Also, when I try to save into RGB it always became ARGB. Who can I make sure it stays RGB?
So I have a problem again. This time Mapmaker reports an error at step 1, this is the log:
I guess it has something to do with ProvID.png because MapMaker reported around 10 errors with RGB colors (color not found). Those must be the grey dots I accidentally left behind in Paint. Is there any easy way to locate them, other than staring at the picture? My eyes will fall out if I continue to do so
MapViewer also crashes when zooming at the edited map segment, probably because of the same problem. Log:

I haven't tried any of this map editing yet... but if the name of a province goes into the boundary of a new province, what should i do?
AFI: Doesn't matter, except for looking weird. I assume you could edit the image?
Zokan: It may be a problem with your ids.csv, but in the next version the problem won't happen anymore.

Hello, it's me again o
Look at this:
Can anyone tell me what's the problem? It must be something with the 468_90 colorscales image because all other aspects work fine. Tiles and borders are visible and I can select provinces. The image is properly saved in grayscale. It's as if MapMaker simply ignores that part of the map, but it didn't report any errors. I don't know what to do, please help.

A truly grand tool I must say, excellent work! A true gift to the modding community.
I've just successfully modified the HoI2 map, added three new provinces and looks and works all good except for one small problem: two of the provinces are inland and do not have sea connections and work just fine. One is an island with a connection to one sea province and a sea connection to a land province (the same way as for example Komanderskiye island). In province.csv I removed the Höfn sea connection and added beach & port entry to my new province. The province itself seems fine, I can move units there, send ships to the port but when I try to click the province, I just don't seem to be able to select it. I can select it using the Provinces-button on the top left button row but not by clicking it on the map. Strange thing, I must have missed something in the CSV files or something, any clues? The map .tbl-files should be all ok since everything else seems to be working.

Nope, wasn't skipped. The province area is still darkened like all provinces when it's selected, I just can't select it by clicking in the province area. Using the "View the provinces you are currently controlling" button I can select it and the province area gets darkened. It's quite weird. The two other provinces I created do not have this problem.
Has anyone ever encountered the missing province borders error? After running the game with my modified map, I noticed it lacks those red lines at certain points of the Chinese and Saudi Arabian borders. But MapMaker reported no errors in all 6 steps. What could be the cause of this?
It's not something crucial as the game works fine, but it's weird and ugly to see

fourth edit (last one I promise...):
I edited the map I wanted edited completely and tried to run mapmaker.exe. Originally, i had all the first five files that were to put together in the exported maps file (along with the extracted maps), but when i ran mapmaker.exe it didn't work. So I exported ALL of the files from the subfolder to the main folder and ran mapmaker. This time it worked; however, after I put in choice 1 so it would run it, several fatal errors occurred, and the log noted several exclusions....
I think I may not completely understand how I should be grouping these files into folders (the same problem occurred with mapextractor.exe until I removed the files from the subfolder to the main one) so could someone please help me? Finishing my first map edit is on the horizon, and I don't want it to fade away now... (sorry for the people who hate metaphors.... )

Followed the instructions half expecting what I was trying to do would not work but surprisingly it did.
I put an underlying texture in one province just to test could you do this and you can so I was wondering if you just play around with the maps textures do you affect game play in anyway?

I think my problem is in the part 6 of the tutorial, can anyone help me?
