| − | + | WarLight currently has a hard time understanding SVG files that have setting for an SVG's width and height from its view box. This can cause maps to appear incorrectly sized when uploaded to WarLight, or to not appear at all if they are so much larger than the screen that all of the territories are off-screen. | |

After doing this, your map will likely shift all of its territories to different locations. Now you should select all of the territories and move/resize them to fit them back within the box.

| + | ==Transform Fix== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unfortunately there are a few kinds of transformations that SVG supports that WarLight does not. These can cause objects to appear at a different location within WarLight than they should. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Fortunately, these are easy to fix. In Inkscape, open the XML Editor (on the top toolbar, it's the 4th button from the right). | ||
| − | + | Select the offending object. The XML Editor will show you the attributes on it. If you see an attribute named ''transform'' with a value that starts with ''matrix'', delete it. This will cause the object to move in Inkscape - now just drag it back to its correct position and your map should work normally. | |
| − | + | This bug will be fixed in the next WarLight release, 1.08. | |
