DH Map Modding

[Vaximillian]

A pair of questions dedicated to Martin or EWPhoenix (sp?) or everybody else who knows the map-modding process of DH.
I'm just asking for a new project of mine (not that new if you get what I mean...)

1) Is Jamie's MapUtility still the one and the only tool to edit DH map?
2) Are the editing principles the same as they were in HoI2?
3) Do I have to edit different zoom levels manually?
4) ??????
5) PROFIT!

In fact, the first three are the real questions. More can follow.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I've never edited the map (I haven't even tried), but I'll try to answer your questions (since I don't know if the others are online these days - holidays, you know).
1) AFAIK Yes
2) AFAIK Yes
3) AFAIK Yes
4) AFAIK No
5) AFAIK No

(my answer are basically guesses, so I can be wrong)

I hope this thread can help you: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...t-Hour-Mapeditting-Tutorial-Discussion-Thread

I tried to make mapextractor to extract DH map files instead of vanilla map without success. If it tried to simply overwritte vanilla map with DH's one, mapextractor simply crashed. I guess that it had to do with map connections.
Could any good-hearted soul tell me how to make mapextractor to extract DH map files instead of vanilla's one please?

Yeah, them holidays... Gotta love them.

1) AFAIK Yes

I awaited such kind of an answer. Well, I'm more or less aquainted with MapUtility so it means nothing new to learn.

2) AFAIK Yes

That's good. However the province count and limits were changed, so the settings of the MapUtility should be changed as well. Must see.

3) AFAIK Yes

Too bad it is. I'll hope I won't need a «real» topographic map then.

BTW, the thread has many things of interest. Thanks!
