Mapping and other tuts and tips...

As a teammember of conquer the world (a german modification) I modify many data-files of empires and I find many solutions of my own problems.
Now I want to share my information with you. Now and then I will edit this Thread to update my informations


(1) How to "delete" the camera borders of the campaignmap.

Go into the "region.esf" to "global_map\regions.esf\root\theatres\theatres\theatre" (one of the theatres). Value 1= America, Value 2=Europe, Value 3=India, the last 4 are the trading-areas.
The campaignmap goes from the coordinate -1280;-640 to 1280;640. So you can edit the coordinates of a theatre, for example europe with ID 2 and the coordinates -180;140 and 440;520, to -1280;-640 and 1280;640.
VERY IMPORTANT: The coordinate in the second row is the point in the bottom-left vertex and the coordinate in the third row is the top-right vertex. You have to observe this.
Save the region.esf and start your game. Now you can scroll vom Europe to America and so on. This would be a important feature if we can edit the campaignmap total.
Also you can create a new Theatre, but this isn't so necessary for you yet.



I'm sorry but my english isn't so good
