Problems with map modding

[Thure]

Hello!

I have a problem if I will scale the map. If I load the game it will end at the loading screen "Make province 200#".

The map file: http://www.file-upload.net/download-3978478/map.rar.html

I hope really someone can help me!

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Thure,

I had a quick look at provines.bmp. It looks like you have added new provinces and then stretched the map horizinatally to 2700. I am not sure you can stretch it that far, there are certain limitations.

I suggets you look at some of the map modding guides posted in this forum over the last six months. They will help you out.

Remember to take small steps, otherwise you just never know where you have done wrong.

I don't have access to my computer right now so can't check the files, but 2700px shouldn't cause a problem (I tested it some time ago and concluded that 2700 was the max size). If it's crashing at the "Creating province x" then it might be a colormap problem. Make sure that the colormap_hires.bmp file is large enough and/or the scale defined in colormap.txt is right.

I think the problem is the colormap. And yes in a other thread I have read that 2700 is the max. Hm. How work the colormap?
And I don't understand the colormap_hires.

To check that colormap_hires is the right size, take the size of the map files (provinces.bmp, etc) and multiply it by the scale defined in map\colormap.txt (default is 4). This is the minimum size that colormap_hires has to be. I suggest that you reduce the scale in colormap.txt to just 1 until you make an actual terrain view map, just for the moment. Just to be sure, you can also clear out the adjacencies.txt file and regions.txt file if you want.
