Problems with extracting the DH map

[Stahl-Opa]

Hi Guys,

I ask the same in the mapping discussion thread in the tech-support forum, but there comes no answer. my mod is waiting for a new map, so i ask here - i think the chance that a modder see this post and can help is much better

sorry for my bad english, is not my main language and i don't used it since e few years



If i want to extract the map, i have the error:

my setting data:

#This contains settings for MapUtility, and can be shared among the programs

#The path to the game
#If the game exe is at C:\DD\HoI.exe, this would be GamePath=C:\DD
GamePath=D:\Spiele\Darkest Hour

#The max province number
MaxProvinceNumber=2608

#The width and height of lightmap1, the biggest one.
#The width and height are in blocks (each block is 32x32 pixels)
Lightmap1Width=936
Lightmap1Height=360

#The number of lightmaps
#Currently, only NumLightmaps=3 and NumLightmaps=4 are supported
NumLightmaps=4

#The width in bytes of each offset in the lightmap header
#Currently only 3 and 4 are supported
LightmapOffsetWidth=4

IdsAreNewWay=true

#The width of each value in index.tbl, in bytes
#Currently only 2 and 4 are supported
IndexTblValueWidth=4

#The number of entries that should be in the adjacent table
#This is strictly optional
#Usually used only with HoI
AdjacentTableEntryCount=14860

I copy all the datas of the map_1 folder are in the map folder of the vanilla direction (D:\Spiele\Darkest Hour\map)

the layers from the download are in D:\Spiele\Darkest Hour\map

the province_names.csv is in the config folder and the provinces.csv in the db folder (I moved both from gamedir/map_1)

and, another question: i have my mod Era of Steel (gamedir\mods\era of steel), but i will not overwrite the DH map for EoS. I now made the folder map/map_2 in the main dir. But, how knows the game, that map_2 for the EoS Mod is? where I must wrote something, that the game knows from where it must load the map? I hope you understand:S

greetings
