Conversation Between Ishan and lolIsuck

Hardcoded limit for the number of climates is 12, vanilla uses 10 which are namely:

1. alpine 57,181,74
2. highland 141,198,63
3. mediterranean 236,0,140
4. rocky_desert 146,39,143
5. sandy_desert 102,45,145
6. semi_arid 0,114,188
7. steppe 237,28,36
8. temperate_coniferous_forest 247,148,29
9. temperate_deciduous_forest 242,101,34
10. tropical 0,166,81
11. unused1 237,20,91
12. unused2 255,242,0

You can use the 2 slots that are unused. In descr_climates.txt you can mention the tree you want to use, the .cas (3D model for your tree) file that is.

Hi Ishan, another question
Is there any climate that gives you pine forest on the strat map?

Yea, I will see, first have to get a working map

Well if it's your mod then you won't have any problem in knowing the internal names but my advise would be that if you're not a hardcore modder then keep the names because if you miss an entry then it can cause a CTD and make you wonder on the actual cause, as such errors aren't logged in the report.

Ok thanks, I don't know what to do. It would make the modding a lot more pleasant to replace the names and my mod will also add about 8 factions. Since I have to do everything from scratch I could just use new names.

No they're not hardcoded, it's just simpler to rename the actual name from the expanded.txt file rather than changing the internal name in many different places, plus it helps in avoiding CTDs if something is left out by any chance.

Hi Ishan, I've got a small question:
Are the names of England, France etc. hardcoded? Because even TATW doesn't change them.

I can't be everywhere, can't believe it was right under my nose.

something might have to be done here, it's just people flaming on eachother with huge nationalistic ego's and it's totally off-topic
