Delete the config's file in the installation directory and restart the tool.
I don't have the problem for me.

Greetings,

I'm trying to create a new map for games converted from CK. I use your terrific tool to edit the province.csv file. So far, i've been able to edit provinces in North America and Europe.

My problem is when i try to open a map with starting coordinates 16128,0 (includes far eastern Siberia, part of Mandchuria and north Japan... and through a big part of north Pacific. I get an error :

Erreur d'exécution '9' :
Indice en dehors de la plage

Seeing the size of the map and the message, i thought it was beyond the size of the map.... so i tried the same map but saying the coordinates 10000,0... but i got the same error.

What can i do ?

Best regards


EDIT :
I've downloaded last version and installed in a cleared folder.

Are you sure of the color of your idmap. Look in photoshop or other the code of your color. Try a lot of different id. If a color isn't exactly the good for magellan, the program creates this bug.

Well, when i used magellan to inject the psd map to the eu2map file, it didn't give me any bug.... but i'll try to change some colors.

EDIT : I've started cutting the map in half to find the color that would be a problem.... then cut in half the smaller map... and so on until i get few province. After three or four cuts, no more problem. :wacko:
The initial map was smaller and had less provinces than the Europe part (that worked well). No problem of huge provinces.... i don't get it... any idea ?

 

[gigau]

Got another question : with this great tool, can i add more that one landscape sprite per province ?

yes, use alt, ctrl or shift + clic. Read message in the task bar (in the bottum of the windows)

When you create the id bmp file, create a new destination's file, copy the color on your source file and paste in the destination file. I don't know why but there are little change of colors if you don't make that.

Ooops.... sorry, hadn't seen the message

Greetings.... there's something strange :
I've made a map, saved it in BMP, 24 bit color deep, using Inferis 2 for color code. I checked : in the BMP file, the colors are still exactely what they were meant to be. But somehow, in KouinBro, i get strange province IDs... what can i do ?

How do you do for having your bmp id file. If you only disable the 3 layers and keep the id layer and copy it, there are problem. You MUST disable the 3 layer (shading, border, info) select all the screen with the id layer, copy it and paste it in a new file and save it as a bmp.

 

[gigau]

That's what i did...
Then i checked the "properties" (you know, click-right on the icon, the thing at the bottom - not sure of the name in english) of the bmp file. It indicates that the color depth is indeed 24.

I then opened the bmp file and checked the colors. They are precisely what i did (using Inferis2). So i guess there was no problem at that step.

When opening in KouinBro, a province with color 40E040, province ID 186 according to mcolor.exe, becomes province ID 250.

 

[cool-toxic]

try saving the id layer in 32 bit, if your screen color depht

Great many thanks... in fact i didn't have to resave, however, somehow, my screen parameters got changed... it was set to 16 bits... don't know how and why. Now i corrected that, KouinBro works fine. Thanks again

It's a problem with Photoshop.

To solve it :
copy only the ID LAyer
Open a new Photoshop file
Paste your ID layer (the image size is made automatically)
Save in the right format (aka .BMP)

Kroinbro will work perfectly

Thanks to Matteli for this tool (French private jock )

Je sais, c'est ce que je faisais.

Comme je l'ai dit dans mon dernier "post", le problème n'était pas là : c'était un mauvais paramêtre dans la "qualité couleur" de mon écran. Lorsque je l'ai remis sur 32bit, ça a bien marché.

EDIT : sorry for speaking french, but i think i could answer Polak's post more accurately in my native language .

EDIT2 : To all people using KouinBro, especially the unexperimented ones like me : remember to check that your screen color depth is at 32 bits. With a lower color quality, KouimBro (but also Magellan) might have some trouble.
