HI Everyone, A friend messaged me while I was lucky enough to escape the UK and get to spain for some caving, which was great! I've got back and tonight I tried to look at the problem he was having outputting in Therion 6.0.1 I ran his survey in 5.5.3 with no issues whatsoever, I thought he could be getting a bug from 6.0.1 so i updated my software, and now i'm bugged in 6.0.2 with the metapost exit code on his survey. ####################### metapost log file ######################## This is MetaPost, version 2.00 (TeX Live 2020/W32TeX) (kpathsea version 6.3.2) 22 SEP 2021 21:44 **data.mp (c:/Program Files (x86)/Therion/texmf/mpost/mpost.mp (c:/Program Files (x86)/Therion/texmf/mpost/plain.mp Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.005) ) (./data.mp {randomseed:=42} [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [1] [Warning: scrap outline intersects itself in scrap loper-p@inglorious.CusseyMas ter] [2] [3] [4] [5] [Warning: scrap outline intersects itself in scrap indy-1p@Indy.CusseyMaster ] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [Warning: scrap outline intersects itself in scrap timewarp-3p@Timewarp.CusseyM aster] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [Warning: scrap outline intersects itself in scrap inglorious-1p@inglorious.Cus seyMaster] [28] [29] [30] [31] [Warning: scrap outline intersects itself in scrap mine1@inglorious.CusseyMaste r] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [Warning: scrap outline intersects itself in scrap shattered_dreams-2p@shattere d_dreams.CusseyMaster] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] (./mptextmp.mp) [61] !
