Creating Land Mass

[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.

these ones work. i am using same color of existing region (palermo) and its not working.

[Gigantus]

Something is certainly wrong. If you create a landmass in map_heights, the game will automatically allocate texture\color even if you are not doing anything with map_ground_types and map_regions. Try that: only add to map_heights. You are deleting map.rwm every time, aren't you?

ok, i finally got it to work. i took ur advice and just loaded the map_heights one without the other 2 modded and it worked, it appears that i had the black shaded 13 13 13 instead of 7 7 7. then i brought in map_ground_types and it appears they were fine. they matched. then i checked out map_regions and put it against map_ground_types and map_heights, it was completely mis matched, the island was not in order. i fixed it, deleted rwm, loaded it and it worked...

i want to thank you so much for helping me out, i appreciate your time, patience, wisdom, and knowledge. thank you.

now to make the faction of numenor and its provinces lol.

I've found a few base folders, D:

Anyway, I think I removed the right one but now I just crash on loading a campaign

You can delete them all. Which mod you start, it will generate a new one for that mod.

What did you change?

What does the system,log.txt show?

I'm using SS 6.3. Er, where is systemlog?

[irishron]

It's in the logs folder and I have not downloaded SS 6.3. Right now, I don't have the time on this slowpoke connection.

I don't know why but my internet freezes up when I try to post my system log or pm it... I'll keep trying.

[Gigantus]

Compress the log and then attach it (advanced mode).

[Chocolate]

Ok, here it is. Thanks for the help!

[irishron]

What did you mod? It looks map_regions.tga to me.

[Gigantus]

Nothing in the log, but the log stops after accessing the map_regions file. So I guess it will a map error.

Have you done anything before deleting map.rwm? If so, please explain.

I followed the tutorial and added an island in the mediterannean. I was using GraphicsGale not Photoshop, but I'm pretty sure I did it right. Would it help if I posted the three files?

[irishron]

Did you save them in 32but .tga?

If so, yes.

Er, not sure. Sorry I'm not that amazing with tech. Anyway, here they are:

When I did this, it said I have encountered an unspecified error.


EDIT: UGH! For some reason even though I backed up my files, my whole game stopped working AGAIN. Now whenever I play it, it says I have that stupid ing Unspecified error. This is about the 13th time I had to uninstall the whole game with the expansions!!!!!
