How do I define the points in the 'polygons.txt' file?

You dont.

Also there are no negative coordinates, the map is treated as if no wrap around existed, except for below.

The wrap around map edges will share a vertical map line, one to the left one to right.
You then need to stitch the wrap around TT/SZ manually together with connections in the xml like so;
<connection t1="Chihuahua-Durango" t2="Mexico City"/>
<connection t1="Acapulco-Chiapas" t2="Sinaloa-Guadalajara"/>
<connection t1="064 Sea Zone" t2="011 Sea Zone"/>
<connection t1="064 Sea Zone" t2="028 Sea Zone"/>

In map.properties this must be true
map.scrollWrapX=true

That should work.

[GREGOREK]

<connection...> just facilitates the movement between separate territories.

Is there a way to declare two separate territories and then join them so the game treats them as a single territory?

This would get around the hard map borders limiting wrapped territory definitions, and getting rid of the ugly common vertical/horizontal map border lines.

For example a territory defined overlapping the top-left corner would get defined as four separate territories to fall completely within the map borders. Then a [join command] stitches the pieces back together making a truly seamless fully wrapped map.

@GREGOREK

I don't think that is possible. Its the vertical/horizontal map border lines or no wrapping.
Maybe someone else can help?

@TheDog You can't do it in the xml file. You need to do it in polygons.txt. Here is New Zealand in World War II v3.

@RogerCooper THANK YOU

The polygons.txt defines the separate zones to get player-colored (will have a single pixel black border), and the overlay reliefTiles can hide that hard edge border to give the appearance of fully wrapped irregular territories.

[GREGOREK]

Frustration mounting. Carved up territories where they overlap map boundaries. All looking good with a few exceptions. The problem is no reliefTiles displaying. So, I purged the territory boundaries and just registered squares for each around centers. Just to get them out of the discussion, should an error there have some impact on the display not using the reliefTiles. All defined exactly like Jurassic, et al. Very simple map.properties file with a single player (alone) and game unit (nobody). The scroll works but no baseTiles or reliefTiles. All folders present and unzipped in downloadedMaps folder to get better debugging messages.

color.alone=ff9f40
color.Neutral=333333
color.Impassable=000000
units.scale=1.00
map.hasRelief=true
map.scrollWrapX=true
map.scrollWrapY=true
map.showCapitolMarkers=false
map.width=5120
map.height=5120

Note: If neanderthal is zipped in the downloadedMaps folder then I get an error polygons.txt cannot be found, even though it's in the map folder. Extract the zip in place and error goes away. I've basically cloned jurassic to make neanderthal. It has to be something simple overlooked. Any insights?

Just checking you have View> Show Map Details TICKED

@TheDog
it's checked and debug console empty.
I ordered a Ouija board from Amazon.

[GREGOREK]

This is irritating.

I turned off the surrounding territories by replacing their boundary with a simple square. Then did all, except for the two offending cells. Removed duplicate pixels in other loops. Reduced all cells by averaging every three pixels (with an integer snap) to get rid of 'staircases'. Same Result.

Dumped their data into a separate display. Look fine. Bright light, crosses, I dont know what else to try. Note: these loops are the first in each of the associated territory's polygons.txt definition. One houses its territory center. The other does not. Doesnt seem to matter.

The reliefTiles also continue to annoy. Sparse forum posts on the subject. I'm going to try finding TripleA cache files with Neanderthal in the name and deleting them. Maybe some legacy data preventing their display.

[GREGOREK]

reliefTiles are now displaying.
I have once again brought shame to my family.

still have the two territories not displaying all their parts as posted above.
