Hidden resources map

[Pharnakes]

I remember there was a map that had the eb hidden resources code for each province a while ago. Anyone remember what happened to it?


Thanks.

[Maksimus]

It's in eb/data/world/base/DESCR_REGIONS.TXT

But this is with Citi mod :san_wink:

[Pharnakes]

Yeah, blacksnail used to have a map of that, though.

EDIT: Searching reveals he used to have it in his sig, but no more :no:.

Any chance of rehosting it for us Blacksnail? I realise it will be slightly out of date post 1.0 map changes, but it would still be very usefu if you or another team memeber could do this.


Thanks. :bow:

If that is the map I had downloaded some time ago it is absolutly outdated even with EB 0.8. It had completly different province codes like "West 08A" or such.

[Pharnakes]

No, the one I had in mind gave the various area codes plus the 1,2,4 and 8 values for each province. Valid for 0.8, slightly out of date for 1.0 given Babylonia and whatever the new province is.

I also had it downloaded, but it died along with my old comp. :wall:

[konny]

In this case you might have found something to do for boring Christmas days...

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

There's this one, but I don't think it is exactly what you want (and its for 08x):

[Pharnakes]

Uum, am I the only one who doesn't see anything in the tags?

[MiniMe]

To have a 0.80 map with hidden resourses on it would be great :yes:
And I also don't see it in MarcusAureliusAntoninus's post :inquisitive:

[burn_again]

I can't see it either.

Is it this one you're looking for?

No, there is nothing

[MiniMe]

Is it this one you're looking for?
http://rapidshare.com/files/76052689/mapnewnumbers7tj.gif.html
nope, we are looking for a 0.80 map with all hidden resourses that are mentioned in EDB on it

[burn_again]

OK, then I can't help, this one is all I've got :-(.

[Pharnakes]

Well, I dunno what other people are looking for, but that was exactly what I was after.

Thanks burn_again:2thumbsup:

[MiniMe]

I'm curious, why would you need that for?

[Pharnakes]

It makes editing recruitment so much easier.

And I'm curious; what did you want?

[konny]

That is the map I was talking about. I can't see how it could help; Aghvan, for example, is shown as "EA, A, 12"; but the resource is "EA, A, n1, n2, y4, y8". So, how do you get from this to that?

This should be Valid data for 1.0 Sorry but not in map form:

Thanks LorDBulA. :2thumbsup:


That is the map I was talking about. I can't see how it could help; Aghvan, for example, is shown as "EA, A, 12"; but the resource is "EA, A, n1, n2, y4, y8". So, how do you get from this to that?


Its like binary.

The numbers are 1-15.

these numbers can be made by one combination of 1,2,4 and 8.

thus: EA, A, 12

EA refers to the east, and A refers to the middle steppes.

Then; 12

can be made from 4+8 and no other combination.

thus we have NO1, NO2, Yes4, Yes8 makes n1, n2, y4, y8.

So now we have EA, A, n1, n2, y4, y8. = EA, A 12 Aghvan.


Simple once you understand it.

It makes editing recruitment so much easier.

And I'm curious; what did you want?
Same as you, though I find deciphered form, provided by Honourable LorDBulA, much easier to work with =)

oj!

And why can it not simply be "12"?

Thanks LorDBulA from me too, that makes playing around with the recruitement pool much easyer :2thumbsup: .

[Pharnakes]

Because then you would need fifteen hidden resource slots, 1-15, this way you only need 4. At least I assume that's why it's done this way.

[blacksnail]

Looks like they took care of it already, Pharnakes. I don't know exactly how different things are now but it should be easy enough to check.

Konny, there are a total of 64 hidden resources (or HRs) allowed by the RTW engine. Doing this allows us to have three major sections of map (3 HRs), five sub-sections of these (5 HRs), and up to 16 regions as part of each sub-section.

Binary numbering lets us represent the numbers 0 through 15 as Pharnakes said. We used four binary digits n1, n2, n4, and n8 (representing binary 0) as well as their opposites, y1, y2, y4, and y8 (representing binary 1) for another 8 HRs. This is a grand total of 16 of the 64 precious HRs used up in order to allow us to have EB work the way EB works.

It is possible to make this more efficient, dropping from 16 to 8. You can do exactly the same thing with the following:

bin1 bin2 bin4 bin8 bin16 bin32 bin64 bin128

Then you can have a series of stuff for each unit recruitment line stating "bin1 and not bin2 and bin4 and not bin8 and bin16 and not bin32 and not bin64 and not bin128" to get region #021. In fact, we had this system in 0.72.

The reason we jettisoned it was because it was freaking impossible for a human being to look at and easily get a sense of where a unit could be recruited. This is why you could get situations where the game allowed hastati in England, gestatae in Carthage, and baktrian horsemen in Crete - because the code was hand-edited and simultaneously unreadable.

We had roughly 30 free HRs at the time so we went with the 16 HR system because we knew if we had to, later, we could convert to something more efficient. However, we wanted something anybody could quickly reference both in the code and on the map. That's why the thing is color coded and the "A/B/C/D/E" groupings match up roughly with modern geographic regions. You can look at a unit that starts off with "requires NW and A" and immediately know it can be recruited somewhere in modern day Iberian peninsula/southern France.

I believe that the only trick to the binary is that because the binary numbers go from 0 to 15 (ie, n8 n4 n2 n1 is the same as 0 + 0 + 0 + 0, or 0) that to make it easier to read we made the "0" equivalent to 16 for purposes of human beings reading the map. That way n8 n4 n2 y1 (or 0 + 0 + 0 + 1) is always region 1 of the subsection and y8 y4 y2 y1 (or 8 + 4 + 2 + 1) is always region 15 of the subsection as well.

Does this make any sense?

Nearly, only
n8 n4 n2 n1 (or 0 + 0 + 0 + 1) should be n8 n4 n2 y1.

[konny]

Yes, thank you.

[blacksnail]

Nearly, only should be n8 n4 n2 y1.
Good catch! I'll fix that.

[blacksnail]

Yes, thank you.
Sure thing!
