Modding the map

[Slaxl]

Has anyone tried modding the map in the demo? Would anyone be willing to make a super-guide on how it's done in step-by-step detail? I tried it in Sengoku and just couldn't get it to work.

I have done it. Check the Lotharingia mod in my signature. I will make a detailed tutorial when the game is released.

Yes, I am working on a map, but it's hard to work through the errors involved with extending the map when you have neither Module-functionality or error reports.

Cool thanks.

I've done some tweaking with provinces around the Levant area. From what I've seen so far, the the provinces.bmp and rivers.bmp are the same as they are in EU3: Divine Wind. What's changed from DW, ( I think, atleast) is the positions.txt file. The entries now look like this:

#Vestisland
1=
{
	position=
	{
		130.000 1777.000 139.000 1794.000 121.000 1790.000 136.000 1833.000 126.000 1771.000 
	}
	rotation=
	{
		0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 1.222 
	}
	height=
	{
		0.000 0.000 0.000 20.000 0.000 
	}
}

The only entry I've had to change is the first two 000.000 numbers, which represent X and Y positions for the city sprite. At a guess, some of the other numbers positions the unit sprite and text centre. And like in Divine Wind you have to vertically flip the province map to get the correct positions, and then flip it back.

Hope this helps a bit. I'm not the best at explaining things.
