[Tool] Vic3 Mapper

[Licarious]

This program generates several maps using a few input folders from Vic3.
Those maps individual RGOs with state based building capacity:

Blank maps for provinces, states, and regions:

Colored and named maps for states and regions:

Use:
1. Copy the following files/folders from Victoria 3 into the _Input folder:
1a. default.map, provinces.png, and state_regions folder from map_data.
1b. strategic_regions from common folder.
2. Run bin\Debug\net6.0\Vic3MapCSharp.exe, this will take about 5 minutes to create all the maps.
3. Look at maps in _Output folder.

Thanks for making this. Unfortunately, when I run the shortcut (as administrator), the program seems to immediately end. Unsure if I'm missing something.

Turns out I forgot to add a relative path to the shortcut. The exe that it should be targeting is bin\Debug\net6.0\Vic3MapCSharp.exe
I will see about correcting that oversight

This is very cool.

I have pushed an update out to fix this issue when trying to use out of bounds values for colors.

1.0.1 runs flawlessly now. Many thanks for the app.

Seems to just close for me instantly after opening the command - both from _RunMe.bat and Vic3MapCSharp.exe manually

Both releases work for me and produce identical maps based on Vanilla 1.0.6, and while the resulting Province_Blank.png and prov_border.png are not byte identical, the images themselves are. So it's not necessarily something Licarious missed...

You need the .net framework 6 to make it run.

Just wanted to say these maps are super awesome, thanks for this tool! People in the discord have been appreciating the heck out of the maps generated by it. Such a great way to visualise resource distribution.

Great tool!
I'm wondering if it would be possible (and not much work) to add a list of the total amount of each resource to the outputs.

 

[Blackthorn23]

Fantastic tool. Possible to make a setting to show more than one resource on the same map? Would help trying to maximize early limited expansion potential, trying to find multiple needed resources in same location/close proximity.

Even better than that would be a CSV of the resource potentials for each province. That could be pulled into a spreadsheet and many things could be done with it…

That CSV file was in the build I pushed up yesterday.

Awesome! Thank you for traveling back in time to implement my request!

Hi,

This is great. Could you do the same for the Victorian Flavor Mod? Tried replacing the relevant files in the _input section but it keeps crashing.

I glanced over VFM flies and fixed several edge cases that were causing issues. Lets see if the latest release works for you.

Thanks for the tool

One hint for all who want to use this: You need to have the exact .NET framework version installed. For example, right now Licarious uses 6.0.13 in his Github repository, if you just install 6.0.15 (which is currently the most recent version), the tool won't work - you need 6.0.13. See https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

I don't think it works with the most recent map release.
