ad a new sea zone to an existing map
-
hi,
that was true, after that manipulation I could start the placement picker.
However something is wrong.In neither place.txt not name_place.txt nor polygons.txt a sea zone 66 appears !
Just in the centers.txt I find:
Sicily (1098,780)
67 Sea Zone (1048,700)
14 Sea Zone (1197,775)
69 Sea Zone (1277,234)
68 Sea Zone (1449,620)
66 Sea Zone (1094,803)
Malta (1126,808)yet - nothing else in the centers.txt
The other sea zone are also new one created by me. so far ok with that.what went wrong??
Should I copy those coordinates from centers.txt to the other files via notepad or run some map creating tools to do so? -
Hi @Numetalfan
You created more Sea Zone's then I described. After completing the map modifications, the 'Center Picker' will need to be run. Load the old centers.txt file and remove all the centers (it looks like there are to many centers in the new sea zone, remove old and remark) that were modified, and select centers for the both new and old territories/sea zones.
Then run the 'Polygon Grabber'. Load the old polygons.txt file. You have to select all the old and new territories/sea zones one at a time and insure that the area selected is what you want. Remember Sicily and Malta were part of Italy.
Last would be the 'Placement Picker', although I think Malta would be to small for a placement, one square will cover the whole island.
One step at a time. Slow and easy. You catch on soon!
Cheers...

How are the new territories? This is what I came up with:
The labels don't look right. Its art...:anguished_face:And with a couple of units:
Keep askin'. Keep tryin'. Keep Moding!
Cheers...
-
I feel I am close to the solution, but last step, placement picker, doesn't work:
this happens when I want to load the place.txt.
for a check I added all relevant files as attachments polygons.txt place.txt centers.txt
what might the error be?
-
In the place.txt file both '14 Sea Zone' and 'Gibraltar' have bad entries, and need to be deleted from the file before it will load. You can use any text editor to do this.
In polygons.txt there is no entry for '68 Sea Zone' or '69 Sea zone'. When you run the Polygon Grabber Sea Zones 5 and 16 will need to be redone to make room for these territories.
Always trying to help!
Cheers...

Hi,
I am back and started that mod making again.
This time my new sea zone 68 makes some trouble.
in the centers.txt it's fine: 68 Sea Zone (1436,613)
as well in the polygons.txt:

when I finally start the placement picker , however, it looks like that:
which means the place.txt is wrong.Why? In the polygons grabber everything is fine:
what do I miss? What has to be done?

The 'Placement Picker' was able to run, so you are making headway. Don't worry its all a learn process!! As to your current problem, when you ran the 'Polygon Grabber' for '68 Sea Zone' did you also reselect '16 Sea Zone' to resize it to its new size. It looks like it '16 Sea Zone' is still all of the "Black Sea" while '68 Sea Zone' is the western half.
Helping hands.
Cheers...

Hi,
I found that, you were right, bu now everything worked well with the placement picker.
all my files seem well, I checked all my territories in the place, centers and polygons files. however, there is a final error message:ul 23, 2020 6:44:01 PM games.strategy.engine.framework.GameRunner lambda$start$0

Sound like the new territories are not listed in the xml. Make sure that there is a listing for each territory and that the 'Sea Zone's are marked water="true".
Also Sicily and Malta will need their separate territoryAttachment.
You should be able to test the map without have the connections fixed, but don't forget to do them.
Cheers...

true, I found several connection mistakes in the xml, all of them are now fine

at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)what ist the problem with the width and height - where do I check the current state and how to change it to the needed values?
-
This is talking about the map.properties file. This is another file that can be created by the 'Map Creator' utility, and is located in the 'map' directory.
There should have been no reason to change this file, so I am unsure what may have happened to it. Even though the 'Map Creator' can create this file, you can not 'Load' it for editing, so any text editor can be used.
But I'm worried that if 'map.width=3773' and 'map.height=1830' have been messed up, that there might be other problems. So the easiest solution would be to take a copy of the file from 'world_war_ii_v3', and replace the one in your directory.
Cheers...

YES, everything works now, no more errors.
yet, I missed some details:
as you can see the new sea zones 66,67 und 68 do exist, but they have no numbers graphically.
sea zone 16 now belongs to the western part of Black Sea, but it has no number too. even worse the "16" is located where now the SZ 68 should bethere is another problem - the whole map ist white, the territories do not have the colors of the countries, e.g. blue for Italy.
How to fix those problems?
-
@Numetalfan check the map properties. That's where the colors are. Idk about the SZ numbers
-
color settings for the map

screenshot.stats.y=1465
screenshot.stats.text.color=000000
screenshot.stats.border.color=FFFFFFthat's whats the map properties are about
-
@Numetalfan that looks fine. Obviously something else causing it. Have to wait for map Wizard wc I guess
-
Hi,
what about the naming of the sea zones, where has this to be done?
-
@Numetalfan yea idk you could check centers and make sure they're in there. I don't know much about the graphics part
-
Sea Zone numbers are done as decoration in the decorations.txt file. I personally do not like running the "Decorations Placer" under "Map Creator". Usually I just poke and guess with a text editor until it looks right.
Have you updated the smallMap.jpeg. I'm looking into what might be causing your color problems.
Back soon...
Cheers...

For the Sea Zone numbers, I have the following in the directions.txt:
b16.png (1386,641)
b66.png (1161,830)
b67.png (1107,735)
b68.png (1480,641)
b69.png (1333,227)Make sure that the images for these new Sea Zones are in the 'misc' folder.
Also Sicily and Malta:
Sicily.png (1080,769)
Malta.png (1098,801)As to the missing colors, like @beelee stated it probably has something to do with map.properties.
Cheers...

Hi,
I did all this already and it worked.
Colors: but I doubt it's the map.properties, I copied that file from the WWII_v3.
Or this copy&paste is the reason for the effect
