Creating Land Mass

[J@mes]

that is possible seems you have only create one new region tracking down a text error should not be to much of a problem but normally the error log would catch this, by the looks of it if you have create a new region there does not seem to be a city on that island.

[krycek]

will this tutorial recieve any update J@mes? i really want to get back into modding.

[krycek]

question regarding this tutorial if i'm not using the kingdoms patch where does the heights.hgt file generate? i cannot find it, would this stop my map from loading up?

This file is not required for the map generation. Your map will load without it.

Updated tutorial here for you guys who only have GIMP.

I need your help. I'm trying to create some islands in the Atlantic, but every time I try to start a campaign after modding the files, the game "crashes" - goes to the main menu again.

The island I'm trying to create is easily noticed, near the coast of Marrocco. The map files are in the attached rar, please have a look.

The system.log just says that the game can't create London (which is the very first city in the descr_strat settlement list) in the specified tile. If I use the default files of the mod, the game loads file, no problem with London or any other city.

Btw, I've used Paint.net. I don't think it was the problem, since it has all the required tools.

So, can you help me with this?

It appears the coastline of your map_regions does not match the one in map_heights. That will cause ports to be placed in invalid positions, causing your error message.

It appears the map_regions coastline is misplaced by one pixel down and one pixel right.

You can easily check that by indexing map_heights and then reducing it to the size of your map_regions. Name it map_heights_small and overlay it with map_regions and you will see the margin.

How To Create A New Region

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1019

Download the map_heights.zip from the Attachments, unzip it into your mod (Vanilla version) and delete map_heights.hgt and map.rwm. That should solve the problem.

[Gigantus]

These two errors go together:

You have got a building (port) in the descr_strat, but you have not got a valid (or none) port in your map_regions file.
Remove the building in descr_strat or add the port in the map_regions file.

If you are working with the 'vanilla' map then I guess it is the port of Ragusa. The pixel of the port needs to be moved one pixel down.

[Itachi Uchiha]

does any of you guys have xfire? so i can send u files maybe u take a look at it? if u have time that is. i am really not understanding the problem at hand.
cannonfodder, i dont know what you're talking about for downloading, i find no downloading options from that url, nor from the actual post of xerxes in that thread. and gigantus, i dont understand what you mean because the file works just fine before it was modded for landmass.

im getting frustrated and (edit: angry), some one please help me.... i did wat u said and changed ragusa's port down, that messed it up even more....

[Gigantus]

The problem at hand stems from vanilla: even if you simply delete the map.rwm file in vanilla without changing anything you will get this error. This is due to the fact that someone at CA changed the map_regions file after generating that map.rwm file.

That error was in line 1064. You fixed it and now you have a new error in line 1079. Noticed the different line numbers? That's what the log is for: it points you in the direction of the error.
Open the mentioned descr_strat file with notepad. Press Ctrl+G (make sure wordwrap is not ticked, else it won't work) and enter that line number. Check which region it is. Disable the port building like this:

;    building    
;    {        
;        type port port
;    }

Each of the four lines has a semicolon in front to prevent the game from reading the entry. Now start your game and have a look again. If the error is fixed, try shifting the port on the map_regions graphic file.

im getting frustrated and pissed off

Welcome to the wonderful world of modding - and profane language will not get you anywhere.

PS: to make it easier for people to help you, only copy lines of your log that contain [error]. Nobody is going to scroll down miles to read two posts.

How To Create A New Region

The Attachment I uploaded is on page 25 post 487 of the above link.

[Itachi Uchiha]

freaking beast, you guys are great. thank you very much for your help, i fixed the problems using the solutions you two provided, thank you very much.

now ima make the island of Numenor in the Atlantic for the Byzantine Empire LOL

[Gigantus]

One is glad to be of service

[Itachi Uchiha]

this is MyMod that i made all these regions for. these are my 3 files, the ones used in making landmass. unfortunately, wenever i make some land, m2tw keeps crashing to my desktop, and saying unspecified error reporting in my errorlog thingy.

[Gigantus]

These maps don't help much: map_heights or map_ground_types will not cause a crash unless they are the wrong size, and that would be in the log. Map_regions is in jpg format which 'smudges' the colors and does not allow to see if there are errors. On its own it is difficult to see errors there.
Possibilities with map_regions: a stray pixel with a color that is neither sea nor listed in descr_regions. The count of regions plus sea exceeds 200.
Other possibilities: error in drawing rivers in map_features.

1. Please specify what you mean by 'making land'
2. does the map work before making those changes?

[Itachi Uchiha]

those are the ones that work, wen i change them to look like these, with the star on the west coast of europe, it crashes and says an unspecified error has occurred.







btw, they are jpg format so i can upload to photobucket and show them on here, normal format is tga.

[Gigantus]

Have you tried to create the landmass and use the color of an existing region (without new town and port obviously). That way you can be sure if the error is with the map_regions file. Have you counted the existing regions? It sure looks as if you might have too many.
Upload the working descr_regions file and we can have a look.
