Sorry mate, I usually make it a principle to not fix other people's stuff for them directly.
I can try to help you if you give me a detailed description of what you did, but the first thing you should do is to undo everything and apply the changes one at a time. This will most likely deliver you with the solution.

By no means did I expect you to fix it for me, I just thought it would be easier and quicker if I showed you what I had done rather than explaining it. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression

Basically I've added most of the North American continent, the terrain map comes to 1001x851. I'm positive all the other map sizes are correct.

Firstly I was getting a CTD once the loading bar had gone all the way across, and I pinned this down to there being one giant province. Once I removed a lot of the terrain (leaving Central America) it loaded fine. So I added 19 more random provinces named one, two, three etc. I've added these to descr_sound_music_types, descr_regions, imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names, descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup and descr strat. With this last one I just copy and pasted all the stuff from your City, like buildings and stuff, to the new provinces.

You sure you don't get an error? Each settlement needs the settlement keyword before the actual tag in descr_strat

settlement
{
...
}
settlement
{
...
}

What you have is:

settlement
{
...
}

{
...
}

Thanks for pointing that out, I still get the crashes though As a matter of fact I do get a series of errors, just a log file isn't created.

Well try using the backup from before you added the provinces (always make backups of working versions by the way) and add them one by one.

Problem is that didn't work either 'cos of the size of the province, how many more do you think I'll need to add before it will?

You might want to try to make these islands one province each, but I'm not really an experienced mapper, I'm sure wilddog could tell you more about that.

Thanks for the advice Alpaca, after many hours I got the whole landmass working I did what you said and started again, adding piece at a time then trying out a province. I learnt a lot in the process, and could probably do it all again in 10 minutes now. I'll post some pics when I get it looking pretty.
