ad a new sea zone to an existing map

Hepps

@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 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?

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

Hepps

@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.

Numetalfan

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.

Numetalfan

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.

@wc_sumpton

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

@Numetalfan

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!

@Numetalfan

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.

wc_sumpton

@Numetalfan

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?

Numetalfan

it is only a graphical problem, the game it self works fine, no problem with centers, place or polygons !

Schulz

Even if the game works perfectly the graphic issue must something to do with either older polygons or base tiles.

Numetalfan

the question is:

is it suffienct to just change the base image, or do I need to use the tile breaker after that or what else?

Schulz

You need to use image breaker from new base image then creating new baseTiles than recreating polygons of East Poland and Baltic States

Numetalfan

polygon grabber solved the porblems - this problem is solved !

thx @all
