that's a very good question, but there is too many people (me inclouded) who gets the game crashing at ~50% when loading the map and no one has been able to help us. It has been like this since the beggining

Hello, I am new to this, I was editing the map of the earth, adding a new continent in Oceania, and North Pole, but as I create the scenarios there, it also hangs and I have done everything, please help me, friend, THANK YOU

[MapSandbox 123]

@Aoc2 Amigalandescobe sure provinces do not overlap.

[Aoc2 Amigalandesco 7]

thanks, I already asked someone to help me

[Illyrian Mapping 5]

Yeah when i try to open AoC2 it just crashes, like not in the loading screen, editor or game, it crashes before the loading screen.

Adımlar:
1. Harita düzenleyiciyi indirin .
2. Tüm verileri temizleyin.
3. bg.png'yi Kopyala / Oluştur (haritanız için arka plan)
4. İl oluşturun.
5. İlk vilayeti yeni klasöre kopyalayın (Bölge PROV olarak adlandırılır ve onu tüm vilayetleri içeren klasöre taşıyın)
6. İlk vilayeti 0 olarak yeniden adlandırın (ikinciden 1'e vb.)
7. Oyun haritası klasöründe (steamapps \ common \ Age of Civilizations II \ map) şablonu kopyalayın (ve yeniden adlandırın) ve "şehirler" klasörünü temizleyin .
8. İllerinizi güncellemeye kopyalayın, \ data \ provinces(Eminim sen iller klasörüne kopyalayın gerekiyorsa değilim ama Çok çalışır: P)
9. Düzenleme config.json (kopyalanan şablon klasöründe) ve değişim değerlerini:

10. Rembmer adıyla arka plan dosyaları oluşturmak için % bgname% _L ve % bgname% _R
11. O harita okuma klasörleri harita ve makyaj oyunu çizgi eklemek için go geri:

12. Oyunu çalıştırın ve Editör> MapEditor> Bağlantıları ve İlleri Düzenle> Eklediğiniz her eyaleti güncelle seçeneğine gidin. ( ÖRNEK )
13. Tebrikler, ilk haritanızı oluşturdunuz 😛
Hala yardıma ihtiyacınız varsa, kısa video. (İşletim sistemi lehçedir , geri kalanı İngilizce'dir 😛 )

Yeni il eklerseniz  , bu ilin kıtasını  harita düzenleyicisine kontrol edin , eğer "Okyanus" ise, harita eyalet arka planının  daha düşük ölçeğini yükleyecektir  .

PROV DOSYALARI OLUŞTURMA:

  Reveal hidden contents

1. If you haven't saved your PROV files, no worries! you can bring them back 😛 , but it might take time here is how:
2. Open mapAoC2_v2.txt and search for line ID*2+1 (If you have id of missing province 100, search for line 201), this line, and line below are the lines that you need to recreate PROV file:

3. Copy them into file called ID (make sure that it isn't .txt file, because that might crash your game)
4. place after last number in first line semicolon - ;, and delete space between them.
4.1 - Before:
2020,2040,2055,2034
5000,2000,3000,4000
4.2 - After:
2020,2040,2055,2034;5000,2000,3000,4000
5. Congratulation's you have recreated your PROV file 😛

Steps:
1. Download Map editor.
2. Clear all data.
3. Copy/Create bg.png (background for your map)
4. Create province.
5. Copy first province into new folder (Province is called PROV, and move it into folder that will be containing all provinces)
6. Rename your first province to 0 (second to 1 etcetera)
7. In game map folder (steamapps\common\Age of Civilizations II\map) copy template (and rename it), and clear "cities" folder.
8. Copy your provinces into update, \data\provinces (I'm not sure if you need to copy it into provinces folder, but It works too :P)
9. Edit config.json(in copied template folder) and change values:

{
    Map: [
        {
            MapName: "%Mapname%",
            Author: "%Yournickname%",
            BackgroundName: "%bgname%",
            ContinentsPackage: "Earth6"
            RegionsPackage: "Earth_AoC2",
            NumberOfProvinces: %numberofprovinces%,
            MapScale: 3,
            WorldMap: true,
            Scenario: "testScenario",
            Wiki: "Wikipedia:Unusual_articles"
        },
    ],
    
    Age_of_Civilizations: Map
}

 

10. Rembmer to create background files with name %bgname%_L and %bgname%_R
11. go back to map folders and add line to make game read that map:

{
    Map: [
        {
            Folder: "Earth"
        },
        {
            Folder: "Ashan"
        },
        {
            Folder: "Earth_AoC1"
        },
        {
            Folder: "Kepler"
        },
        {
            Folder: "template"
        },
        {
            Folder: "%mapname%"
        },
    ],
    
    Age_of_Civilizations: Maps
}

 

12. Run game and go to Editor>MapEditor>EditConnections and Provinces>Update every province you added. (EXAMPLE)
13. Congratulation you have created your first map 😛
Short video, if you still need help. (OS is in polish, rest is in english 😛 )

If you add new province check continent of this province in map editor, if it is "Ocean" the map will load lower scale of the province background
