How to Create Land Bridges?

**Jesus_saves** · 06-04-2007, 01:09

On a related note does any one know how to get rid of land bridges? I tried getting rid of the Sicily-Italy one in the 'regions' file but nothing happened (I also deleted the map.rwm FYI).

Alterations to the coastlines in the map can't be made in just one file. There are alot of files that have to be changed.

if possible can you tell us these files?

Also map.rwm should be deleted if you want to have them to work. You might want to back it up tough, you need it if you want to play MP.

Bump. Would it be possible for someone to explain very simply how the map_heights thing has to work? Because I can't understand how landbridges are possible in EB even when the terrain seems to be two pixels apart (e.g. the one in western Peloponnese). Thanks!

Seconded. I've read every thread I can find concerning land bridges (including the "how to make real rivers and land bridges) one, and seriously, none of them actually tell us how it's done. Maximum gratitude to anyone who can provide a short guide.

I've been trying for days to create some landbridges in Lusted's TE mod, and have also had no success, even though I copied the changes from other mods that have landbridges exactly. I've deleted map.rwm, corrected map_heights, map_regions, and map_groundtypes, but, nothing seems to make any difference.

Could one of the EB people please tell us how they made their landbridges, step by step, please?

I guess Uranos should know. maybe you could ask him.

Look closely at this picture (I've zoomed in pretty much):

Excerpt from MAP_REGIONS in \base folder.

Look again. You see how the landbridges are done?

If you want the full tutorial: it's in the scriptorium.

Do not just read post 1, read this one too.
