I can't help you with your problem if you just silently despise other users
Well. I Never fixed the problem. But ended up magicly conjuring a new problem instead. Now it crashes on loading graphics. After a few hours of staring at the problem and getting no where I am willing to let you try.

(Before you ask. It is a test map. I decided it would be best to make sure I know what I am doing before investing a ton of time into making a map and then rage quitting when i can't make it boot.)

Currently a mapfiller-generated mod might not work 100% correct in the beta patch. The problem is that now the comment from the definitions.csv must matched the province (file) name in history/province. If you have provinces with special characters in their names they will not show up as playable counties.
I'll provide a tiny fix for that shortly.

Replace the water with white on your provinces.bmp and see if it gets better.
Also the holding type is supposed to be written like this: Vestisland (B) and not like this: Vestisland {B}
It crashs with either. I had white at first (Thought that would work) didn't. Tried an actual province. Same result.

Say what you will but the gigantic size of the map is bound to be the problem. Make a seazone around Iceland and make all the water white including lakes. If it fails to load up it is not an issue with the map filler tool but with the map files.
Consider to read my other tutorial (if you haven't yet): http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...Total-Conversion-Map-Modding-Clans-of-Ireland
Did you solve your problem(s)?
Good to see that you're on it
Before the beta patch, I had a similar issue already though, where the game just wouldn't load title history of provinces starting with Þ, which proved a bit bothersome as I was doing Norway. I also noticed you turn ð into d in file names, may I suggest dh instead?
I believe the game has issues with filenames with 'odd' characters in them. The base game limits itself to a-z, A-Z, 0-9, space, dash, dot, & apostrophe. The devs even went to the effort of converting the province names in map/definitions.csv, since the game now apparently uses that to reference the province files.Good to see that you're on it
v15 -> http://www.mediafire.com/download/edc2qxvycibbe6e/CK2Tools-v15.7z
---------------------------
- The aforementioned fix for the beta changes
- ð normalized to dh
- slightly improved holding default adjectives
I also wrote an inverse map filler that takes a mod's information and puts it into the spreadsheet form the map filler tool uses. Technically included but not hard to use without consulting me.
As always: Please test and give feedback and suggestions

So what should I be doing with the holy site stuff? should I be doing {holy_site=pagan}? or is it something else?
derpington (T) { holy_site = pagan }
and
derpington (T) { holy_site = pagan | holy_site=other_pagan }
for more than one.
Alternatively make a file zz_holy_sites and put in something like this:
b_derpington = {
holy_site = pagan
}
b_constantinople = {
holy_site = orthodox
}
... thereby bypassing the map filler tool altogether (in a nice and concise way).

Thank you so much JonStryker, I have been reading your posts all over the forums and they have helped me so much. Your tools are great as well as your tutorials. It took me quite a few trials to get it right but I finally got a custom map working
Its very rough right now, once its more refined I'll upload a screenshot

I'm having trouble using this tool, it won't create anything in history/titles. Everything else looks like it's working fine.

Thanks for the praise :wub:
Looking forward to the screenshots!

That is not enough information to figure out what is going on with your mod.
I think I must just be really confused about how to use this tool and am missing something obvious, although I was able to use earlier versions with no problem. I have the exact same problem when I tried to follow along with your Map Modding guide (which is awesome by the way!).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/slqu1a50q3u1742/Ireland_chapter2.rar?dl=0 This is your example mod from the end of chapter 2 with the history, localization and common folders deleted. When I run mapfiller.bat it creates landed_titles.txt, localization, history/provinces and history/technology all seemingly fine. However it does not create a history/titles folder. At first I thought it was because of the addition of climate types to provinceDef.xls but adding a climate column doesn't help. What am I getting wrong here?
