Campaign map creation

[rich19]

I don't think it has anything to do with a port. At first there was no port, but I added one to see if it would solve the problem. It didn't.

I'll check back tomorrow then. Thanks, I really appreciate this.

Just remember that an error message like that one just means that somewhere before that line is the error, so in this case any line in the file could be the culprit.

Found one thing that gives exactly that error in RTW1.5 - 'could not create settlement at line xxx (last in descr_strat) at (0,0)'. That is having one or more pixels of a colour on your map_regions.tga that doesn't belong to any region in descr_regions, i.e. you've now got more colours than regions in the map. Could be you've managed to use some non-opaque brush and hence got a mix of colour - or just that you hit the map somewhere with brush tool when you had wrong colour on selector, umm, etc...

could possibly also be if your port or city pixel is not pure colour ie. 0,0,0, or 255,255,255 but didn't test that one.

Don't know if GIMP has the function but there is useful check for that in PaintShopPro in that you can use, count colours used function, to check that after having say added one region you have only one more colour on map than the version you started from did.

If that doesn't help perhaps you could zip and upload the files and give a link to them?

No, I checked and there was a section on map_regions in the sea a very slightly different colour. It works now! Thanks ever so much! Is there any sort of rep/reward system on these forums?
