      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:

          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...

              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:

                italy.PNG

                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 be

                there 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

                    values must be a 6 digit hex number

                    color.Italians=394d86
                    color.British=916400
                    color.Americans=5a5a00
                    color.Russians=af2828
                    color.Germans=5a5a5a
                    color.Japanese=e6b937
                    color.Chinese=4a7300
                    color.Neutral=e87112
                    color.Impassable=d8ba7c

                    map.hasRelief=true
                    map.width=3773
                    map.height=1830

                    should we draw territory names

                    map.showTerritoryNames=false

                    screenshot overlay stuff

                    screenshot.title.x=100
                    screenshot.title.y=50
                    screenshot.title.color=000000
                    screenshot.title.font.size=20
                    screenshot.stats.enabled=true
                    screenshot.stats.x=560
                    screenshot.stats.y=1465
                    screenshot.stats.text.color=000000
                    screenshot.stats.border.color=FFFFFF

                    that'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

                                  Hi,

                                  still have the graphical problems,
                                  colors2.PNG

                                  small map fine
                                  main map white color for the countries

                                  what might be the reason for that effect?

                                    @Numetalfan said in ad a new sea zone to an existing map:

                                    YES, everything works now, no more errors.

                                    yet, I missed some details:

                                    You have to open the relief tiles... find the tiles where the numbers should go... and draw them in manually with a graphics program.

                                      @Numetalfan If I had to guess I am thinking you saved the relief tiles with a solid white background... if you turn off "show reliefs" in game and can see the actual colours when they are off. That will confirm my suspicions.

                                        THX for the advice,
                                        that problem was already solved.

                                        my last problem is the one with the white color all over them map, see the screenshot.

                                          I don't see relief options

                                            @Numetalfan I think @Hepps is suggesting that you turn of 'Show Map Details' and see if the country colors will show on the map.

                                            There is no easy fix for this. You would need to redo the relief tiles.

                                            Let us know.
