I checked the bitmap against what the first dozen or so were asking for in landed titles and they all seemed to match up. In light of that and the fact that it's saying every province is missing, I'm thinking that for some reason it's not reading the file, is reading the wrong file, or otherwise it's something else that's the matter since the conventional interpretation of the error doesn't really make sense, but I'm rather newbish and don't really know where to start looking for what might have gone wrong.
@Coven
Very, very weird map you have there (no offense). For starters why is the first province from your definitions file below sea level?
Also: Like always I appreciate people using my map filler tool

@Coven: your rivers are very weird too. Green dots mark the beginning of a river and red dots when rivers combine. The entirety of a river system (river and combining rivers) has only one green dot.
Yet another person stuck at the calculating paths. Currently, there are only three provinces, one land, two ocean. I am trying to portage the two oceans over the land, since at least a portage is required to run.

@JonStryker:
None taken. It's just a testing map while I try to learn what I'm doing, run before you can walk and all that. I was under the impression that anything coloured 93-93-93 or below was sea level and anything 97-97-97 or above was land? I believe I got that from using the search function on this thread...
Thanks for putting the effort in to making the tool in the first place.
@Opera:
Ah. I confess, I just guessed at what they meant from looking at the EK river map. I figured that green meant the start of a river (I realise the rivers wouldn't flow from the middle to either sea like that unless they were both coming down off a mountain range and diverging or something, but just wanted something that'd boot to begin with) but I had assumed that red meant a river ending somewhere other than the sea. Shall correct that and post again if there's any change, though otherwise I'm still pretty much stumped by this.

The provinces map must be saved in 24bits bmp not 8bits like the other map files.

8 bits means only 2^8=256 colors are available (far enough for the rivers/terrain/topology but not for the provinces)
24 bits means 2^24 = 16,777,216 colors i.e 2^(8+8+8) therefore the RGB values define colors in a 24 bits set as three 8 bits values going from 0 to 255.

A making a custom map
I have joined a small group of people who are trying to make a Star Wars mod for EUIV (we're trying to see if we can at least get started). Unfortunately, I’m the only one in the group that has any modding experience. So, that means I’m trying to learn how to make a custom map. I watched a group of videos that show how to make a pre-1.10 custom map (so, it's a little outdated), however the information is still mostly useful, so the only problems I am getting I think has to do with adding a major river and/or adjacencies, which I do not know how to do. Would someone be willing to look at my files to see if that's the only issue, and to teach me how to make major river and/or adjacencies?
Link:http://www.mediafire.com/download/sdwi6d6i6ifowwd/SW_test_map.zip
My map has 3 provinces, with the first two being land, and the last being a sea province.
The videos I was referring to, if anyone was interested:
part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFtGv0iMYAY
part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SziwKIhPgSs
part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPa76AtL0hU
I left the vanilla adjacencies.csv file in the mod because I did not understand how to make the sea/Major rivers/portages.
Based on the code on the first line, I believe I figured out most of it.
The From and To part, both use numbers, which I believe corresponds to the province number. The Type part, tells the computer what type it is either sea, major_river, or portage. The Through part, is another number, which I believe represents the province that the thing is going through (why seas have this as well, I don't know). The four -1's are in everything, so I'll just leave that be. And the Comment part is just helpful info to modders. Do I have that all correct?
The static.txt I commented out, and positions.txt I left as vanilla (which probably needs to be changed, but don't know how).
So that's everything I know about. Hopefully, what I just said makes sense and someone is willing to help.
P.S. If anyone wants to join the group, that would be awesome! :happy:

If I were you I would start with EU3 map modding to get into EU4. Those major_river and portage shenanigans won't be in EU4 most likely.
In CK2 the positions.txt can be left empty and the game will load if everything else is okay. The ports will be located inland etc. but that'll not be game breaking. If you do the portage thing like detailed in the issues with custom maps thread all should be fine.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but what is the purpose of the "world_normal_height" map file ? I have tried running ck2 with a ruined "world_normal_height" map and I didn't see any difference.
I am currently making a map for my mod. Do I need a "world_normal_height" map file ? Can I f.e. have a "world_normal_height" file with the same type of purple everywhere ?
Edit: I experimented a bit more, by deleting this file all together and then running the game. That made the map very dark, so I guess I will have a "world_normal_height" file with only one color. (I of course have a backup of the game, and the of the "world_normal_height" file as well).

Map help?
So does anyone know how to fix "calculating naval range" CTD?
I gave up on my more complex map that kept crashing and made a simple one with one island (two provinces) surrounded by Mare Incognitum to see if I could get at least that working.
I did get further, but now, whenever I get to "calculating naval range" it crashes.
Map dimensions are 1024x1024 square

Since the .bmp files are too large to upload as attachments, I uploaded them to my test server.
I have not added any maritime provinces yes as I read that someone successfully had “PTI ocean” surround their three provinces.
Should I just add maritime provinces around the island? Or is there something else I've missed.

It's the normal map. Search in google for 'Normal maps' or 'Normal mapping 3D".
I had added a portage between two maritime provinces through 1 coastal region as I had heard that would fix explosions. Anyhow, going off your idea, I decided to blank it.
It still crashes though.
I have the following in my adjacencies.csv

in my setup.log am I correct in my belief that the map works but something else is exploding?
I have a blank history/provinces and the map. Nothing else changes in the mod so far. Am I missing something obvious?

You can blank positions.txt; adjacencies is currently vital for loading the game.
None of the errors explain your problems, though. They are all non-game breaking.
Edit in that portage that's most likely it.

Added it in, no luck, still crashing but on calculating_naval_range now. Saw on the 'Issues with custom maps' thread that someone suggested sea straits were mandatory as well so I added that in after the first crash. No luck.
Read that the engine craps out if you define sea_starts as 1100+ so I set it to start at 1099… No luck. Crash at calculating naval range.
and default.map
funnily enough, I can get the map to load when I do not have any custom adjacencies.csv/default.map (say if I rename them to _adjacencies.csv and _default.map).
Of course, it gets confused about where the ocean starts then and what is/is not a major river.
See anything horribly wrong in my defs?

I think I may have isolated the crash reason!
Messing around with a default default.map I can now reproduce a crash whenever I set max_provinces over 1112.
edit: So I've been up all night trying to get this to work, finally resorting to ditch everything I had done so far and use your Map filler tool.
I copied over default.map and set it to max_provinces = 80 (I have 79) and sea starts = 58; I defined my 1 major river and 1 lake.
I wrote adjacencies again with the new province IDs
I feel like setting it all on fire. grrr.
Here's the whole folder, maybe someone can make some sense of it.

And of course, if you let the game run the vanilla default.map and adjacencies.csv it works!

The numbers on top of your default.map look wrong: Max_provinces is the highest id you have +1. Sea starts is the first river/lake/ocean province, in your case 58.
And your rivers.bmp contains too much black for my taste.
