No, because removing a border actually involves redrawing a part of the map with different grayscales, then changing offsets and other stuff, and I perfer to finish the finished product as quickly as possible.

:) Ok, what i actually ment was, is the mapeditor able to do that yet ? The border is only in one map mode and is a purely graphics error.
 
Updates:

Version 0.4 of specs. These should be more understandable

Version 4 of the MapViewer. This allows you to extract parts of the map into image files. Unfortuantly you still have to merge them into a photoshop file.

CoreLib.dll: MapViewer v4 requires this.

See the first post for links and details.
 
I have a question Jamie, when you have created a fully working map editor (IE with the possibility to change the provincial borders), is it going to be relatively easy thing and with some advanced modding skills will be enough or, in contrary, it will be something ultra hard almost impossible if you don't have programming skills?

All you really need is Photoshop.

Really? and is it going to be hard? because i'm not precisely a master on it.

@Vladimir II: Yes. The names are parts of a grayscale image.

@Light CSA: ... I'll see when I have some time.

Thank you. Could you please explain the method of changing province names on the map in a post in the Über Balkan Mod thread? Please, Jamie. Thank you. It is really important for our mod. Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation.
 
Lots of updates. Lets go from least exciting to most exciting.

First: Version 5 of the Specs. Since support for .bmp, .jpg etc was added, these had to change a bit

Next: Version 5 of the MapViewer. You can now extract files through the commandline, so that you don't have to do it through the sliders. For arguments, type "-help" without quotes.

Finally: Version 1 of the MapEditor. So far, this cannot do lightmaps. But it can do everything else. (Though making radishfiles might be bugged)

BTW: You have to download CoreLib.dll again. (It is different, even though it still says version 1.0.0.0)

Both programs don't run.

That's a part of the MapEditor's DOS box error message:
Code: 
Unhandled Exeption: System.IO.FileLoadException: The file or Assembly Core
Lib, Version=1.0.0.29982, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1ed2a2c2f4d8201e 
...
File Name: CoreLib, Version=1.0.0.29982, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1ed2a2c
2f4d8201e
   at MapEditor.Program.Main(String[] args)
 
Now it's okay.

EDIT: The map viewer doesn't display the map.
Where do I get the psd.txt file from?


EDIT2: Ah okay, the psd.txt I must create myself.

I would like to see better instructions how to use the programs.

The map viewer extracts some png files (Zoom_4_#_#). But what I have to do then?
