Map Question - Terra Incognita

[Krantz]

Hi i am working on a new map for a Mod i am Planning to launch.
But i have got some problem when working on it.
I now wonder if some one can tell me what i have done wrong!
"Terra Incognita"

I have no experience about creating maps, but I would guess that you have to add those provinces to that specific kingdom's discovered provinces? I would (almost) bet that if you would take an explorer/conquistador and send him to that territory it would be standard land?
By the way, the map looks great. Looks like Skåne/Karlskrona to me.

I don't really know what the problem is supposed to be here, some more information would be nice... You point to the big blob of terra incognita, but if there is no id specified under it other than 0 (=PTI) it will always be PTI. If you refer to the weird clouds of PTI in other parts of 'Sweden' (it is Sweden right?) then either there are junks of 0-id in id-map again around which are showed as PTI, or you use the map in moddir, which does not work for terra incognita for some reason - you must use maps in separate installs only.

Hmm, okay! Perhaps it was too little information.
I point on the position whit the mouse, because I wanted to show the Terra Incognita Tag. But I refer to the weird clouds of PTI in Skåneland.

Hmm junks on the ids-Layer. Very Interesting! Then I shall take a look on the Ids Layer.

Hmm, "or you use the map in moddir”? More information would be nice!

"The map looks great" Thanks Klas_Knas! If you want more information, you can look on this site: EU2 Mod: Scandza

Hi again, I have now searched throw the Layers, But haven’t found any wrong.
When I injected the layers in to the .eu2map format, I used this commando in Image: /R:3 /PEDANTIC
If that commando works it shouldn’t be any wrong, OR?
But I have found something wrong in Lightmap 2 whit Wisk’s Editor!
When i removed the Shading in my map, it worked nice in Wisk's Editor.
But still a problem in EU2.

I have also tested to build a sea around Skåneland, so that the junks can take another way. But it didn't work!

"or you use the map in moddir"

Hmm, Before i should go to work i tested to place the map in the orginal EU2 Map and it did work better. But now two provinces have got all Terra Incognita.

He he, the sun lights up my mod again.

Perhaps it works better if I remove the lakes in the two provinces?

 

[Kasperus]

First of all do not use maps in moddir (if my previous post wasn't clear on that, I hope this one is ) It does not work since terra incognita is taken from the map in standard folder instead of the one in moddir folder. Which is as yet unfortunately unfixed, to my knowledge even in 1.09.

Second, I do believe your map still has a small wrong 0-id ion the 2nd province from above (a small 'cloud' of TI indicates usually 1 or 2 wrong pixels in the game)

Third, you must always change terrain in province.csv to a 0-6 value before you import the map to the game. If terrain is 7-9 the game will recognize it as something else, like PTI thus. Also, if you specify a lake as terrain 6 (=river), it will get clouds of PTI on about 10 pixels from the coast to the middle (it is apparently a 'works as designed'-thing). Only if you specify it as terrain 5 (=sea) the TI will be gone, but then the lake will not be passable by armies.

Fourth, are you also sure that the provinces under terra incognita are udner PTI and not just scenario-TI? Test that with the 'columbus'-cheat. If they are under PTI, the problem is either terrain, or id-map.

I have found the wrong id on the second province from above. Now fixed!
How to change terrain I now!
I have also corrected the lakes and the two provinces to the right.

I want to thank you a lot for the help. You are great Kasperus!
