Hi,
Indeed this is something that should be documented much better.
yes, base-style is not documented at all in the wiki, and I am not sure if it is still useful. reg. the error: r2508 and below ran into a loop searching for the base-style within the directory specified with --style-file, ending in an stackoverflow With r2509 I've added a check for that, but I am not 100% sure how base-style should work. Like others I wanted to create my own variabt of the default style by copying it: mkdir c:\mystyle xcopy /s d:\mkgmap\resources\styles\default c:\mystyle java -jar mkgmap.jar ... --style-file=c:\mystyle ... This will not work because the default style uses base-styles. So I tried mkdir c:\mystyles xcopy /s d:\mkgmap\resources\styles c:\mystyles xcopy /s d:\mkgmap\resources\styles\default c:\mystyles\mynicestyle java -jar mkgmap.jar ... --style-file=c:\mystyles\mynicestyle ... and that still did not work. One has to use java -jar mkgmap.jar ... --style-file=c:\mystyles --style=mynicestyle ... Is this the intended behaviour? If yes, the wiki should make this clear, but I'd prefer a default style that doesn't refer to other styles. Ciao, Gerd
