I'm having problems with my map mod during startup, I keep getting a CTD at "Loading Databases" and I think it might have something to do with the bitmaps.

Could someone check my map out and see if there are any errors I need to correct?

I've been modding the AGOT map for my own personal mod and it constantly crashes at "Loading Databases" no matter what I do.

What strikes me as odd here is that your map files are a lot larger than normal vanilla map files ....
Jon, could you perhaps look at the basic map I posted at the bottom of the previpus page? It's been done with your guide, plus the modifications to default.map etc. To account for 2.4 compatibility, but it keep ctding after pressing play in adapting history with no error....
I ask you in particular because whatever the issue is mught be worth being notified in the totalconversion guide thread for future mapmodders
I've been told by other modders that it has something to do with the bitmaps being indexed.
edit: There is custom terrain on the map, would that cause issues with the indexing?

Since you're here Jon, I followed your instructions for just a test map, but it crashes while "Creating Rivers" without an error message. It get keeps loading until the audio stutters and the game exits to desktop. Do you know what could cause this?
A crash at creating rivers does not mean there's an issue with your rivers themselves. Check all your files are properly indexed to start off.
I'm not sure what you mean by this, I think I have all the right files and replace_paths.
I started from scratch, but it gets stuck in the same place, only now it crashes much faster. I wanted to compare to JonStryker's Ireland mod, but the file provided in the thread is corrupted when I try to unzip it.
That was it! Thank you. Although choosing single player crashes the mod.

ngppgn, did you ever find the fix for this problem? It sounds like the same issue I'm having.
Nop. Stilldespairingwith it. If anyone out there has a basic workingmap that don't mind sharing, I would be eternally grateful. At this ponit I don't know what elseto do

That's a shame, but thanks for replying. It must be something to do with the Horse Lords DLC but other than that I have no idea!
The allowed extensions are listed on the upload file dialogue. While .rar is not among them, both .zip and .7z are.
Took me a lot of trial and error, but I figured it out: Put a folder in common named "trade_routes". Put a blank text file in there called "00_silk_route.txt".
That's it!
replace_path = common/trade_routes would probably work as well. You just don't want a trade routes file with vanilla provinces being loaded, when you don't have provinces with those IDs.

Ah! Dumb me! Now it works! Thank you A LOT.
I probably should post this too in the Guide for total conversion, so in is registered for future mapmoders
Can someone tell my is my map so dark? it didn't used to be dark but now it stays dark no matter what I do.
Are the provinces themselves dark or is the entire map dark? You could consider brightening up the colormap if the entire map is dark.
