Whenever I´m saving any changes tp province.csv the game will not load anymore. The error message says something about "Unable to open gfx\interface\piw\.txt".
I remember seeing that during testing, but I thought I fixed it. Maybe it has something to do with 2020-province maps; are you using one?

I´m using Aberration 4 Kasperus, which uses WatK 3.1.
All right, I'll check into it.
 
New version available (third alpha).

As far as I can tell, the problem was caused when my program wrote out lines of semicolons before any filler lines (those starting with -1). It now prints out one filler line, which should keep the game from trying to read those empty lines.
 
This might be off-topic but Third Angel are you working on getting MWATK up and running? I tried months ago but couldn't get the straits to work. If you do get it working i would be interested in helping out making scenarios for it. It looks like a cool map and its a shame it's never been used.

So any plans of putting in so we can edit all the variables in province.csv with your editor? :)
No, not at present. That would be a rather large undertaking, and I'm in my final semester of college right now.

The only improvement I am (sort of, slowly) working on is using the lightmap.tbl files instead of id.tbl, so you won't accidentally place a sprite on top of the province name. But the lightmaps are much more difficult to figure out, even with Inferis's site. I don't expect to do anything more on it until spring break next month, and even so I might just give up on it.

Any chance of porting this to HoI and Victoria?
Sure; all I need is the map dimensions and the columns of province.csv (I don't have HOI). For Victoria, I actually posted in Inferis's thread a while back to say that I could do it whenever necessary. Give me a couple of weeks, though, because I'm on vacation right now. :)
 
:confused: so the program just shows the position of items and nothing else?

how to make any changes? I can't drag and drop or anything for that matter, just look at it. :(
 
Perhaps you could make the Positions Editor more generic.

Have a file called settings.txt, with
X=936
Y=360

and a file called objects.txt, with
Code:
object = 
{
	name="Fort"
	xColumn=12
	yColumn=13
	image=
	{
		path="gfx\interface\eyr\small_forts.bmp"
		bounds={x=120 y=0 width=20 height=14}
		transparency=
		{
			color={R=0 G=255 B=0}
		}
	}
}
object = 
{
	name="Army"
	xColumn=14
	yColumn=15
	image=
	{
		path="gfx\map\units\bmp\T-ARMY C-MIN A-FIRE D-NE.bmp"
		bounds={x=0 y=0 width=64 height=64}
		transparency=
		{
			color={R=0 G=255 B=255}
			color={R=255 G=0 B=255}
		}
	}
}
object = 
{
	name="Port"
	xColumn=16
	yColumn=17
	image=
	{
		path="gfx\map\harbour.bmp"
		bounds={x=0 y=0 width=32 height=40}
		transparency=
		{
			color={R=0 G=255 B=0}
		}
	}
}

You double click the province, then you press the thing you want to change position of an dpress on the map where you want it to be. ;)
 
too easy to find by myself :rofl:

great tool indeed :)

edit:
litle bug
when you press buton to edit 4th terrain feature, 2nd one is selected.

Yes, it uses id.tbl and boundbox.tbl, since those were easiest to use (I added boundbox later). That's why I was interested in your project; I want to use lightmaps, but no one has done it in Java yet. I thought I could do it myself, but I just don't have enough time.

:(

Now the question is how will those moving provinces around change the positions?
