You should use this command:

C:\Users\nelson\Desktop\WAtK_Lite\mextract.exe lee.eu2map /C:\Program files\Europa Universalis 2

The map in FtG and EU2 can only have the standard size.

Is there still a limit of 255 provinces in block of map?

 

[Eraclio]

why this?
(...)

I remember that you must install Eu2 (demo or complete), or also FTG (demo or complete) for editing map files.
I strongly advise you to install EU2 / FTG in a easy-to-learn directory (for example: C:\EU2 , or C:\FTG ), to avoid putting so much time writing magellan commands.

256 in the so called sector limits.

Try:
C:\Users\nelson\Desktop\WAtK_Lite\mextract.exe lee.eu2map /1 /C:\EU2

I did it this way:

(Magellan in C:/Documments and Settings/Tomek ; files of map in C:/mapeu ; my map's and psd's name are "pol")

next:

mimage.exe /SI pol.psd pol.eu2map (to check your psd is it corect)

mimage.exe /I pol.psd pol.eu2map /G:3 (to export tour psd into map, you can also use /G:1 - fast change, /G:3 - is completly change )

minject pol.eu2map /L /D:c:/mapeu (te export your map into files used by EU2/FtG)

Hmmm...

Try this:

C:\Users\nelson\Desktop\WAtK_Lite\mextract.exe lee.eu2map /1 /C:/H:[size=+2]/[/size]EU2


and why you start in C:\Users\nelson -> start in C:\Users\nelson\Desktop\WAtK_Lite
You shoul have magellan files and map files in one Dir

Download Sulawesi then instead of this one. Should not ask for dimensions IIRC.

And you don't need to have EU2 installed in any special location. Just copy your Map folder from EU2 and in the directory with your magellan tools make a new folder called EU2map and paste the Map folder here. Now make a new folder next to it called DB and copy the EU2 province.csv to it. And it should work. You just need to go to C:/Windows/system32 and find cmd.exe copy it to the Magellan tools.

Then run cmd.exe which is the DOS console and use this command:

MEXTRACT Newmap /D:EU2map /C /1

Should give you a blank map with only layer 1, when you are finished with your map you just use the /L when injecting with minject to generate the two other layers. (This way you keep it sync in all 3 layers.)

C:\Users\nelson\Desktop\WAtK_Lite\mextract.exe lee.eu2map /1 /C:\EU2

I repeat to say that directory too strange aren't useful for modding

Just install your Eu2 in C:\Eu2, and put your lee.eu2map in the same folder
