Hi Joel,
Sorry for the delay. Busy week. I also found out that many other players are
seeing this issue, so it's NOT related to my special version. It's completely
related to the 2.9.9 upgrade not working with something that worked before.
The first error appears when you attempt to Syncronize. You most click OK or
X 20 plus times and then it goes away and you get the second attached error.
Once you say OK to that, you see the first error a few more times. Then the map
successfully loads and everything works fine. Also, extra maps in MDX extension
files seem to be fine--it's just the ones in the main MOD for some reason.
I got someone to test with me, and he mentioned his version is 2.9.7. I'm not
sure if that's related. I'd assumed everyone had updated automatically to 2.9.9
by now. Errorlog is below.

W/r/t the map update, was the motivation the size of the module? I'd expect
JPEGs to give you lower-quality images. If you just want the images to take
up less disk space, I'd recommend using PNGs and optimizing them with pngout.

Yes, having the error and logfile would be useful. I'd like to see what's
happening.
