Sinlge/lan/battle net)
2) Provide me the full (absolute) path of the map you should have there
3) Are you familiar with ollydbg, or other debugging tool?

1) Single & LAN tested
2) C:\Spiele\Starcraft\maps\aitest\ICCup Python 1.3.scx
the logline doesnt always is '...\.scx.xml' or '...\0.scx.xml' no matter which 
map I try
3) I know what ollydbg does, but I'm not familiar with its usage nor with 
assembler
(only had basic assembler in school)

If you want me to find the offset for the mapname I can do it if you help me 
with
ollydbg -> do you have icq/skype etc? (my icq 166788349)

Seems to be solved (quickdeath verified it is working for him now, and it works 
also
for me)
