Making a new campaign map.

[Makanyane]

This problem can be solved by using the corrected_regions.tga map, if I'm not wrong.

you would be right for RTW - but the guy posting the problem files was actually in wrong forum (doing map for M2TW) which doesn't have a corrected regions file......... so he's stuck with resizing and trying to get coasts to match using layer / selection method. But otherwise yep.

Sorry I didn't remark you were speaking on M2TW.
In any case, it is crazy that one RTW feature interesting for modders has been eliminated in the following game of the saga.

I hi am new and one question. What program do i need to open and edit .tgas?

[Makanyane]

welcome to the forums garrett4390

If you already have a good image editing program like PaintShopPro or PhotoShop or Photoshop Elements they will open .tga's. The cost money though so if you don't already have one try GIMP which is free. I also saw someone else recommend paint.net recently (also free) but haven't tried that myself.

Hi guys very new to this I'm trying to produce as the instructions here but keep getting an error message.

"Generic Error Regions_DB;;default faction for region (5) isnt present in the descr_strat.txt file"

I know I must have done something wrong but cant work it out.

Can any one help please

Greetings Hannibal Smith, welcome to the forum

that probably means you aren't using all the factions in your descr_strat file - its fine to do that - but if you don't include a faction in that, you can't then use them as the faction creator in the descr_regions.txt file that's the third line down in the regions entry like

Tribus_Saxones
Bordesholm
germans
Saxones
232 41 55
timber, slaves, amber, dogs, pigs
5
3

check that file and make sure you aren't using anyone you don't have in strat....

[Hannibal Smith]

Thankyou very much, it works now

I make sure I only post once in future. thanks again.

I don't know or it's said before, but if you want to know coordinates of a settlement or anything else, use ~ and then: show_cursorstat
And I have a question: is the collor of map_roughness important? I have a black map with the right size. Same question about map trade routes

[Aradan]

Both are unused afaik, just leave them black.
