Errrm i've gone through step three various times but it doesn't say anything about the connection numbers.
I've searched it in log.txt and settings.txt but there's no trace of a connection number.
 
@ Mexbuild - Just copy your picture into a picture which already got correct indexed colours (which is: every colorscale.png except the one you edited ;) )

@ Kretoxian - 1. Sure you had no message looking like this?:



2. If you didn't have you tried to copy your adjacent-file and test it once more? And does it come a pop-up saying "MILESTONE ERROR!"

3. Do you have the newest version of the Map Utility?

4. It is often smart to delete old radish, temp and map files before running through MapMaker.. F.ex I got a strange Alaska once because one of the pictures wasnt rewroten

Yes, i'm totally sure, this is the info that the step three gives to me:

As you can see it does not say nothing about adjacencies number.

Yes i tried cleaning all the redundancies and it still gives the milestone error.

version 1.2.3 beta. I had 1.2.1 (stable) just yesterday when this error appeared.

I'll try that later....

You should go through it with the newest version, as newer versions is often cleaning away bugs. Some of the older versions is impossible to use.

Also, I advise you not to try add a connection which already exist
 
I got it to work finally by keeping a close eye in the #connections vs #required connection, thanks for the tip. But the adjacencies are totally screwed in the game now it seems it saves the adjacency manipulations from earlier runs, however am I correct in that I can just fix this by deleting connections as needed and just recreate them in the /map/adj-defs.csv file? Or can you only create river and sea type land to land connections and channel sea to sea connections in there and not regular land-land and sea-sea connections?

I personally just delete impassable connections defined adj-mod, as this will have no effect in game.
But you can only add land-land in map/adj-defs.csv, and not sea-land

Code:
123;321;Land;0;Example
 
I don't understand...I add 20 new connections between new provinces and delete 20 old ones,
but the MapMaker shows me that I need to add 16 connections more (I have:14844, need:14860).
How can this be? Where do I need to take those extra connections from?

Also if I change nothing except the shapes of borders, MapMaker still shows that I need to add 18 connections...

EDIT: The MapMaker also tells something like "there is already a connection between x and y", but it is clear by looking at the map that there was NO connection between those provinces. What is that all about?

Look at YOUR province id map. If there are now connections, then there will be connections.
 
Ok, I have another question. Somehow my new island province (and almost every other province)
has a lot connections with the craziest places in the world (and I don't remember adding them). How do I get rid of these unwanted connections? Edit the "adj-mod" file and delete them? But then I will need to add even more connections to keep the balance and I already used all the available off-map provinces for that :/

You have added all possible extra connections for every single unused offmap :confused: ?

2606

Alltogether 38*38 = 1444 possible adds (Seing everyone can connect to one another)

(Not including 2607, as it have a bug)

I doubt that, especially as adding new provinces usually force you to make extra deletes rather than adds
 
Oh, I used only 2600+ provinces, thought they were the only off-map provinces available ^^ So that means I do have to edit the adj-mod file and take away those Estonian-USA connections, adding the off-map ones?

EDIT: Oh, crap. I just realized where those funky connections came from. Before working on Estonia I was playing with Washington state in USA ( the same ID as the Estonian islands ) and somehow those connections stayed even after removing my previous work...

yes ;) Though remember:
1. if any of them is river connection, you must delete them in Armageddon/Map/Adj-def.csv as well
2. to also add connections between islands and their surrounding waters
 
Ok, i'm officialy desperate now, i've done all the steps that Hannibal told me with various versions, and i still get the milestone error and the message telling you how many connections do you need does not appear anywhere (1.2.3 beta). :( :(

Could i upload the map files in order to tell me where's the error?
