Guide to Total Conversion Map Modding / Clans of Ireland

[Deathlinger]

Still ain't working, but not it crashes at creating trees. I added those 16 pixels, and every single map has had the pixels added.

Hello! Thanks for the guide, it's awesome. Quick question though. I have my terrain set to winter, but the snow doesn't seem to fall on the map in winter? Around the edges, ice appears however. Any idea how I can rectify this issue?

 

[JonStryker]

How's your climate.txt looking? If you've written the right words into the climate column of your provinceDef.xls (severe_winter, normal_winter, ...) that file should be compiled correctly.

 

[zkajo]

It looks pretty normal...

normal_winter = {
    # ISLAND KINGDOMS / Aoalvik
    2047 2048 2049 2050 2051 2052 2053 2054 2055 2056 2057 2058 2059
    # ISLAND KINGDOMS / Hofsteigr
    2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031
    # ISLAND KINGDOMS / Landeyjar
    2039 2040 2041 2042 2043 2044 2045 2046
    # ISLAND KINGDOMS / Myra
    2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
    # ISLAND KINGDOMS / Rangarvellir
    2032 2033 2034 2035 2036 2037 2038
    # ISLAND KINGDOMS / Vartagar
    2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023
    # ISLAND KINGDOMS / Wysvyr
    2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
    # Koffmap
    2060
}
#    NO WINTER = {
#        # NO KINGDOM
#        1500 1501 1502 1503
#    }

Honestly have no idea why the snow doesn't show up

EDIT Here's a screenshot to prove that winter is there... just no snow

Spoiler: pic!

EDIT!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED! Normal map was too big. I scaled it down (/2) and it worked perfect!

 

[ngppgn]

are you using custom terrain textures by any chance?

 

[GVegt]

Can anyone help me debug this? I've tried following the described steps, but it keeps crashing at naval ranges (which apparently can mean anything.)

Hey Jon, exactly what version of java 7 do i need?, cause every time i run mapfiller it simply says "java is not recognizable as a internal or external command...", if you could leave a link to the one your using, it would be much appreciated <3

 

[JonStryker]

Any java 7. I don't want to sound condecending but you probably didn't install it right.

 

[ElvisTheLegendary]

thats cool, I probably did, just rushing through trying to see what my map looks like, thanks bro

 

[JonStryker]

What? How? Why?

 

[enoofu]

Believe that in the error message on improper map sizes, not sure if it truthfully correctly

 

[Jack45]

Yep, you really should change the first post to multiple of 64, I just lost about an hours worth of work because my image wasn't a multiple of 64

 

[Raykyn]

Same here :-(

Anyway, thank you Jon for that tutorial!

Edit:
I did all the maps again and this time everything worked! Thanks a lot, Jon!
Finally Aventuria can rise!

One Question though:
I made my map higher than usual (3072x2048) and now the ocean in the north is covered with ice. Anyway I can change that?

Okay one thing more:
The colours in your rivers.bmp file are actually inverted (pink is land). Is that wanted?

 

[enoofu]

"I made my map higher than usual (3072x2048) and now the ocean in the north is covered with ice. Anyway I can change that?"

Map size doesn't effect that, topo bmp map tell the game what is water and what is land if it below 96 96 96

Well, I just started it again, and this time it was without ice. No clue what went wrong there.

 

[enoofu]

Only way to make Ice is to make it above water level and colormap whitish well, or to give the prov a winter climate in climate.txt

Hi again,
I am currently working on step 3 and I've got a question:

I have now put in all the kingdoms on province.bmp.

Game loads, everythings fine. But when I press "Single Player", the game crashes.

The error log only tells me:

Spoiler: Error log

[instanttextboxtype.cpp:92]: Not used, use maxWidth and maxHeight file: launcher/interface/main.gui line: 87
[instanttextboxtype.cpp:92]: Not used, use maxWidth and maxHeight file: launcher/interface/main.gui line: 104
[technology.cpp:718]: Missing Tech seed values:

[gfx_dx9.cpp:1444]: managed
[texturehandler.cpp:181]: Couldn't find texture file: .

The Validator only tells me that
1) Provinces are given names two times in localisation (which makes sense as we don't overwrite the localisation folders)
2) the succession laws given through the mapfiller aren't valid
But both those problems shouldn't be a thing as I also tested the game with only one Province as you describe in Step 2 and it worked there.

Help plx, can upload files if it's necessary.

Did you create custom characters, with custom dynasties, and add the characters to titles

 

[Raykyn]

Did you create custom characters, with custom dynasties, and add the characters to titles

Yeah, I just took the testguy mentioned in Step 2. And I gave him all the titles.

Edit: I found it, I didn't have the right tech start year in the technology files. Btw, something I saw right now: is it normal that when you don't do anything your char just begins to do stuff himself? I set it on 5x speed and it just began handing out titles, never seen that before.

 

[enoofu]

Happens usually when you aren't ruling such as a child ruler
