ad a new sea zone to an existing map
-
@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...

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,
small map fine
main map white color for the countrieswhat 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:
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?
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.
-
Hi,
this are the options:
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.
Cheers...

perfect - now it looks normal
thx -
Hi,
the new terroritories and sea zone decoration pictures do not look like the original ones
what is the
- color
- font size
- font
of those pictures, e.g. Alaska.png or b17.png
-
That I can't answer. Someone with more graphic talent may be able to help. What I did was take b56, b57, b58, and b59 copied the '6' and pasted over the '5's. Then saved each with it new name, b66, b67, b68 and b69.
For Sicily and Malta I did just about the same. Cut and copied letters until I found something that look right.
That's the best I can tell you.
Cheers...

Hi,
I created a new sea zone and a new country in the Asian area,
however an island right to French Indochina is white - why?
everything else works with the new zones!
-
The island is part of French Indochina Thailand. When the polygon file was redone, the island was not selected. To fix while in 'Island Mode' reselect French Indochina Thailand and the island together.

Hainan was part of China, not of Indochina.
Of course, in this game it can be part of whatever else, if anything, just be sure that connects propertly.
-
In the game 'Hainan' does not exist, and there are no Chinese owned territories close enough to graft it to. It could be like 'Malta' and removed from the Japanese as part of 'French Indochina Thailand' and given to the Chinese as it own territory.
Those choices are your!:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

here we go again,
this time I added a new sea zone and changed a border.
this is how my base image looks:
thats how I wanted it,
but - after I start the game it looks different:
and
this means, some other images are also important - which?
What else has to be done next to changing the base image to have the changes I want? -
it is only a graphical problem, the game it self works fine, no problem with centers, place or polygons !
-
Even if the game works perfectly the graphic issue must something to do with either older polygons or base tiles.
