[TUTORIAL/TOOL] How to fill a custom map

[Frenetic_Calm]

Ok, so I got a basic map to work.
I searched this thread pretty hard and probably didn't use the correct words.
Could anyone help me find where it tells me how to get characters to populate for each province please?

Just a link or something, I don't mind doing the work.

Thanks

You need to write title and character history for the holders to populate the provinces.

didn't know if there were a generic way, but doing this will be cathodic.

Could you possibly upload these to the forums in a post? I am unable to access any mediafire downloads from China, and could really use this tool.

I've been working on this map for two weeks now. I had everything working up until i started adding the oceans. I've changed the colors many times to match colors from the base map. Does anyone feel brave enough to check it out? I'm about to punch a hole in the wall.

Thanks!

What exactly is the problem?

 

[Frenetic_Calm]

What exactly is the problem?

It crashing on "Loading Sounds" or on startup. I can't find logic to when it crashes.

I added the logs
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfleq0tz5p916yd/logs.zip?dl=0

and the dump file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ergag0iu20pdna/dumps.zip?dl=0

is there a way to read the .dmp files?

 

[richvh]

Only the devs can interpret the dump files, as they are binary files which are copies of the memory contents at the time of the crash.

thanks.

so far from what I've read today, I may have a color wrong in he map. Anyone agree?

Your tree files is called "Trees.bmp" instead of "trees.bmp". And it contains of the tree map in the upper left corner and 90% white space around. This way it can't work.

Hi
I have got some problems when I tried to add a new county in the original map, I have used the No.1467 color in definition.csv file to change the color a small area in provinces.bmp, added a province file, then added a land title with title history, but in the game, the new county was unselectable like Tibet, the title was given to a character, but the county didn't contains any barony, I DID add two in both province file and landed title file. What did I miss?

 

[richvh]

Do you have max_provinces set to 1468 or higher? Is there a 1468 line in definition.csv?

 

[HEHEHE123]

Do you have max_provinces set to 1468 or higher? Is there a 1468 line in definition.csv?

Yes, I do set max_provinces to 1468, and definition.csv file ha more than 10000 lines

 

[richvh]

Did you add title history for the county?

 

[HEHEHE123]

Did you add title history for the county?

Yes, I set the holder to a character when 1066.1.1, in the game, the title is given, but no barony title under the county title.
Thank you for your reply

Show the province history file.

 

[HEHEHE123]

Show the province history file.

# 1467 - Changan

# County Title
title = c_changan

# Settlements
max_settlements = 2

b_luoyang = castle
b_xuchang = city
#b_mogao = temple
#b_yumenquan = castle
#b_yueyaquan = castle
#b_hongliuwan =
#b_xuanquanzhi =

# Misc
culture = bei_fang
religion = dao

# History
848.1.1 = {
    culture = bei_fang
}#Gansu Yughur Kingdom

I copied the file from 1448 - Dunhuang

 

[HEHEHE123]

Show the province history file.

I figure it out, I delete the 5 baronies behind the # , I guess because I did change the key, but it is weird, cause this is actually the second file I have tried, the first one I tried I changed all baronies' key, but it caused the same problem.

Thank you!

 

[richvh]

Did you give all the baronies unique names?
