Geomod Tool for Mapping

[Romanos IV]

Will you make it to be able to make a (at least flat) map from zero, please?

It's awesome as is,but if only you could and would...

Win_conditions.txt:
If I have entries for all factions then the program will delete the entries for unplayable factions. I haven't checked if that is also the case with unlockable factions.

Doesn't it make the game unstable to have unplayable faction win conditions ?

Other pitfall:
If you do not have the two lines:
unlockable
end
in your descr_strat then the program has a problem reading the file properly. (Big mess I created before I found out when checking one of my mods)

Geomod always write these two lines, even if there are no unlockable factions, don't it ?

You can edit the vanilla map to make it flat, and resize it manually, is it really a big problem ? It is not a priority for the moment, I have more urgent things to implement, I hope you understand.

Okay!

Unfortunately not, that's how I found out.

Absolutely not, they should be able to win (apart from the slaves which I always set tot take one region less then the total regions), don't they?

Well i hope this has not been pointed out all ready but here goes, i added some regions to my map then added a set of units for the factions to test it everything worked fine, so then i went back to descr_strat and and added another set of units for another settlement but then when i loaded map back into GeoMod it crashed on 98%.So deleted the units and everything worked again.But when i add the units back it does the same thing.Any one else ever had this?

[♔Sherlock♔]

Is there any chance of there being a RTW version of this? Or is there already something similar for RTW?

[Gigantus]

I don't think there has been any change in the files used since RTW. Small changes in the descr_strat regarding the conditions like 'night_battle_enabled' or 'free_upkeep_fort' but everything else is still the same.

[Hector Barbossa]

There was the Trivium map editor program for RTW i think it is still available for Download in the Rome Tools section.That was pretty easy and straightforward to use.

You might have copied the same co-ordinates or something like that. Anything in the error log?

[Hector Barbossa]

No nothing at all but i will try it again and see because you may be right.

[Octavius]

Maybe a syntax error or something like that. Try to respect spaces and tabs. I don't think that the error comes from Geomod itself. Maybe there is something special in this mod, I don't know. I've checked that 98% correspond to the moment where Geomod try to place the characters on the map, maybe the coordinates are offmap. I must make a subroutine to check this hypothesis.

[Hector Barbossa]

Back again yep my dumb mistake guys, coordinates were off trying to place unit in the sea.Sorry about that.

[Octavius]

No thanks, this is usefull for me, your error showed to me that there missed a coordinate checking subroutine.

I don’t know if it is in the development plan but a "undo" button or function like Ctrl + Z would be useful. Great tool btw ,,, if only could make my mod work after using it :p

[Octavius]

An undo button poses technical problems difficult to solve, it is not as easy as it seems to program such a feature.

A pitty that it is not easy.
In any case, a frequent use of save option is a good idea.

hmm,whenever I make a new region,my game will start,but when I want to chose a faction to play,it goes back to the menu.help!

[Gigantus]

Check your error log. BtM (Back to Menu) usually shows up with an explanation.

[Marko1233]

This may be a noob question,but how do I check my eror log?

[DragonsWarrior]

great tool this is can you get a tool like this for RTW
