Initialization flags not understood: density.MaxEnt

[rprieto]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run MaxEnt (3.3.3) in batch and for that I created a "Template" model that I used to create a .bat file, by copying the arguments given by the log file (or at the end of the html file). There is one argument that seems to be causing a problem: density.MaxEnt

The arguments given by the log to repeat the model are:

java density.MaxEnt nowarnings noprefixes -E "" -E SEWH responsecurves jackknife outputformat=raw "outputdirectory=D:\DATA\Maxent\BB_project\Models\Summer\with calanus\Betta testing\B3" samplesfile=D:\DATA\Maxent\BB_project\dependent\all_incld_whl_clip_trimdupes_grid.csv environmentallayers=D:\DATA\Maxent\BB_project\explanatory\summer\Standardized noaskoverwrite noremoveduplicates randomtestpoints=33 betamultiplier=3.0 nohinge noextrapolate maximumiterations=5000 -N eastness_standardized -N northness_standardized -N slope_standardized

The problematic flag appears at the beggining of the statement. Does anyone have dealt with the same issue?

As an update, to work around this issue here is what I've done:

#Copied the arguments to the batchExample.bat file that comes with MaxEnt installation, keeping the first arguments to set the memory used by Java and call in MaxEnt: java -mx2080m -jar maxent.jar;
#Removed the problematic string: java density.MaxEnt

That seemed to work, because MaxEnt started with the correct settings defined by the bat file; finally, I just added the new lines for each MaxEnt run and added the all important autorun string to the end of each line.

the final string is in these lines:

java -mx2080m -jar maxent.jar nowarnings noprefixes -E "" -E SEWH responsecurves jackknife outputformat=raw "outputdirectory=D:\DATA\Maxent\..." samplesfile=D:\DATA\Maxent\... environmentallayers=D:\DATA\Maxent\... noaskoverwrite noremoveduplicates randomtestpoints=33 betamultiplier=1.0 nohinge noextrapolate maximumiterations=5000 -N eastness_standardized -N northness_standardized -N slope_standardized autorun

Hi,  having trouble getting subsequent Maxent models to run...  Can you post the string for the "new lines for each maxent run"?  I think just the secnd iteration (model run) would be sufficient... Right now i can only get the model in the first line to run but have 80 lines listed in the bat file - I'm trying to figure out if im missing something obvious.  

Thanks!
