Modifying Straits

[wilcoxchar]

Sorry to ask this, but could someone please tell me how to modify straits with the newest beta patch? Do you just modify the straits.csv file or... Thank you.

 

[Djambo]

Just edit the map/adj-defs.csv and put in or remove the straits you want.

The rocks indicating the strait are in the db/straits.csv. Those are more difficult to add/remove, because they use a not visible x/y-grid on the map.

The numbers inside db/straits.csv refer to the individual stones in the respective straits. The coordinate system starts from the top left of the map (somewhere close to the Aleuts or Yukon):

Thank you. Now I feel like adding various straits such as connecting Tierra del Fuego to the mainland and connecting the Canaries to the mainland.

EDIT: What does the Through category mean?

 

[kaytaz]

"Through" is the province ID of the sea zone that is running through the straits. There is an explanation of the values in the following thread, http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=195445

Karelia problem?

Anyone else noticed a problem with Karelia? It seems like you can no longer move from Kexholm or Olonets to Karelia but you can move FROM Karelia. There are a couple of entries in adj-defs.csv for this labelled "bugfix". I notice that if I swap the two province numbers on each of these lines then you can move to Karelia but red lines appear on the province borders.

Very strange, tried it myself and it performed just like you said. Fixing one bug to create another. :wacko:

Yeah, I tried the same thing. Those red lines are bugging me too. It's weird.

Just tried to add two more lines having the province ids reversed. Now there is free movement between all three provinces, but the red line is still there
