    Default Can't add hidden resources to patched M2TW?

    ive been trying to add hidden resources to provinces in both the kingdoms campaigns and to the original mtw2 campaign (adding them to the hidden resource line in export_descr_buildings and then to the world/maps/base descr_regions to the provinces i want them in) but when i try to run the original mtw campaign, it freezes up then goes back to the main menu, and when it check the error log there are hundreds of errors, mostly all about certain tgas missing and settlements not found/"can't create port at this settlement". the only thing i edited was the export_descr_buildings and descr_regions files, and i didnt delete anything except the map.rwm and map_heights.hgt, which is what you're supposed to do when you add new hidden resources. all the other [kingdoms] campaigns work fine when i do this, but the original campaign doesn't. i did this same thing fine before the kingdoms patched it to 1.03, anyone else having this issue or know what im doing wrong? thanks.

    Yeah the problem is the vanilla map is bugged, it has a few heights errors near Ragusa (port error) and on Crete (resource placement error) which you have to fix first.

    No thing is everything. Every thing is nothing.

    In the map_heights file, there are a few pixels that are RGB 0 0 0. This colour is not allowed in this file and is causing your crashes. They need to be changed to 1 1 1.

    Check your error log. It gives the general location of these areas. But when I did this, I think I just manually looked for the 0 0 0 pixel. Not sure if there's an easier way to find them.
