how is it works, need I add a rivers map? 

[Łukasz Jakowski 6,112]

You simply draw the provinces.

I think this will be better use when the game is released

[Mirolit 101]

What's the difference between the "main" and "MapEditor" backgrounds? Should they necessarily be different? Which one should be used when creating provinces? Both of these backgrounds are displayed side by side in the editor, which is somewhat confusing.

Sadece illeri çiziyorsunuz.

Oyun çıktığında bunun daha iyi kullanılacağını düşünüyorum

  Exactly, because there's not much point in making a map right now.

[Łukasz Jakowski 6,112]

In the main folder you have the map background that will be in the game, the main map background.

 

In the Map Editor folder you have an optional map background just for the map editor, for example if you have drawn how the provinces you want to divide.

Wow! this looks awesome, cant wait to use the new and improved map editor!

It's the same damn thing but you have to waste even more time by having to do shit with the background files, At this point I'd rather make my own map editor

[MeteHun 19]

Briefly, first line: "lPointsx" second line: "lPointsY".
Not very useful when it comes to drawing provinces (I have a better idea for the modern world).

This is accompanied by some useful resources for those considering how to implement the "Monkeys are stronger together" program.

I added a special jar file to the first post that allows you to add only cities to the map.
Here's how it works:

 

How to add city:
MapEditor_2_Cities.jar should be in the same folders as MapEditor_2.jar

# Step 1:
Just copy any text.
Ctrl + C

# Step 2:
Click on the map in MapEditor_2_Cities to set the location of the city.

# Step 3:
Enter!

Will you make a tool to generate provinces directly from pictures? aoh2 seems to have a similar tool, but it is not good enough.

yes:

Instead of drawing provinces for the modern world, it will transfer official borders with map scaling. A better map editor can be written.

After all, these svgs can be converted to png.
or can be recolored with fill.

It can already be a bit effortless with the program above.

Honestly +1 this actually it should be in the map editor considering we are making big maps

BackgroundSize_X: 0,
BackgroundSize_Y: 0,

It can't be 0. If you want to use only one image, it should be:

BackgroundSize_X: 1,
BackgroundSize_Y: 1,

 

Image name: 0_0.png

 

For two images like it was in AoH2 it would be:

BackgroundSize_X: 2,
BackgroundSize_Y: 1,

 

Image name: 0_0.png

Image name: 0_1.png

## The width of every single image should be the same!
## The height of every single image should be the same!

## The width and height may be different.

 

Read: MapEditorSettings.txt file, there is more tips!

 

 

BackgroundSize_X: 3,
BackgroundSize_Y: 2,

 

Image name: 0_0.png

Image name: 0_1.png

Image name: 0_2.png

 

Image name: 1_0.png

Image name: 1_1.png

Image name: 1_2.png

What the meaning for cropping the image? I dont get it right, this is for optimization, like optimizations regions in AoH2? How many divides each side needed?

you cropped the image to pieces your rendering a large image image its more memory efficient to render parts the image instead of one entire image

no each tile should be 

The image width and height should be something around 2200 px - 2500px and and everything will be fine

I'll make a big provinces mode in the background of the game but I need the background of the game

It works almost the same as the old one, but is more convenient.

If you want, you can now create a province map in this map editor and once the game is released, your map will be playable in the game.

 

You can save the province by clicking Enter and continue adding another new province.

You can remove a province and add another one in its place by clicking "J". Do not close the editor until all deleted provinces have been added.

 

 

CUT_FROM_PROVINCE_MODE=true

New special version of the map, provinces created in this mode will crop the images of the main provinces.

 

All provinces are stored in one file: MapName/data/ProvincePoints.json

No more strange files with numbers like in AoH 2.

 

One tip: make map backgrounds larger than in AoH2, so your map will have more details.

For example with width: 6000 px or 8000 px or even more.

The main map for AoH3 will be: 17760 px width x 8600px height

 

Read: MapEditorSettings.txt file, there is more tips!

 

The map editor will also be included in the game files.
