KGCM 4.3 NEW WORLD QUESTION

[AQUILIFIER]

Hi,

I have been wondering: how to make the New World accessable only to late, post-gunpowder ship like caravell, carrack etc, so that you would be able to discover it AFTER "World is Round" event. Also, how to hide the Americas on the mini-map until the "world is round", like in vanilla medieval 2. Does anyone know how to do this? If you do, please write.

you can make it by script that revers to event World is arround.

Also, how to hide the Americas on the mini-map until the "world is round"

you need to start your campaign_script using line

 restrict_strat_radar false 

You also need to edit map_fog.tga

Thanks about the help. I hid America, but how should that access script look like. Could you please write the lines needed?

You need to put deep sea in your map between Americas and old world because only heavy ships can cross it.
You can block the heavy ships availability by a historic event such as world is round event, check vanilla for this, fairly easy.

As for hiding americas on map, paint that area black in the map_fog.tga, & delete map.rwm file to view the changes.

& delete map.rwm file to view the changes.

The above if you haven't already and start a new campaign.


Also you could make sure the Cog has this red entry, it needs to be light not heavy, iirc this can affect sea/ocean travel too.

It is done. All of it worked. Thanks to all for the help .

Thank you. I'll try the water thing right away. As for the hiding, I have already succeded with it.

I painted the area between the old world and the americas to be deep sea (red-64, green-0, blue-0) and converted the same file ( map_ground_types) to tga, but there is no change in access - i can still reach the new world by a simple cog. What should i do?
