Problem with map coordinates (SOLVED)

**Miguel_80** · February 07, 2018, 02:51 PM

Hello. I have a problem with the "spawn army" in Age of Charlemagne. The coordinates of the map in Custom Battle are not correct. Does anyone know where I can check the true coordinates of the map? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Coordinates entered in the script:

LEON

LINCOLN

RESULTS:

LEON

LINCOLN

The Rome II Total Realism's team scripting toolkit might help you create a co-ordinates logger. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.../?id=287927364
The modder DETrooper (who I linked you to in the previous post you made) made a co-ordinates logger for historical battles that he and I used to create a few custom historical battles, so I imagine it can also log campaign map co-ordinates somehow.

Thank you very much Caligula! This mod is very interesting to create personalized messages and other details what interests me.

About the coordinates of Attila follows the same problem, doesn't give me the correct numbers the map of "Custom Battle". I'll have to test the coordinates by eye, hehehe! I need know the real dimensions of the campaign map. The one that comes out in the "Custom Battle" is of 1000x1000 pixels, but is not correct.

EDIT:

I don't have a clue whether this is at all helpful to you (and honestly, it's probably not) but I've got a really makeshift co-ordinate "logger" that works fairly well. I only use it for Historical Battles though, so it probably doesn't work for campaigns, but it might give you a few ideas. This is for the vanilla campaign, so even more useless for Age of Charlemagne but here we go.

Take a screenshot of the Historical Battle screen.

Open it in Photoshop or something, and then create put this image on top of the other one in a layer.

Then drag a square from the location you want, to where the black/white/yellow lines meet, eg:

That box is 200x110 pixels, which are your X and Y co-ordinates. It works perfectly for calculating the position of historical battle UI locations, I've got no idea how it will work for the campaign.

Good luck lols.

SOLVED. I have found the real size data in the map_data.esf file.

P.S: Good method Caligula. The problem with the AoC is that the maps in graphic format that are included in the DLC don't have the same dimensions.

Would you like me to add your method to the Modder's Hub?
Is it basically just draw a box from the top left and those are your co-ordinates? Eg London is at x=322 y=266 https://i.imgur.com/tqR6VrE.jpg

Yes of course. If for someone it can be useful, add it.

A little detail. On maps, the 0 coordinate of Y starts at the bottom. That is, to calculate correctly you have to flip the image vertically.

Code:

cm:create_force("cha_fact_kent", "cha_gen_armoured_spear,cha_gen_armoured_spear,cha_gen_armoured_sword", "cha_reg_gallicia_oviedo", 165, 275, "ARMY04_ID", true);
